In this article, we would like to give you some tips on how to make the best use of your kitchen appliances, thus avoiding unnecessary waste of resources.

Let's start with the refrigerator, and the first rule to avoid waste is to put every food on the right shelf.

On the lower shelf, where the drawers are, you can store fruit and vegetables; on the upper, cooler shelf, it is best to store more easily perishable food such as meat or fish; on the middle shelf, you can store fresh and seasoned formaggi, vegetables that you have cooked or other cooked food, remembering to use airtight tins, preferably glass; on the top shelf, you can store eggs and jarred food such as preserves or pickles.

Use the refrigerator door for ready-made drinks, sauces or condiments.

It is worth remembering that a ecological use of the refrigerator starts with shopping, buying only what is necessary, checking expiry dates and keeping food that is close to expiry date in sight so that we do not forget it and then have to throw it in the rubbish.
