Cool storage is not only good for food.
We'll tell you which things belong in the refrigerator - and what they do.
Butter, cream, sausage: many
foods
belong in the refrigerator.
But there is a lot more that is better to keep in the
refrigerator
.
With these
ingenious tricks
, you will rearrange your refrigerator.
Offenbach - There is a
refrigerator
in every household.
It should be clear to everyone that butter, milk and sausage belong in the refrigerator.
Discussions are mostly only about which foods shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator and how to properly load the refrigerator.
But even if many
belong in
it,
food
is not the only thing that is best stored in the refrigerator.
We'll show you what other things you should also keep in the fridge.
These 8 things belong in the refrigerator - except food
Whether
textiles
,
kitchen utensils
or
cosmetics
: There are some things that should be better cooled before use.
Above all, this can improve the durability of many things and make them easier to use.
You can find out from us the
advantages of keeping one or the other rather
crazy object
in the
refrigerator
and which objects these are.
1. Creams - Refreshing care from the refrigerator
The first
thing
that
you
should store in the refrigerator next to food is creams:
skin cream
,
face
cream
,
eye cream
.
The cool storage extends the shelf life of the cosmetic products and
creams from the refrigerator
also have
a refreshing effect.
Especially in the morning, when many are plagued by dark circles and puffiness, an eye cream from the
refrigerator can work
wonders.
All signs of tiredness will then be creamed off your face.
The same applies to face masks, for example, and a cool body cream
can also keep you refreshed longer
after a shower in
summer
, so that you don't immediately have the feeling of sweating terribly again.
2. Eyeliner - Consistency matters
A second tip from the cosmetics department: store your
eyeliner
in the refrigerator.
The product becomes a
little firmer
when it is
stored in the refrigerator,
which makes the
eyeliner
much finer and more precise.
If you prefer to
use
kohl
, the same applies: it is better to store it in the refrigerator too.
The
tips
of Kayal pens often break off when applied.
If you store the pen in a cool place, the product hardens a little so that the tip breaks off less often and you have more of the product.
3. Nail polish stays liquid longer in the refrigerator
One more product and our new
“cosmetics compartment” in the refrigerator is
full for the time being.
Nail polish
.
The problem with the colorful paints: They
often
dry out in
summer
, so that in the end you sometimes have to throw away hardly used products.
The cold in the refrigerator helps prevent
drying out
.
However, you should not
store
nail polish permanently in the
refrigerator
.
The reason for this is that the refrigerator usually only has temperatures of 1 to 6 degrees Celsius and that is not good over a longer period of time: the
paint
becomes thick.
There is also the risk that the nail polish will absorb moisture if the lid is not properly closed.
4. Pillow cases from the fridge ensure a good night's sleep in summer
A real
life hack for hot summer nights
:
Put the pillowcase
in a plastic bag in the
fridge
during the day
.
Take it out in the evening and use it to cover your pillow, it is super refreshing and prevents you from a sleepless night and extreme
sweating
.
Some even put their pajamas in the fridge during the day to
freshen up,
and others
simply
turn a
hot water bottle into
a "
cool bottle
".
My mother's little life hack against the heat:
Fill a hot water bottle with cold water and put it in the fridge.
Before you go to bed, put them under the covers.
Later, when you go to sleep, the sheets are (at least for a short time) nice and cool!

Simply put cold water in a hot water bottle, put it in the
refrigerator
for a while
and then go to
bed
with it.
5. Metal dishes for cooking and baking - a professional tip for the refrigerator
Some
kitchen appliances
are also in
good hands
in the
refrigerator
.
When baking, it can definitely help to cool the necessary utensils such as metal bowls or whisks beforehand.
Because, for example, when
whipping
the
cream
, cool
cookware
pays off
: it becomes significantly creamier.
6. The emergency jar for the refrigerator can save lives
The emergency
box
can be
a real
lifesaver in the refrigerator
: It contains an
information sheet
with personal data such as
religion
and
health insurance number
as well as information about
illnesses
,
family doctor
,
nursing service
or
relatives
.
There are also details of where that
drugs
that
advance directive
may even find a precaution and packed bag for a hospital stay.
The number one target group are, of course, old people who live alone.
But it is certainly a sensible preventive measure for every household.
But why is the emergency
box kept
in the
refrigerator
door?
Quite simply: there is a refrigerator in every apartment.
And how do the ambulance service or the
emergency doctor
know
that such a can is available?
In addition to the information sheet, the box also includes two stickers: one for the
refrigerator
itself, one for the inside of the apartment door.
+
Off to the cold: The emergency jar actually belongs in the refrigerator alongside butter, eggs and mustard.
Because there is one in every apartment.

7. Tights - Tear-proof from the refrigerator
Nylon tights
are a pretty
accessory
.
But unfortunately they are not very resistant and annoying ladder stitches often destroy the outfit.
Here, too, the
refrigerator
can
help
: just put the tights in the refrigerator for a few hours before wearing them.
The result: The fibers contract in the cold and do not tear as easily.
8. Batteries last longer in the refrigerator
Sounds crazy, but you might have heard of
batteries
claiming to last longer if you keep them in the
fridge
or
freezer
- and it's actually true.
However, you must pay attention to the following: Store the batteries in a closed container so that no
moisture can get
into the batteries.
In addition, storage in the refrigerator makes sense, especially with rechargeable batteries.
Alkaline batteries generally lose very little energy, so the
space in the refrigerator is
certainly better used for a delicious yogurt or your eye cream.
