An untidy fridge has a lot of drawbacks: untraceable products, expiration dates passed, spoiled food… However, it only takes a few tips and a little discipline to keep your fridge clean and tidy, which guarantees perfect hygiene and saves time every day!

All it takes is a few tips and a little discipline to keep your fridge clean and tidy! Here are our tips for optimizing your fridge.

• Know your fridge

There are different models of refrigerators:

• Ventilated or stirred refrigerators: the cold is propelled evenly throughout the fridge. This means that the temperature is the same throughout the fridge. 
• Static refrigerators: the temperature is different in each zone. Look at your instructions to see which zone is the coldest.

Before putting away your refrigerator, it might be a good idea to know where to store a particular food according to its preservation mode!

• Store your food in the right place

Depending on the type of food, you should not store it in the same place because it needs to be kept at different temperatures.

• Raw meats, fish, shellfish, raw milk cheeses, opened fresh products and products that you defrost should be placed in the coldest area, between 0 and 3°C.
• Milk desserts, dairy products, fresh cheeses, homemade or industrial ready meals and pastries should be kept on the top shelves where the temperature is between 4 and 6°C.
• Fruits and vegetables as well as hard cheeses or cheeses that are in the process of maturing can be stored in the vegetable bin, which is usually around 7-8°C.
• Fresh eggs, butter, jams, drinks, condiments can be placed in the door of the appliance where the temperature is 6-8°C.

Note:

Put only those foods that need to be in the refrigerator for proper storage. Eggs, jams, unopened milk do not need to be kept in the refrigerator.

•  Do not overload your refrigerator

Indeed, if you overload your refrigerator, the cold will not be able to pass correctly, it will not be effective, so the conservation of food will be bad. It is also important to avoid overloading your refrigerator, to avoid food being too close together and in contact with each other. Indeed, if the food is all touching each other, the contamination of food will be easier and the risk that food is contaminated becomes even higher.

• The refrigerator and the food must be clean

In order to keep food longer, we suggest that you wash fruits and vegetables before putting them in the refrigerator.

What is even better and easier when preparing food is to peel and cut up the vegetables. Then store them in storage boxes so they will keep longer in the refrigerator.

  Storing in storage boxes

For a tidier, more functional fridge, store your food in storage boxes. A box reserved for meat, a box for condiments, a box for cheese and other boxes for leftovers, this will allow you to know what you have left just by opening the fridge: you will save time and course to save on your budget.

Quick tip:Label your boxes with the dates your products were opened and their use-by dates. When you put the box away, remember to put the label towards you so that when you open the fridge you can see each label.

• Save your leftovers

Don’t waste your leftovers!

For a better organization of the fridge and to avoid that the dish turns by putting directly the pan in the fridge, put your leftovers in conservation boxes such as our Easy Box or our Keep’n Box, they will allow you to optimize the storage of your fridge while preserving the freshness of food.

If you want to take the meal the next day or in the week, to go to work then, pour your dish directly into our Black Box for example or Pure Box Active. Our storage boxes are designed to make your daily life easier. Your culinary creations go from the freezer to the microwave without removing the lid thanks to their valve, thus protecting from possible projections.

There are no more secrets to optimize your fridge and preserve your food as long as possible. Now it’s up to you to find the fridge organization that suits you!

Storage in a kitchen is always a complicated thing. To help you find your way around, why not adopt bulk jars? Available in a variety of materials, sizes and colours, these practical and ecological items will do you a lot of good.

The value of glass jars in the kitchen

In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in airtight glass jars in the home. They are very useful storage items in a zero waste kitchen. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including the long-term storage and preservation of bulk foods.

The lids are designed to provide an ideal seal to prevent air from seeping in and the products inside from spoiling or being attacked by food moths. For added convenience, these clear jars have a rim on the lid that allows them to be easily stacked to save space on a shelf or in a cupboard.

For keeping spices or a variety of foodstuffs safe, depending on your tastes, these everyday objects are very useful. You can use them to get rid of unnecessary plastic or cardboard packaging to store rice, wheat, lentils, flour or sugar.

These containers are particularly interesting if you make a habit of shopping in bulk in a grocery shop or shop. Glass is a healthy and hygienic material that is ideal for storing food and remains clean even after repeated washing.

Products are preserved without transferring odours or taste, and can be easily cleaned under water. If necessary, they can be sterilised by boiling them for about 15 minutes. The transparency of a jar is also a good way of assessing the quantities still available.

Glass jars for bulk storage are very practical for preserving your foodstuffs, but also for decorating a kitchen by adding a certain aesthetic touch. These durable containers can be used in other rooms of the house, holding dried fruit, sweets or aperitif mixes.

Another advantage of bulk or storage jars is that they come in a variety of sizes to suit all your needs. The largest items, such as the 2 litre, can even hold spaghetti.

Well choosing your bulk jars

Glass jars are a great help in dealing with all the storage needs in the kitchen. These objects come in a wide variety of models. Four large sizes are available: 0,5 L, 0,75 L, 1 L, 1,5 L et 2 L.

Luminarc glass is a very strong, high quality material that guarantees a long life. Depending on the item, you can find the classic airtight lid, available in various materials for easy storage, or a wooden stopper that keeps spices, cereals and starches safe from moisture.

An airtight jar is an excellent way to ensure that your products will last. Glass is a healthy and environmentally friendly product that is suitable for use in contact with your foodstuffs.

For your shopping, you can use the bulk bags provided and then fill the jars of your choice when you get home. The jars can be stored for a long time, but they can break if there is an accident. They can then be recycled, which is another ecological advantage.

