The fridge door is best for drinks and condiments that have been opened, like sauces and jams. Fresh fruits like avocados, bananas, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums and tomatoes should all stay out of the fridge because they release gasses which can spoil other foods according to Beko. It’s important to keep cooked and raw foods separate, and keep raw meat and fish well-wrapped, too. The temperature on the bottom shelf is closer to zero, so it’s best to keep raw meat and fish there. Yes, it turns out that ideally milk should actually be kept on the middle or bottom shelf rather than the fridge door, as opening and closing it all the time means the milk is susceptible to fluctuating temperatures. The temperature here should be about 5 degrees. The middle shelf is for dairy products like milk, cheese, yoghurt and butter. So how are you supposed to organise a fridge? Well, appliance brand Bosch says cooked foods, ready-to-eat meals, deli meats, baked items, and leftovers should be kept on the top shelf where the average temperature will be between 5 and 8 degrees Celsius. You won’t always end up buying as much when you can clearly see all that you have, and you won’t have to spend half the time moving things out of the way to get to what you want. Organising the fridge means you save money, time and energy. The best way to keep track of what’s in the fridge is to organise it. It stores so many of our essentials, but can often become cluttered with a whole range of fruit and veg, condiments, leftovers, snacks, half-full jars of ingredients you used for one recipe and never again – you know what we mean. During holidays that space is taken up by extra holiday food.The fridge is one of our favourite places to visit – unless a food shop needs to be done and it’s empty, that is. Most of the time we have leftovers that Dean takes for his lunch, so we keep a spot in the fridge for those.
