Organizing is halfway to a balanced life.
If you tend to accumulate unnecessary packaging inside your fridge, leading you to look for lost bottles between the thousands of packages on the shelves, or even to find food already expired - we have the perfect solution for you.
An attractive and harmonious fridge, with all the food in its proper place, will make your life much more practical. In&Out Cooking has prepared a list of suggestions that will make a difference in your storage method and, consequently, in the correct conservation of your food.
First of all, the ideal temperature must be taken into account: the fridge should be around 4ºC and the freezer around -17ºC. There are colder areas, so the different types of food need to be arranged in strategic places to preserve them.
1. Start by removing everything and cleaning the shelves. Check the expiration dates and throw away what is no longer suitable for consumption.
2. Label the containers and, in the case of leftover meals, write down the dates on which they were cooked and until when they should be consumed.
3. It's time to plan food disposition:
- Upper shelves: this is where the temperature is most stable. You can and should store all pre-prepared foods, drinks, leftover meals and any ready-to-eat food in this area.
- Lower shelves: this is the coldest part of the fridge. Dairy, eggs and raw meat can be stored here.
- Drawers: store fruit and vegetables in different drawers. These should not be close together to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
- Door: the warmest place and also where the temperature tends to vary due to the opening and closing of the fridge. You should only place seasonings, water and non-fresh juices on your fridge door. Avoid perishable food in this area.
4. Do not overload the shelves: air must circulate to keep the temperature as stable as possible. To do this, place only the essentials and use the appropriate containers that are easy to store.
Guzzini airtight containers, designed by Spalvieri&DelCiotto, are available in different colours and shapes. Specially designed to store food in the fridge in a space-saving way, you can also heat them in the microwave.
Joseph's airtight container sets save space through their fitting solutions.
5. Avoid placing foods such as potatoes, tomatoes, onions and pumpkins. They should be stored outside the refrigerator. This gives you more space.
6. Avoid packing foods that are more likely to transmit odours with those that catch them - for example, avoid putting fish and delicatessen together with eggs and dairy products.
7. Make a habit of covering all containers so that they can be kept longer. Use extension and suction lids.
Lékué's extendable lids, available in different sizes, adapt to the most different containers and foods, best preserving their taste, colour and texture.
8. Arrange the packages with the shortest expiry date on the front so you can consume them first.
Take some of your time at home to do this task. The role of this appliance in our homes is quite significant. Therefore, we must take into account its excellent preservation. Start today and put this advice into practice, and we guarantee it will make a difference.
