Could you live without your fridge? Are you even using it correctly? A refrigerator should run below 5°C. Remember that the coolest part of the fridge is at the bottom and the warmest at the top. Learning where to store different foods in your fridge is also vital.

Take action:
Vegetables, salads, fruit and fresh herbs should be stored at the bottom and covered to prevent wilting; fruit juices, wine, milk and soft drinks should be stored in the door to prevent breakages; cheese, cream, butter, margarine, salad dressings, preserves, spreads, eggs and jam on the top or centre shelves; convenience foods, cooked items top and centre shelves; fresh and cooked meat, poultry and fish above the salad drawer, with raw meats below cooked meats.
