Section-by-Section Guide to Storing Foods in the Fridge
Keeping your fridge organized can impact on how long your foods and beverages stay fresh.
Upper Shelves
Keep leftovers and ready-to-eat food items on the upper shelf; these are foods that are meant for immediate consumption and don't require cooking or other processing.

Middle Shelves
The middle shelves of your refrigerator are colder than other shelves and milk, eggs, and cheese should be stored there.
Lower Shelves
The lower shelves are colder like the middle shelves and raw meats, poultry, and fish should be kept there.
Crisper Drawers
Crisper drawers should be reserved for fruits and vegetables since they can control humidity effectively.
Side doors
Bottled beverages, water, soft drinks, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and dressings can be stored in the side door racks.
