3. Purge the fridge and pantry
Keeping your fridge and pantry spaces under control and in a clean condition will go a long way to ensuring the whole family can preserve and enjoy their food for longer.
Knowing which food belongs in the fridge or the pantry is the best place to start, and from there it’s vital to ensure you’re storing and sealing your food adequately.
Airtight containers will keep your pantry staples more fresh over a longer period of time, and removing mouldy and expired goods will make a difference too.
Keep these areas fresh and orderly with a regular inventory…
Pantry: Remove all items, wipe down the shelves using a damp cloth and all-purpose cleaner, then dry. Throw out any expired goods before neatly restacking shelves.
Fridge: Every month, remove all items from the fridge and dispose of anything old. Working top to bottom, clean each shelf and bin using warm soapy water. Wipe down the walls. Dry thoroughly.
