Refrigerators provide convenience for food preservation, but they are not equivalent to safes. Improper use can also lead to reduced food quality and even spoilage, resulting in waste.

Mistake 1: Put all fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator.

Not all fruits and vegetables are suitable for refrigeration. Tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, citrus and onions can be stored at room temperature; bananas, nectarines, pears, peaches and avocados are only suitable for refrigeration if they are overripe. Apples are best kept in the refrigerator.

Mistake 2: Improper cleaning of vegetables before refrigerating.

Experts said that after washing the vegetables, they must be drained and put in a sealed bag. At the same time, put a napkin, wrap the bag tightly, and put it in the refrigerator. Failure to drain the water will cause bacteria and mold to grow, and vegetables are more prone to rot.

Mistake 3: Put the bread in the refrigerator and keep it cold.

Baked food such as bread in the refrigerator will cause different degrees of "dehydration", becoming dry and hard, with a very bad taste. Unfinished bread can be sliced ​​first and then frozen in a sealed bag. Before eating, the taste is basically unchanged.

Mistake 4: Store perishable food on the refrigerator door.

The refrigerator door is the place where the temperature fluctuates the most. It is usually slightly higher than the inner shelf of the refrigerator, which can easily lead to faster deterioration of food. Dairy products, eggs, meat, and cooked foods that require high temperature are best placed on a shelf with a lower temperature inside the refrigerator.

Mistake 5: Always put new foods first.

Frozen food should be placed in an orderly manner. Old food should be placed prominently in the front and eaten as soon as possible, while newly purchased food should be placed slightly behind.

Mistake 6: Do not change the container after the canned food is opened.

Once the canned food is opened, it is best to eat it as soon as possible. The remaining small containers should be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise the deterioration will be accelerated.

Mistake 7: "Hide" the leftovers.

Leftovers are easily forgotten after being put in the refrigerator, and deteriorate after a few days. This is especially true when the container is opaque. The best way is to put them in a transparent glass container, which is not easy to forget.
