JAMIE HORD: Just like any other space that you're organizing, you want to pull everything out, sort everything. You want to toss anything that's old, or expired, or perished. And then when you're placing items back into your fridge, there's a specific way to organize the fridge in terms of temperature of the fridge, and you want to prevent any cross-contamination.
We're using clear bins so you can see right inside of them, but we're also labeling the bins as well. In this fridge, we've got two drawers on the bottom. The best categories to live in the drawers are fruits and veggies. And then we also have some overflow fruit in the bin above.
Here we have a bin of raw meat at the bottom. We've got a bin of deli items. The next shelf up, we have a zone of dairy. So we've got our milks, drawer of cheese here, and then yogurt and dips. And then here we're using drawers to maximize the height of the space.
FILLIP HORD: As you can see, we have an eggs organizer, a cans organizer, and then just a little bin for leftovers.
JAMIE HORD: So the fridge door is the warmest part of the fridge. So you want to put items here that aren't going to perish quickly. Next up, we're going to talk about the freezer.
And just like the fridge, we're going to use bins in the freezer as well and labels. Here we have a bin of breakfast items, frozen fruit, frozen veggies, a bin of kids' meals, microwave meals, and raw meat.
So the freezer door is usually shallow shelves. So this is great to store smaller items, like ice cream, or popsicles, or ice packs. Hopefully, you enjoyed these tips and tricks to organizing your fridge and freezer. This has been "In The Know-- Uncluttered." I'm Jamie.
