• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Seeking advice on effective food storage to prevent spoilage

SZYMONBIS said:
Hi everyone,

I am looking for practical advice on how to improve food storage in the refrigerator. Lately, I have been dealing with food spoiling much faster than expected, especially fresh vegetables.

Despite my efforts, I often find that leafy greens, herbs, and other produce lose their freshness within just a few days. This leads to unnecessary food waste, which I am trying to eliminate.

Any tips welcome!

Fridge temperature. Really important factor. There are quite a few reasons for temperature changes in a fridge - what type of fridge, how full or crowded the fridge is for example. I have two thermometers in each of our fridges - one on the top shelf, one on the bottom. Easy to keep an eye on temperature fluctuations if they happen.
