I Tested Viral TikTok Fridge Organization

[@myfishisbubbles]

Temperature AND humidity play a role in keeping produce crisp and hydrated. The fridge door is the warmest part of your refrigerator (because it goes through drastic swings in temperature and humidity when they are opened and closed). If you use your herbs fast, it probably won’t be an issue but if you notice them wilting quickly, you may want to rethink their placement. Also, keep in mind the plant hormone, ethylene, which is a gas that fruits and veggies can either emit or be sensitive to. Ethylene is basically the hormone that causes produce to ripen. The general rule is that most fruits are ethylene producers and most veggies are ethylene sensitive. If you store a item that is ethylene sensitive close to an ethylene producer, the ethylene sensitive produce will decay much quicker. Try to keep them separate to make sure you get the most shelf life out of your produce.

Organizing your fridge is easy. Keeping your fridge organized is an entire different thing

[@LaoSusan]

The beginning is so raw and real , I love it ! Lol we often forget things we buy and it spoils 😢

[@piperlynne1]

We gave up trying to organize our fridge instead we bought another smaller fridge just for fruit and veggies. That kept our main fridge so much cleaner and we could stock up on fruit and veggies without having to smush them into an already overloaded fridge.

[@nanamanaaa]

This! And as southeast asian, we always stored meat/chicken/seafood, and our family bought a fridge (I don't know what it's called, but it's the one where supermarket/convenience store used to store Ice Cream) for meat, chicken, and seafood.

I love that you did this and showed us your 1-week follow up! I would love if you could do a 2-3 week follow up regarding any lessons learned or changes made - especially regarding the produce! 3 things I will do asap because of your video: clean out my fridge, get some lazy Susan’s for my condiments shelf, and get that egg-keeper! Thank you!

[@farrahfox]

As much as I love this aesthetically, I feel like the fruits and herbs being out will make them absorb the odors from the fridge

[@moorenicola6264]

The leaves are unprotected. I feel like they'll break with the motion of opening and closing the fridge door.

[@jessicaowens3458]

I love your herb shelf! I use three drawers to keep produce, meat & cheese separate. I also seem to have an inordinante amount of cheese for a two person household, lol. I do a weekly purge of the produce drawer and the shelf for lefovers. We always have cooked rice in the freezer so anything I'd otherwise dump turns into fried rice, soup or an omelete.

[@delirium129]

Hi! For the herbs, apart from putting them in a glass with the roots covered in water, what I do is wrap the glass with plastic wrap (covering the leaves too, obvi). That prevents the leaves from turning yellow and drying out in the cold air of the refrigerator. I've done this mostly with culantro (aka recao, not cilantro) and it lasts for as long as two weeks or so.

[@LiangJessie]

Thats a good point to make - having so many things that they get lost and organization can help you utilize the groceries you bought. Downside is usually theres no space for leftovers

[@nicolecano3568]

These fridge and pantry organization videos are so enticing and aesthetically pleasing, however I found most of the recommendations to be impractical. I read produce should not be cleaned until you’re ready to eat otherwise it goes bad faster, and I also ran into the same issues with space and other people in the house staying adamant about putting things back where they go. I ended up with a bunch of plastic containers we no longer use in order to make space. Lol Great video tho!

[@a.b.37-f9v]

Exactly why i didn't try this! Family was dead-set on keeping things status quo and it became such a hassle to fight over this.

[@cherryblossomings]

I always thought the same thing, but once I tried out this method, I actually wasted less food. It takes so much mental energy to cook during the week, so having freshly washed produce ready to use makes such a big difference. Even if unwashed produce technically lasts longer, I've tossed so many soggy greens and spoiled herbs because I avoided using them in favor of more convenient options. I really wish I was the type of person who could keep track of everything in their little bags, but for now I need to see it all front-and-center! Agree that the most aesthetic option is certainly not the most practical, though, and function should be the highest priority.

[@ilax4244]

The containers made to extend fruit and veggies took up space and did not work for me. Understanding which items don't belong together would be helpful.

[@tquirkyt7118]

YES so hard to keep it organized and there is just two of us and in a brand new renovated kitchen brand new appliances you would hope or think it would be the motivation but honestly i have bought every container and bin and i just can't find a solution that keeps it organized so guess its just the internet once again keeping us wanting perfection !!! LOL Happy Organizing

[@scottrobinson9334]

I try to a quick clean through at least once a month, it usually ends up being at least once every 2-3 months. But the first thing I do is any bottles, packs and container I go through and throw out anything out of date as I’m emptying everything out. This actually cuts my time in half since I started, sometimes when I wait till longer bc of work schedule this will actually get rid of 50% or more of stuff. Since I started this I don’t even have to ask my roommate if he wants to keep anything, I just send him a text with a pic of things going out and I tell him I threw away everything out of date

[@momcatx2]

How you know youve become your parents: That fridge being open this long is making me super anxious! 😂

[@erikaleonard2848]

Your clean fridge in the end has made me want to find something to eat in mine😂 and this weekend I should clean mine out and wipe everything down. Last time I did it I realized idk how to get the glass shelves out and maybe they don't come out which stinks. 😮 you did a great job and it looks lots better! 😊

[@irdinajohari7694]

I love how relatable and real this is. I know things aren't as what they seem from the internet, but sometimes you can't help but think "I bet she has her stuff organised, neat and tidy unlike me". I recently moved which means a new slate of the bridge, I've been wondering how to properly organise and 'how long will this last.' Definitely need more storage compartments though, off to my 12345th trip to find "the perfectly sized" organisers T,T

[@legacyhuntress]

Thank you for being so real. I worried I’m the only one that ever found food that got lost in the back of the fridge. I just bought a new fridge because the side by side I had was terrible for us. Also my daughter wanted to know what brand was the giant jar of kimchi and where did you purchase it.

