It may not rank with the most vital of household chores, but properly organizing food in your refrigerator parts can make a huge difference when it comes to convenience, simplicity and getting the most out of your perishable food. Food stored where it doesn't belong will go bad faster, and stashing items at random creates a sense of chaos that will make finding what you want difficult. Here are a few tips on how to best organize food in your refrigerator parts to maximize freshness.

Essential Tips for Arranging Your Refrigerator

1. Vegetables in the Crisper Drawers 

The crisper drawers should be used to stash fruits and vegetables. If your fridge allows you to adjust the humidity in your drawers, all the better: vegetables like broccoli, green onion, and carrots thrive in high humidity, while apples, mushrooms, and ripe avocados last longer in low-humidity conditions. 

2. Condiments and Beverages in the Door

The refrigerator door tends to be the warmest region of your refrigerator parts. Because of this, it's best to use this space for items that won't go bad in warmer temperatures, including condiments, sodas, and water. 

3. Dairy on the Bottom Shelf

The bottom shelf of the refrigerator is the appliance's coldest section. You want to use that space to store items that sour the fastest, including milk, raw meat and eggs. Additionally, storing raw meat on the bottom shelf guarantees that any fluids from leaky packaging won’t seep onto the rest of your refrigerator parts.
