Your kitchen is a hardworking space, whether it’s preparing breakfast, packing lunch, or cleaning up after dinner. With a few minor adjustments to your food storage and fridge freezer usage, it can run a lot more efficiently, maintain the quality of your food, and save you money.
Set steady temperatures that suit everyday life
A good target is about 4°C in the fridge and -18°C in the freezer. If your model doesn’t show the temperature, then buy a thermometer to keep an eye on it. After making any adjustments to the settings of the appliance, give it a few hours to settle.
Consistent temperatures will keep food appetising and will reduce the frequency of grocery trips.
Arrange your fridge for optimal airflow
Ensure that milk and raw meat are placed on the inner shelves, not the door, and keep the crisper drawers free for fruit and veg. Maintaining space between items is ideal. Do not push food against the back wall. Group grab-and-go items on one shelf so you can open and close the door quickly.
This set up reduce door-open time and helps the fridge recover faster after each browse.
Shop, cook and store with less strain on your appliance
• Remember to let hot dishes cool on the counter before placing them inside the fridge.
• Batch cooking is great for meal prepping! Remember to divide your portions and place the food into shallow containers to allow for quicker cooling.
• Set up a weekly “use-up” shelf for items that need to be eaten first.
• To help yourself keep the fridge door shut, put labels on your leftovers with the date so that you don’t have to guess.
