Do you lose things in your freezer? Here are a few tips for staying organized. Fridge Freezer. Put a dish organizer or two on the top shelf. I slip cheese bricks on the top, and have two more shelves to place items so they are easier to see Chest Freezer. Lots of plastic baskets for under the provided baskets, colour coded for different items, pork, beef, chicken etc. pick it up and go through it instead of diving into the freezer. A dish organizer set sideways can be ...used for sliding boxed items like pizza, chicken strips and premade snacks so they are handy to grab. I also made a real effort once in a while to eat out of the freezer make meals that will use up what is in the freezer. This can save some money one month, make sure things get used in a timely manner, and gives you an opportunity to give the freezer a good cleaning.

Hi - I know its been a while, but with all of us trying to limit our trips to the store I thought this might be interesting to anyone out there that does not use their fridge crisper air vents. (I wont admit how old I was when I realized how they work) The crisper drawer extends the life of your fruits and vegetables by controlling the airflow around them via the vents. Most crisper drawers have adjustable humidity vents, allowing you to close off the airflow (creating mo...re humidity) or open it up (creating a low-humidity environment). The best way to manage your crisper environment is by creating one high- and one low-humidity crisper drawer. As a general rule of thumb, use the low-humidity setting for anything that rots easily. That means apples, pears, avocados, melons or stone fruits. The high-humidity drawer is great for anything that wiltsthink thin-skinned vegetables like asparagus or leafy vegetables like greens. The high-humidity drawer is also ideal for ethylene gas sensitive items (like strawberries). Tip: You can usually google your make or model of fridge to get details on the settings if need be.
