Refrigerator Organization Tips

The refrigerators in the apartments at PepperTree are spacious, with adjoining freezers that feature ice makers. So your fridge makes a great place to store all kinds of delicious food for you to enjoy at home. The best way to make sure your food stays fresh, and that you don’t forget about items before they have gone bad, is to keep your refrigerator organized so that the food is easy to see and retrieve. Here are some refrigerator organization tips:

• Use the correct drawers for the correct types of produce. Remember: “Rot low, wilt high,” meaning that food that rots (apples, avocados, carrots, etc.) goes in the low humidity drawer while food that wilts (leafy greens, herbs, etc.) goes in the high humidity drawer.

• Use one shelf for items in small containers, such as yogurt, cheese, and eggs, so that they can easily be seen.

• Store condiments and butter in the door bins.

• Use a larger shelf for milk, juices, meats, poultry, and fish.

Also remember to clean out your refrigerator periodically throughout the year. Remove all items from the fridge, and throw away anything that is old or expired. Then use an all-purpose cleaner and sponge or paper towels to wipe down all the shelves. Place all the food items back in the fridge in an organized fashion. This will help to ensure that the fridge in your PepperTree apartment near The Villages, FL, will keep your food fresh and your food can be easily found within it.
