I have a plain old apartment refrigerator. But, what I’ve done to update it is to source an order an extra shelf that fits my model fridge. I’ve installed the shelf and put 3 refrigerator organizers on that shelf that have a short height. I use the 2 larger organizers to store meats and cheeses separately and I use the narrower one in the middle to store salad dressing packs. I do realize, however, that refrigerator organizers are both blessing and curse. They’re a blessing when you stick to buying staples that fit them and they’re a curse when you deviate from that.

Don't they go off quicker though? I would have though that, for example, onion will last longer if it is whole. Some foods will tarnish on the cut sides as well quite quickly. I always cling film the edge of cucumbers for this reason.

She said the coldest is the bottom, I think only if it's a bottom freezer fridge. We have the top freezer kind and the top shelf gets so cold cause it's right underneath the vent where the cold blows out, sometime it becomes so cold it freezes meat that were not even frozen when I put it in.

@MommyLifeWithAdrienne 7 жыл бұрын

Joanne Garcia I think she said that because heat rises and cold air goes downward. My top shelf gets pretty cold too though so idk...

@jennifermiller9727 5 жыл бұрын

you are correct joanne, on top freezers, the cold air is made in the freezer and blown into the fridge below. the top is always the coldest, then goes down a couple degrees each shelf as you go down, thats why the fruit and veggies is stored in the bottom because it's the warmest down there, not to freeze your veggies. the door is also as warm as the bottom veggie drawers, and milk shouldnt be stored in the door for that reason because it will expire sooner than the expiration date, unless you go through it really fast ( i know some who can go thru a gallon a day, and in that case it obviously doesnt matter if it's in the door)

@bossman3587 Ай бұрын

I put white paper towels on the sides doors and folded them to fit for easy clean up from any dripping of the jars. And sometimes I put them with vegetables so it absorbs the moisture and they stay crisp.

What seems to always be overlooked, and most people don't know, it's HOW and how NOT to store produce. You shouldn't store ethylene prising producing produce together with those that are sensitive to it. ie store tomatoes with cucumbers and the cucumber will spoil faster. Shouldn't that kind of thing be an integral part of helping someone organize their fridge? The above to cut up and deal with the progressive right away is great though.. I wonder how long they will keep that way as I've been wanting to adopt this myself.

Maybe I am stupid, or maybe I am not. I had this tendency to think the top was coldest, but it might actually be in fridges with a freezer part. I think possibly I tended to always put my sunflower spread at the top, but I think it is because that fridge had a freezer compartment at the top. I also note that frost tends to form at top area as well, so maybe this is also because of freezer compartment.

Some tips: take any plastic covering off mushrooms. Total opposite of cheese or bread. If you get mushrooms in a carton with cling film take this off immediately before putting in fridge. The longer you leave them in there, they will shrink. It is better they shrink than for them to go off though. I always put bread in the fridge too. Lasts SOO much longer!
