Well, not really here are some alternative food storage tips so you can live on a smaller fridge – they’re cheaper and use less electricity.
1. Fruits – They don’t need to be kept in the fridge. Instead, place apples, oranges, pears, bananas and other fruits in an attractive fruit bowl. Fruits are Fine for up to Five days at room temperature but keep them away from sunlight. The fruit bowl also looks good on the kitchen counter and reminds you to eat your fruits daily!
2. Tomatoes - Storing tomatoes in the fridge will cause them to lose flavor and develop a mealy texture. The best is to store them at a room temperature on the kitchen counter with stem-side down.
3. Eggs – Ever wonder why supermarkets never place, eggs at the chilled area? Just store them in a dry cabinet and rotate them every few days. This will prevent the air sac inside the egg from settling which will make the eggs go bad.
4. Sauces and condiments – Most commercially made condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise and salad dressing don’t need to be stored in the fridge because they contain preservatives to prolong their lifespan. So keep them on the kitchen counter or in the cabinet.
5. Milk - Buy the UHT sort in small cartons which are found on supermarket shelves instead of fresh milk that is stored at the chilled area. This way, you can keep the milk in a cool, dark cabinet and chill an hour before drinking.
