Kitchen hacks are really popular not only among older people who spend lots of time at home, but also by younger adults who run households and are looking for ways to make the most of their kitchens.
One of the main “attractions” when it comes to kitchen appliances is the refrigerator. We store many food products there and resort to it every time we need to nibble on something or are really hungry.
But, just like everything else, one needs to regularly clean their fridge if they want to prevent food-borne illnesses or food poisoning. Well, it might sound like a daunting task, but the tips we have compiled below will help you keep your fridge organized and clean as ever before.
Kids always forget where they put their cups and the easiest thing to do is open the cupboard and take another one. Moms certainly don’t like this method because they end up with a dozen cups in their sink, when most of them have only been used once or twice. Follow this
tutorial and make magnetic fridge cups for your little ones.
It is so upsetting when you have to give the mustard or ketchup container a good shake before use just because all the sauce has stuck at the bottom. The best solution to this is to repurpose an egg carton bottom so that it turns into a condiment holder.
Since you put all sorts of magnets on your fridge, you might as well turn them into something useful. This easy
DIY project, will help you arrange kitchen stuff by having it all stuck on your fridge. You can do the same for the inside of the fridge, too, and store food instead.
Keep the snacks in a separate area and put a tag there so that the kids (and you, why not?) know where to look for when they crave a healthy snack.
If you find yourself or your family constantly sticking post-it notes on the fridge (and some of them falling off which means you never get to send your message), then you might need to create a chalkboard fridge. You can follow these
instructions and you won’t regret it!
Tired of the sticky mess caused by dripping bottles and other containers? Absorbent liners might just be the answer to your problem!
It is a common problem to open many bottles or cartons of the same thing and then forget about it and open another one. We also happen to buy fruit and veggies before the ones bought the week before have been eaten. What’s the answer to this problem so they don’t go bad? Just place the older products in a separate drawer and let everyone know they are to be eaten first!
Have you ever thought you could use magazine holders to make special fast freeze shelves? Well, now you know!
You may have everything in your fridge, but when it’s full it’s probably hard to find everything you need. Plastic baskets and labels can come in so handy in this case! Not only do you have everything belonging to one category in one place, but labels also help you immediately know what is where.
In order to save room and make everything visible, you can use pins on the freezer shelves.
In order to keep everything within reach and avoid forgetting staff at the back of the fridge (ending up going bad- ew, you don’t want that) you can use a rotating tray.
12. How To Store Pre-Cut Veggies
Although pre-cutting fruits and veggies is not the best practice since they tend to go bad faster this way, you can keep them in glass containers to avoid contamination and make them more appealing to the family members. After all, everyone prefers bite-sized pieces than having to clean and cut the whole fruit/vegetable!
13. Reusable Shopping Bags
Another easy way to organize your freezer is to use reusable shopping bags to categorize your food and also save room.
Mason jars can come in handy in fridge organization. You can use them to store chopped up greens and herbs so you have them ready when you need them for a recipe.
On many containers you can find the indication about how many days after opening you can store the product. We might be mistaken- but we’re not- but we have a feeling that you can’t possibly remember when you opened each one. So, duct tape and marker can help you keep track of when you opened what and have only safe-to-eat food in your fridge!
16. Invisible Shelf Liner
If you don’t want to clean the shelves all the time, you can line them with plastic wrap and remove and replace them when they’re dirty. So simple, right?
In case you didn’t know it already, you can write on your freeze with a dry erase marker. This way you can easily keep track of your inventory, write shopping lists etc. Just make sure there are no unerasable pens around!
Mason jars can also prove useful for meal prep. Just put all your ingredients there and the next day you’ll have a great salad on hand- just add the dressing!
19. Magnetic Bottle Holders
Imagine how much space will open up in your fridge if you securely suspend your beer and soft drink bottles!
If there are no egg slots in your fridge, then you can improvise with these cute yet practical egg baskets!
Forget about storing milk in the fridge door. It is believed that temperature fluctuates too much in that area, making your milk go bad faster.
Use the bottom shelf to store your meats, so that you avoid any drippings from them to contaminate other fresh food.
Turn fridge cleaning into a game for your kids. Have them find the expired items and whoever finds the most can win a popsicle!
We can guarantee your kitchen experience will never be the same if you follow these hacks!
