After a trip to the grocery store, unloading food into the refrigerator might seem like a simple process, but it’s not as straightforward as you may think. From the shelves to the drawers and the refrigerator door, where things go in the fridge matters for proper food safety and storage.
Before you store anything, make sure that your fridge is the proper temperature. According to the USDA, “Refrigerators should be set to maintain a temperature of 40 F or below.” Your fridge may already include a built-in thermometer to help regulate the temperature, but if yours doesn’t have that function, you can buy an appliance thermometer.
