Tips for an organized Samsung refrigerator

Milk

Eggs

Raw fish, meat, and poultry

Make sure to keep eggs in their original carton because this helps them last longer.

Keep meats on trays or in sealed bags to prevent drippings from contaminating other foods.

Although it can't go in the fridge, you may store bread in the freezer to help extend its shelf life a few weeks.

You can place a small lazy susan in the fridge to help store and organize containers for easy access.

Large amounts of leftovers should be transferred to several small containers, so they’ll cool faster. You should also position them towards the front of the fridge so you don't forget them.

Some foods can get pretty smelly, but storing them in airtight containers keeps those smells from getting into other foods, the rest of your fridge, or even your kitchen.

If you store leftovers at eye level, you're more likely to notice them and remember to eat them before they go bad!

Make sure you're following the USDA's recommendations for leftovers and food safety.

Do not store things that need to stay very cold on the freezer’s door since this area gets exposed to warm air frequently. Instead, store items that won’t spoil easily, such as bread, ice packs, butter, flour, or nuts.

Use the top shelf to store items that won’t leak and potentially contaminate your other food items. Things like bread, baked goods, fruits, and vegetables are great for the top shelf. It’s also the best place to store popsicles and ice cream.

The bottom shelf is where you should store items that may leak and contaminate other food. This includes meat, fish, soups, sauces, or prepared meals.

Do not store ice cream near the door where warm air will hit it every time you open the freezer. In addition, put plastic wrap over the opening of the ice cream container before putting on the lid. This seals the container and prevents freezer burn.

The following items should never be stored in the freezer: eggs, cooked pasta, dairy products (excluding ice cream and similar frozen treats), condiments, carbonated drinks like soda, and defrosted meat or fish.

Always label and date food packages you’ve placed in the freezer. This will help you remember when you froze the item and how old it is.

Store food packages (such as boxes or bags) vertically when possible. Most people lay down food items horizontally but having them vertical actually saves a lot of space in the freezer!
