How to manage the space in your refrigerator

While you have to stock more coolers for summer, here's how you can make space for other things in your fridge.

Compartmentalise
Although, refrigerators are already designed with specific compartments for each item, you can make it even more organised by creating different within the existing ones. For instance, if your egg holder is too long, then utilise it to keep small items like sauce or oregano sachets, soup and popcorn packets, etc. You may also want to extend your meat drawer to accommodate other frozen items like peas, potato smilies, etc. Also, you can use the horizontal space of your freezer door to keep dry and powdered spices, so that they do not go bad during this season.
Label your food
For most of us with huge refrigerators, it is leftover food that takes the maximum space, as they always keep getting stocked behind fresh food. Check the shelves every alternate day to find if there's anything older than two days. Keep track of your food basket, as rarely used veggies like coriander leaves, etc. might start rotting after a day or two during this season.
Manage leftovers
Checking cooked date is much more reliable than tasting or smelling refrigerated food. Label your food items to make it easy for you to find them when you need. If you have similar boxes to store sprouts, cut vegetables or spice mixes, make sure you label them so that you do not hve to open every container when you need something. Also, mention the cooked date on stored food so that you know when to discard it.
Maintain uniformity

Since every shelf is of a different height, categorise them into small, medium and large containers to make each one of them visible. Be sure, the relatively bigger and less used containers are kept behind. Choose round and rectangular containers for the door shelves.
