Take the vegetables and fruits out of the bag
- When you store the vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator in a bag, a process of moisture begins to form quickly and causes the vegetables and fruits to rot quickly. Therefore, when arranging the refrigerator, it is advisable to take the vegetables and fruits out of the bags and thus their freshness is maintained for a long time and the rotting process slows down. It is also advisable not to store tomatoes next to cucumbers The tomato emits ethylene which accelerates the ripening of vegetables and especially cucumbers. We stored them in separate drawers or boxes.
Proper arrangement of refrigerator shelves and drawers
- In the home kitchen of most Israeli families you will find large-volume refrigerators, because Israelis like to entertain and prefer large weekly purchases over a small daily purchase (as Europeans do).
The result is a very full refrigerator, in which sometimes products are forgotten in the back.
By properly arranging the shelves in the refrigerator, you will be able to see all the products in it, and you will automatically be able to use them frequently and even check their validity frequently.
The refrigerator drawers are important to arrange and not put items on top of each other.
In addition to vegetables and fruits, it is recommended to place meat and fish in drawers.

It is advisable to store spices in the refrigerator
- many of us place the spices on the counter or in drawers. Despite the durability of the spices, they often lose their strength and color. Red spices - like paprika and red pepper, should be stored in the refrigerator and thus their color and taste will be preserved for a longer time.
What not to store in the refrigerator door
- Every day we go to the refrigerator, and the first thing we do is open the door. Opening the refrigerator door and leaving it open for a long time regulates the temperature of the refrigerator and may impair the quality and freshness of the products. Among the products that should not be stored in the refrigerator door - eggs, milk, cheese, and vegetables.
So what to store in the refrigerator door?
Things that are less vulnerable to rapid spoilage, such as sauces and spreads - ketchup, honey or jam. Most of the sauces we buy have preservatives, so there is no need for constant and prolonged cooling in order to maintain their freshness and quality.
It is easiest to forget about the products that are pushed to the back rows.

Do not concentrate all the products in one place
- Israeli families consume many food products that require refrigeration, so it is often not possible to find space in the refrigerator to put the new products that have been purchased, and they are placed on top of each other.
It is very important not to pinch the products and allow the cold to pass between them and cool them, to maintain freshness for a longer time.
