If you want your products to be stored as long as possible and to avoid unpleasant odors in the refrigerator, you need to remember some rules.

For example, you cannot place hot dishes on appliance shelves.

This habit can damage the equipment, and it is also important to remember that in this case, the food will not be able to be stored for more than a day.

In addition, you should not place raw and cooked foods next to each other.

In this case, bacteria can be easily transmitted from the first.

It should also be noted that it is not recommended to store food in the refrigerator in plastic bags.

In this case, moisture accumulates in the packaging, which leads to food spoilage.

It should be added that experienced cooks advise not to store apples and other fruits that emit ethylene in the refrigerator. This is a gas that accelerates ripening. Other fruits in this case will only spoil faster.
