Keep it Fresh...or Frozen
- Clean and wipe down shelves and drawers regularly
- Don't wash fruits or vegetables until they're ready to eat. Unwashed produce lasts longer.
- Check expiration dates before eating or drinking. If all else fails, smell it first!
- Place paper towels in bags of lettuce and other greens. It will absorb the extra moisture and foods will stay fresher longer.
- Wrap parsley, cilantro, and leafy greens in newspaper or papertowel. They won't wilt as fast.
- Extend the life of your apples by keeping them in the fridge. They'll stay good for weeks.
- Tomatoes don't care for cold. ..save room and keep them in a cool place outside the fridge.
- Too hot and no air-conditioning? Put tomatoes in the fridge, but keep them away from other veggies. Tomatoes emit a gas that hastens the spoiling process
- If you're worried about bread going bad, put in the freezer. When ready for eating, warm it up in the microwave for 30 seconds and then toast.
- Too much dairy, not enough room? Don't throw it out. ..freeze dairy products like cheese and yogurt. Defrost when ready to eat. Partially defrosted yogurt tastes like ice cream!
- Freeze berries and ;bananas. They can be used in ;recipes, blended in shakes or as cereal or yogurt toppers.
- Keep nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews and pistachios in the freezer. They'll stay fresh and crunchy for ages.
- Freeze your flour. It'll keep longer.
Get Organized
- Keep foods organized by shelf or drawer. Keep dairy together or with meats. Place fruits and veggies in the appropriate drawers.
- All condiments and bottled goods should be stored in the door.
- Conserve space. If you have just a little bit of something in a large container or bottle, move it to a smaller container. Just make sure it's labebed so you know what you're eating!
- Place unopened products that don't require immediate ;refrigeration ;(like salad dressings and sauces) in the cupboard first.
- Put frequently used products towards the front of the fridge.
- No space for more containers? Store foods in plastic sealed sandwich bags to save room.
- Ensure all perishables have legible expiration dates. If it's hard to see or you're moving to another container, make a label first!
- Throw out the carton. Place eggs in an egg organizer, just make sure the shells are labeled so you know when to toss.
- Get stackable, clear containers in different sizes. These are great for everything from sauces to leftovers, are durable and great space-savers. Just make sure they're ;transparent so you can see what's in 'em.
