  • Its the holiday season and, for those hosting
    family and friends, that means a full fridge but
    a full fridge doesnt have to be a cluttered one.
    Theres nothing worse than having to dig around
    your fridge while trying to prepare dinner!  Save
    yourself the hassle by getting your refrigerator
    organized and keeping it that way. Here are some
    tipsThe first thing you should do is clean out
    your refrigerator. How long has it been since you
    did a deep clean? Now is a great time to remove
    all items, dispose of expired products, and scrub
    the inside clean. Once your fridge is cleaned,
    its time to get organized!As you replace
    items, keep these tips in mind.
  • Set the temperature to 40F (5C) or below, as
    any warmer will risk growing harmful bacteria.
    Check humidity settings on produce, crispers, and
    deli drawers. Make sure each drawer is set to the
    correct settings to maintain optimal freshness.

  • Figure out which items need to be refrigerated
    and which dont. Common items that end up in the
    fridge unnecessarily are ketchup, mustard, hot
    sauce, garlic, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and
    bananas. You can save a lot of space this way by
    keeping items like these in a pantry instead.
  • Take all your regularly used condiments and
    sauces and place them on the doors where theyre
    easily accessible. Stash items that are used only
    every so often together toward the back of the
    fridge, but remember to check expiration dates.
  • Group like-items together to avoid hunting around
    or buying duplicates such as salad dressings,
    salsas, jams, or items like olives and pickles.
    Keeping them in labeled bins will allow you to
    pull them all out together.
  • Eggs do best when kept in their original carton
    and on the middle shelf where the temperature is
    most consistent.
  • Milk tends to land on the top shelf and this
    makes sense if you and your family are big milk
    drinkers. However, if you use milk is mainly for
    cooking purposes, place it on the bottom in the
    back where temperatures are coldest.

  • You should never put milk or quick-to-expire
    items on the doors of your fridge, as the
    temperatures on the door can fluctuate.
  • Packaged raw meat and seafood should go on the
    very bottom where it is the coldest. If juices
    drip, you wont risk contaminating your whole
    fridge.
  • Vegetables will stay fresher longer with a bit of
    humidity and should be stored in the drawer
    marked high humidity.  Fruit stays fresher in the
    low humidity drawers, sometimes marked crisper.
    Keep fruit in original packaging or in a plastic
    bag loosely tied.
  • Dont slice food until you are ready to consume
    it. Chopped meat, fruit, and veggies spoil faster
    than whole items.
  • Deli meats belong in the shallow meat drawer,
    which is slightly colder than the rest of the
    fridge, or, if theres no such drawer, on the
    bottom shelf.
  • Butter and soft cheeses dont need to be super
    cold, so they can live in the dairy compartment
    on the door.

6
  • Dont overstock your fridge. Air needs to
    circulate around food to keep it cool. A crowded
    fridge can create warm spots and lead to
    spoilage. Remember to rotate items in the fridge
    before grocery trips. Move foods close to
    expiration date forward and throw away any foods
    that are past their expiration date.
