Refrigerator Storage Hacks

A cheese bell isn’t just a great way of storing cheese in your fridge, it’s also an elegant way of serving and presenting your cheese. Most cheeses can be kept fresh by putting a sugar cube inside the cheese bell. The sugar helps absorb excess moisture.

Fruit and vegetables can be frozen when they're fresh. Blanched vegetables freeze particularly well. You can use frozen fruit for a quick morning smoothie or fruit purees. Tip: freeze in small portions so it's easier to manage. Don’t forget to date your fruit and vegetable freezer bags or containers.

Fresh meat should be consumed as soon as possible. However, if you freeze it, try and make sure it is as flat as possible in the freezer, or is frozen in a very flat box. Tip: mark quarter sections before freezing. This way it freezes faster, thaws better, and can be portioned out more efficiently.

Do you have leftover soup or sauce? Freeze them in muffin tins or ice cube trays. This way, you’ll always have enough small portions to easily use for other meals.
