How to store your food in the fridge?

Here's how to store food in your fridge so it’ll last longer.

• Follow the 'first in, first out' rule and eat the oldest leftovers first.
• Meat, fish, and poultry should be in the coldest spot in your fridge, usually at the bottom.
• Store hard cheeses in the store wrapping until you use them, then wrap them in wax paper, foil, or loose plastic.
• Don't store your milk in the door—it's the warmest spot in the fridge. The door should be used for nonperishable drinks and condiments only.
• Keep fruits and vegetables separate.
• Leave refrigerated produce unwashed in its original packaging or wrapped loosely in a plastic bag.
• Otherwise, avoid washing your produce before refrigerating it. The dampness helps the quick development of mould.
• Store cut fruits and vegetables in the fridge in perforated or unsealed plastic bags to maintain a moist environment yet still allow air to circulate.
• Onions, potatoes, and shallots should be stored in a cool dark place to keep them fresh, like a basket in a cupboard or a cellar. Once cut, onions should be stored in a resealable bag in the fridge for around a week.
