Nothing
is more wasteful than food that hasn't been eaten and allowed to go
bad. It's not only a waste of money, but also a waste of good food that
in other parts of the world would be worth more than gold. So, here are
some great tips to help you keep your foods fresh and tasty that much
longer.
For my other blogs, I'm giving the links below, feel free to view and comment too.
1. Apply a little butter to the cut side of a cheese wedge to make sure it doesn't dry out.
2. Store potatoes with a few apples - this will stop them from sprouting.
3. As for mushrooms, you should store them in a paper bag, not a plastic one, to keep them fresh.
4. If you keep milk in the fridge door, it will go bad sooner than if you had put it in the middle of the fridge.
5. Wrap lettuce in tin foil to keep it fresh and crisp for much longer.
6. Use, or rather, re-use bottles to close up your plastic bags.
7.
Rinse strawberries in a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 10 parts water.
Drain, rinse and put in the fridge for strawberries that will last for 2
weeks longer. Make sure you keep the mixture diluted so you don't taste
the vinegar.
8. Store eggs on the middle shelf of the refrigerator to make them last 3-4 weeks longer than their date of expiration.
9. To revive old bread, rub an ice cube on it and then bake it for 12 minutes.
10. If you cook corn kernels in a bowl topped with a plate, it will reduce the number of um-popped kernels.
11. Tomatoes last longer when stored at room temperature rather than in the fridge.
12. Cheese should be kept in the warmest part of the fridge, such as the vegetable or cheese drawer.
13. Keep older foods in the front of the fridge so you don't miss out on their expiration date.
14.
Carefully wrap the crown of a batch of bananas with cling film to block
the air and extend their shelf life for 3-5 days more.
15. If you store onions in tights, they'll last up to 8 months longer.
16. If
your fridge smells - clean it immediately. It means that something is
rotting in your fridge, and if it stays there, it will quickly spread to
your new food. If the smell is strong, use disinfectant.
17. For fresh green chilies to last long, remove its stem and store in vegetable bags.
18. For coriander leaves to last long remove the roots and stem that are bad, then store in the container that has holes all around, including the lid. In case, the leaves are wet, then spread it out on a cloth or paper, till all the moisture is gone, then store.
