How To Organize Your Fridge
PUT THE FOOD YOU USE EVERYDAY ON THE TOP SHELVES
This includes butter in a covered dish; cheese, which you can keep in its box but in its wax wrapper; and fruits like citrus, grapes and watermelon.
STORE LIQUIDS THAT TAKE LONGER TO SPOIL ON THE FRIDGE DOOR.
It’s the warmest part of the fridge so it’s perfect place for condiments, which are high in preservatives; reduced-sodium soy sauce; and even an open bottle of wine (but store it only for three days).
STOCK FOOD THAT SPOILS FAST ON THE BOTTOM SHELF
If you can’t finish a batch of eggs in two or three days, keep them fresh here and in their original carton. Milk may fit in the fridge’s door, but the bottom shelf will also keep it fresh longer.
VEGETABLES THAT RELEASE MOISTURE GO IN THE CRISPER
But make sure you keep the produce segregated. Wrap fresh herbs in moistened paper, and place in a plastic bag. Long or leafy vegetables should also be wrapped in newspaper (not plastic bags).
