Did you know by simply placing food in the correct part of the fridge it generally keeps it fresher for longer?

Here’s our simple guide to fridge-mapping:

Top shelf: Should be used for leftovers (that have been cooled properly before placing in the fridge!), drinks and foods that are already cooked.

Middle shelf: Eggs & Dairy.

Bottom shelf: Raw meat, anything that is uncooked (this must be wrapped properly and kept safely away from cooked foods to avoid cross contamination).

Bottom drawers: Fruit (1 drawer) , vegetables & salads (1 drawer).

Side enclosed shelf: Any foods with strong smells that could penetrate and ruin other foods (blue cheese, chorizo). Raw food should not be kept in this part of the fridge.

Side Open Shelf: Condiments (This can often be the warmest part of the fridge so non-perishables work best here). Raw food should not be kept in this part of the fridge.
