Having an organized fridge makes it so easy to find the required things or ingredients and make sure that items are not rotting in some compartment of the fridge. Having a properly organized fridge makes us aware of the ingredients which are living the last days of their life so we can use them up quickly.
So I am just talking about the idea of taking a few easy steps to make it convenient for you to find things in the fridge. Since the fridge is an essential part of any kitchen, having an organized fridge is important if you want to have an organized kitchen.
We will also talk about the best place to keep a particular group of food in the refrigerator. So let’s have a look at 10 clever fridge organization ideas for a perfect fridge.
Outline
10 Clever Fridge Organization Ideas for a Perfect Fridge
1. Keep Liquid Dairy Products in the Back
Keep milk, yogurt, and other such liquid dairy products in the backside of the fridge on the lower shelf as they need to be stored at low temperatures. The lower shelves are usually cooler than the upper ones.
But it also depends on the refrigerator, some have more cooling vents on the top shelf. So check your refrigerator.
Always keep milk and other liquid dairy products in the coolest part which is the backside on the shelves. You can also keep butter and cheese in front of them or on the topmost rack of the door.
2. The Bottom Part (drawers and shelf, if any)
If you have two drawers one above the other, use the above one for storing vegetables and fruits and the lower one for keeping the meat.
But, if the two drawers are sideways, then there is no problem at all. You can use either drawer for storing any of the two things.
If you are a vegan, you can use them to store fruits and vegetables separately.
If you don’t have a drawer, it’s okay. Just make sure you don’t store meat above the veggies as it may contaminate the vegetables. If there is no other option, then put the meat in Ziploc bags and keep it in a plastic container to prevent leakage or drips, and then store it in the fridge.
You can even keep the meat in the freezer.
3. Non-dairy Beverages and Condiments on the Door
Non-dairy beverages such as juice, alcohol, cold drinks, and other canned beverages can be kept on the door shelves. Unlike milk, these do not require the coolest place of the fridge for storage.
You can also store some condiments which require a little cooling on the door shelves.
4. Anti-skid Fridge Liners
Whenever something spills on the shelves in the fridge, it usually ends up making the entire rack messy and sometimes even the corners. To keep the fridge shelves stain-free and prevent them from getting dirty, use anti-skid fridge liners.
Line the shelves with these fridge liners and then keep the food items on them as usual. Since fridge liners are extremely easy to clean, if something spills, just take them out (if necessary), clean them, and then place them back.
It is so much better than wasting your time cleaning the shelves.
5. Stackable Rack for Water Bottles
It is a hassle when we need to keep more than two water bottles in the fridge for cooling especially when there is a shortage of space.
The best solution for this is to use a stackable wine rack to keep many bottles together in the fridge without utilizing a lot of space. Depending on the height, you can keep as many as nine bottles stacked on top of each other.
This also comes in handy during the summer, as by keeping 6-7 bottles of water together for cooling you don’t have to worry about filling the bottles again and again.
This wine rack will also prevent them from rolling as it has grooves meant for this purpose.
6. Keep Things Organized with Storage Bins
Use fridge containers to keep things organized. Categorize the items and keep similar items in the same basket. This is so convenient. Just pull that section of stuff in one quick movement, use and then keep it back.
You can use different baskets for spices, flour, nuts, and dry fruits, etc, and also label the containers for more ease.
Whenever you will take out two or more containers together, you can keep them back at their own place after reading the labels. This will keep the fridge organized and it will be a lot easier for you to locate and access the things you require.
You can even label the other areas in the fridge such as the compartments of the door according to the item you keep them.
7. Use Ziploc Bags
Use Ziploc bags for keeping gingers, chilies, herbs, and other such items which can rot easily. Storing them in Ziploc bags will make them last longer and also keep them organized.
8. Make Shelves from Magazine Holders
You can use magazine holders as shelves and use them for storing things in the refrigerator and keeping them organized. Magazine holders are a great way to organize your pantry as well.
9. Hang the Magnetic Stuff
Attach a strong magnetic strip on the ceiling of your fridge and hang bottles with metal caps over there. This helps in utilizing this space which otherwise is usually left unused.
Now you’ll have more space on the shelf for the things which you cannot hang.
10. Magnetic Containers
A similar idea to the previous point. Use the space on the walls of the fridge by using magnetic containers. You can buy them from the market or even make your own by sticking magnets on the bottom of the container.
This is a great idea for storing seeds, herbs, nuts, and any other dry stuff which you need frequently. Plus, it frees up space to store more things in the refrigerator.
You can get the containers
