Organise your fridge and freezer with GLAD

In order to prevent food waste it’s a good idea to become aware of how much food you’re throwing out and learn how to avoid it. GLAD wants to help you get to know your fridge and freezer better, with these pointers below.

Fridge

A poorly stacked refrigerator – or one overloaded with old leftovers – can make fresh food spoil more quickly because the air is not able to circulate properly. Remember that opening the door for 30 seconds will cause the temperature to rise around 6°C, and it takes the fridge 15 minutes to reach its set temperature again.

TIP: stay organised – remember the top shelf and the door are the warmest spots in your fridge, and the bottom shelf is the coldest spot, so learn which grocery items should go in each section. Here is a guideline:
• Top shelf: dairy, eggs, tortillas and fruit salad
• Dairy compartment: butter and cream
• Middle shelf: cooked meat and leftovers
• Bottom shelf: raw meat, fish, chicken and milk
• Drawers: cured meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables (wrapped in GLAD Cling Wrap)
• Door: condiments, jams and fruit juices

Freezer

Make friends with your freezer because it’s your biggest ally when it comes to not wasting food. Freeze food flat in GLAD ZipSeal Resealable Freezer bags (with air squeezed out for best performance), then stack the bags horizontally or vertically in the freezer. Be sure to name and date each package!

TIP: store left over soup or pasta in individual portions in the freezer – pull it out in the morning and it will be defrosted by lunchtime, giving you a quick, cheap and healthy meal. Or try putting berries or banana plus yoghurt, honey and some chia seeds into a GLAD ZipSeal bag and store in the freezer. Toss into the blender with a dash of milk and blitz for a frozen smoothie on the run.

All GLAD products are made for your convenience with the purpose of keeping your food fresh for longer. GLAD – Making Life a Little Easier.
