Fridge & Freezer Organization
The fridge is the one cupboard where organization is also food safety. Zones here follow temperature: ready-to-eat high, raw sealed low, condiments in the door, and a use-first bin where leftovers go to be eaten instead of forgotten. The freezer works flat: freeze thin, file upright, label everything.
Start-here checklist
- Assign zones once, label them, and let the labels teach the household
- Raw meat only on the bottom shelf, in a tray, sealed
- Milk and eggs out of the door — it is the warmest spot
- Freeze flat in bags, then file upright like books
