Who hasn’t thrown out food that has spoiled at the bottom of the fridge? Here are some tips to better organize your refrigerator.
-First, remove and discard food that is no longer edible. Then, thoroughly wash all the compartments.
-Reserve the top shelf for leftovers. By transferring them to glass containers or covering them with transparent plastic wrap, they’ll be easily visible to everyone.
-Make use of the bins dedicated to specific food groups, such as fruits and vegetables.
-Store meat on the bottom shelf since it’s the coldest place in the fridge. This way, other food won’t get spoiled if a mess occurs.
-The refrigerator door is the warmest spot in your fridge; use it for storing condiments and butter. Avoid placing cartons of milk or juice there.
-Keep fresh food, that you intend to cook soon, in the same place, so you don’t have to scout around for them.
-Create specific areas on your shelves for grouping snacks, beverages or dairy products.
-If you don't have many compartments, use plastic bins to keep similar items together.
-Consider rotating items regularly and placing the freshest products behind older food.
-Before restocking your refrigerator, put products back in place to check how much is left.
-Keep your grocery list handy, and jot down what's missing as you go along.
-Consider using plastic containers that are the same size. They’ll be easier to stack and line up without using too much storage space.
