12. Store green onions in jar
Simply store green onions upside down in a jar with water. You can leave this jar on your kitchen counter. This method will triple the lifespan of your green onions. The green onions will keep growing, so simply snip off when you need to use them.
13. Keep celery fresh with aluminum foil
Don’t store celery in the plastic bag it came from. Instead, wrap the entire celery head tightly with aluminum foil before storing in fridge. This will allow the celery to stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
14. Keep bread fresh in the microwave
If you don’t have a bread box, don’t worry. Store bread in a sealed Ziploc bag and store in the microwave instead. Plus, this method requires no kitchen counter space!
15. Store cottage cheese and sour cream upside down
Be sure to store source cream and cottage cheese containers upside down in the fridge. This process creates a vacuum, making it harder for bacteria to grow.
16. Wrap banana stems
Keep bananas fresh for longer by wrapping the stems. This process slow down the release of ethylene gas.
17. Freeze milk
Milk lasts longer when frozen. Alternatively, if you are storing milk in your fridge, keep it in the main section of the fridge rather than the door as it’s colder there.Kitchen remodeling
18. Store potatoes with apples
Avoid storing potatoes with onions as it will make them last less long. Instead, store potatoes with apples to prevent early sprouting. This is because apples give off ethlylene gas. For long term storage of 2-3 months, be sure to keep potatoes in a cool, dark place.
