Using a crisper drawer in a refrigerator correctly can help you store fruits and vegetables in optimal conditions to keep them fresh and extend their shelf life. Here’s how to use a crisper drawer effectively:
· Understand the Settings: Some refrigerators have multiple crisper drawers with adjustable humidity settings; these control the amount of moisture retained in the drawers. High humidity is suitable for vegetables, while low humidity is ideal for fruits.
· Sort Your Produce: Divide your produce into two categories – fruits and vegetables. This separation helps you utilize the humidity settings effectively.
· High Humidity Drawer (Vegetables): Place leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and other vegetables that wilt quickly in the high humidity drawer. You can also place a damp paper towel in the drawer to maintain moisture.
· Low Humidity Drawer (Fruits): Store fruits like apples, berries, grapes, citrus, and other ethylene-producing fruits in the low humidity drawer.
· Proper Packaging: Keep fruits and vegetables in their original packaging or plastic bags with tiny holes for proper air circulation.
· Keep It Organized: Avoid overcrowding the crisper drawer, which can hinder air circulation and lead to uneven cooling.
· Regular Cleaning: Clean the crisper drawer and its contents to prevent mold and bacterial growth. Remove any spoiled or rotting produce promptly to prevent it from affecting other items.
· Ethylene Management: Ethylene is a natural gas produced by certain fruits that can cause other fruits and vegetables to ripen or spoil quickly. Keep ethylene-producing fruits (like apples, bananas, and tomatoes) away from ethylene-sensitive items (like lettuce and broccoli).
