In life there are the pros of the organization and the others. And it can be seen even in the fridge (or can be especially in the fridge?). If you are part of the second group and you tend to transform freezer and fridge into glazed bric-a-brac, you are given the tricks to see more clearly.
How to optimize our refrigerator?
A tidy refrigerator is essential to limit food waste
- Remove the fan to allow cold air to circulate freely. By storing food just in front of it, we limit the spread of cold air and do not offer the same quality of cooling to all stored foods. Beware of moisture and damage.
- Use the shelves wisely . On the lower ones, it will be preferable to lay heavy objects and those that could leak like family pots or dishes in sauce. On the upper ones, lighter and delicate items such as fruits are stored. Or the bread if it is the freezer.
- To hunt bulky packaging. Instead, food is stored in suitable bags. The small things ? They are all assembled in a box so as to prevent some from disappearing into hard-to-reach places.
- Make good use of the door by retaining the appropriate products. That is to say those which are damaged at ambient temperature (like the nuts or the vegetables) but need not be preserved at 3 ° C! In the freezer, the door shelf is also perfect for holding bottles of alcohol.
The right label: the secret to keeping well
Organization. This is the key word to see more clearly. Obviously, it works in the laundry and in the handbags. But not only. In the refrigerator too, using method is the best way to save space and time! The best ally to achieve this? Labels, provided they are well documented. What's on it?
- the name of the dish
- the date of freezing / preparation
- the indications necessary for reheating the dish
And to make everything really easy to use, we think of placing the label facing the door so that it is clearly visible at a glance, as soon as one opens the door of the fridge .