[@SarahE1982]

I would hate having a fridge that I needed a step stool to reach everything in. I already have to use one for the high cupboards. 🤣🤣

[@Mashiroro]

I’m going to clean my fridge today 😂 thanks for the motivation I’ve been putting it off. And where is that yellow shirt from! It’s so beautiful on you ❤

[@ashleyelll]

ahh love this! inspiring me to organize my fridge

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I have some of those bins and I need to be more watchful of what ends up in them. My refrigerator definitely needs help. Mine gets ice behind the veggie and fruit bins once a month so I have to be vigilant about cleaning under and getting the water out before it freezes or I cannot move the drawers.

[@bearclaire]

Highly suggest you upgrade to a new fridge. One that will never get ice. It was so nice once I got a new one and never have to deal with a freezer full of ice ❤

[@willcookmakeup]

Your fridge is so high up lol, that would drive me crazy getting to top shelf stuff. Love this look might do it in my fridge, just don't want to spend money on containers haha

[@scottrobinson9334]

One thing that will help to keep space down and save money with no waste is to not just restock the same things, I know this is one we all do, some (like myself) more than others. We have those specific things we always grab weekly and then get home and have some left from before and later have to throw out at least one or two of bc they expired. With me it’s sandwich meats. Also it helps to take those left overs and think of ways to make them into new dishes, bc honestly none of us really use leftovers after 24- hours and if we do we don’t really want to. But making them into new dishes and using what I have left over from stocking up the previous week instead of getting new stock helps invent new dishes on the fly and saves me at least $50 a week since I started. It does take some getting used to though and some extra diligence at reviewing inventory but is totally worth it. At the very least that’s $150-$200 a month you can be saving

[@datgal2u]

It's a fun video to watch - especially seeing the beginning and then the end result. However, I don't know if it's practical long term. Berries and such shouldn't be washed until you're ready to eat them as they'll go bad quickly. Your cabbage needs to remain in a plastic bag in the veggie drawer or it'll dry out and wilt quickly (I rinse mine and then wrap in a paper towel and tossed in the veggie drawer, which then allows months of storage). I always love the idea of herbs sitting in a container of water in the fridge, but they just don't last as long. Just wrap them in a paper towel and then seal them in a plastic bag (you can wash parsley and cilantro, but mint and basil don't do well washed before storing).

[@jurisdaughter2009]

I took out all of the big fridge drawers because I find them so hard to clean and so bulky. I now just put veggies and so on in smaller clear boxes/tupperware that are easy to put in the dishwasher.

Viewing this from France (KZbin algorithms ?) I've been looking at a few videos from this channel and I have to say that American Fridges are pretty seriously build, very big and shining and strong, but you should consider to build the houses in the same way, actually they look like nut shells to me ! like the house of the second little pig in the Disney animation movie ! I've been seeing the video about your house remodeling, and I was very much amazed by how shallow was the house ... I am very sorry for you about the whole experience. You seem to recover well, I would have been crushed ! I wish you the best with your home and more important with your family.

[@AskMiko]

Homes in US are built for the region. I’m sure you haven’t been to all 50 states, but most homes are brick. In really hot climates not so much but your Disney reference is so not US as a whole and likely of a specific home/videos you saw. U.S. homes are bigger, too. Plus many have air conditioning… something many French homes don’t 😂

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

@@AskMiko I don't know everything about houses in the USA, but air conditioning is not a sustainable solution, it needs a lot of energy, spit a lot of calories outside ... most of the very warm countries have survived without air conditioning and I hope it will go on for the survey of the climate on planet earth

Ugh God cleaning out the fridge is the worst especially as I have a weak stomach! In Ireland the standard fridge freezer is half the size. A lot of people have larger American size fridge freezers but not every kitchen is built to fit one in whereas there is always room for a standard one. I would like an American sized one but in a way it doesn't allow us to build up a huge amount of food with things lurking in the back. Obviously it still happens but not to a huge extent.

[@mbncd]

Just a note to folks doing this on a budget: Please keep your fridge doors shut when possible. Your fridge detects the temperature and works extra hard to keep things cool when it starts to warm up. Standing in front of an open fridge and talking like this lets all the cold air out, making the fridge work harder, costing you more energy and risking damaging the motor sooner. If you want to look at your shelves while planning, take a picture on your phone/tablet and then close the fridge. If you aren't actively taking things out, putting things in, taking a quick picture or video, measuring (so you can get correctly sized storage containers for your set up) or cleaning, those doors should be shut. Your electricity bill will thank you.

[@Iluvchknz]

Stop calling the dates on the food expiration dates!!! They are sell by or use by and are not a statement if the food is unsafe to eat. They are arbitrary dates set by the manufacturer on their perception of the quality before and after the date. FUN FACT… the only food in the US required to have a true EXPIRATION DATE is baby formula.