Tips on how to better store your food 

The zero waste trend started as a marginal trend but has become a common one. In order to succeed, it is essential to have your own containers for bulk shopping in stores that offer this option. Unnecessary packaging accounts for almost 40% of the weight of our bins, so it is very interesting to do without it to protect the environment. To find out where to shop in this way, online information and consumer reviews can help.

A jar can easily be bought individually or in sets. Depending on your taste, you can choose transparent, opaque or coloured containers. They can also be put in the dishwasher and kept in the freezer. For the storage of food products, it is best to choose a place protected from heat and light. For healthy food, products without additives or preservatives should be chosen as a priority.

This type of accessory is very versatile and can be used in the bathroom to hold shampoo. It is also a beautiful and original decorative object. If you are going to use your jars frequently, you can choose items made of materials known for their resistance. In this way, you will greatly reduce the risk of breakage in the event of a fall.

Finally, it can be useful to label your jars, indicating the nature of the product being stored, the date and place of purchase, and even cooking tips to save time on a daily basis. This will ensure that your kitchen is tidy and your products are easily accessible.

Make the most of your Sunday by organising a delicious, healthy and environmentally friendly meal for couples, families and friends. Here are 10 tips for a healthy and ecological picnic. It’s up to you to pick the best ideas!

1. Find the perfect place for a healthy and ecological picnic

If you don’t mind getting sand on your plate, you can have a picnic on the beach. To avoid the crowds, choose the mountains. To get back to your roots, choose a picnic in the forest. To find some peace and quiet, choose the countryside.

You can also have a cheap picnic by sitting in the middle of your garden or going to a secret corner of your village. In fact, no matter where you choose to go, the main thing is to have fun with family and friends.

2. Choose reusable containers

Luminarc’s mobile storage boxes can be taken anywhere. Their durable and ecological aspect will seduce you, unlike single-use plastic. Lightweight, they can be slipped into a backpack for your hikes in the mountains. There are also small, practical isothermal bags for carrying your drinks.

For a slightly more glamorous look, you can opt for the picnic basket. Full of charm, you can put your reusable glass boxes, light crockery and healthy, gourmet dishes in it. Salad bowl, cutlery, plates, tablecloths, but also cold meats, hard-boiled eggs, banana cakes… Everything will be well installed!

3. Prepare a healthy and tasty menu

Take advantage of this family time to prepare delicious recipes with healthy and tasty ingredients. A few club sandwiches, with eggs, chicken and tomatoes, are perfect for a hike. Think about convenience by choosing individual portions or a single dish to take away in a large recyclable glass bowl.

For a gourmet picnic, many dishes will please you: gazpacho, mimosa eggs, cold meats, brochettes, raw vegetables with vinaigrette, pasta salad, cheese, bread… And for dessert, strawberries, muffins or gourmet cakes, the choice is yours. Don’t forget to thank the cooks.

4. Think about transporting your drinks

While a simple water bottle can be provided for a quick picnic, more elaborate drinks can be prepared to satisfy. In the middle of summer, a delicious homemade lemonade in a nice reusable glass pitcher will be welcome.

To keep all your drinks cool, put them in a cooler. For spring evenings, you can pack a hot drink in a simple thermos. A delicious herbal tea will do you a world of good.

5. Make sure you have everything you need for comfort

To make yourself comfortable, consider taking a nice tablecloth or a simple blanket. If your picnic is not too far from the car park, you can afford to use other accessories.

If the sun is shining, you can take out the parasol to create a shady spot for your snack. You can bring a few cushions or you can take a camping table with a few folding chairs. It’s up to you to choose the combination that suits you best.

6. Don’t forget the essential accessories

In order not to forget anything, make a list of the necessary accessories to take with you. If you are taking a bottle of wine, it is best to take a corkscrew. A bottle opener and a can opener will be indispensable for others. A Swiss Army knife can be the solution to all your problems.

Have garbage bags available to put all your rubbish in. Ice packs can keep your food fresh. And a camera will allow you to capture the best moments with your family…

7. Plan some outdoor activities

In a picnic, the lunch is not the only thing to consider. It is nice to eat in the middle of nature. But it is also a good way to enjoy the outdoors.

If you are picnicking with children, take along some outdoor games such as a ball, a Frisbee, a wooden bowling alley or bocce balls. For the beach, think bucket and spade and for you, a nice book to read.

8. Don’t skimp on decorative elements

For a romantic picnic, what could be nicer than a country-style decoration? Have a few candles, pretty cloth napkins, a wooden serving dish, pretty dishes with reusable plates and pretty glasses with elegant curves.

Leave the plastic cups and single-use cutlery behind. It’s time to think about the planet by choosing reusable tableware. And when it comes to serving wine, there’s nothing better than a quality stemmed glass, even for picnics.

9. Remember to protect yourself

Depending on where you are going, you will need several items to protect yourself. If you are going on a picnic in the mountains or by the sea, remember to take sun cream. A pair of sunglasses, a cap or a hat may also be essential.

Don’t forget to take mosquito repellent, citronella candle or lavender essential oil with you to repel the unwanted. Use natural products and Mother Nature will thank you.

10. Take a first aid kit with you

To avoid any accidents, remember to bring a first aid kit. Plasters, gauze pads, stretchy bandages, painkillers, anti-diarrhoea medication and eye drops can be provided. A little soap and water may also be useful.

You may want to bring a survival blanket, a pair of vinyl gloves, splinter and tick forceps, a pair of scissors and two or three safety pins to be fully prepared.
