I'm going to make you smart .... FridgeSmart

We just finished up a big sale on the Tupperware FridgeSmart 4-piece set and WOW did it go over well.  I have come to love these products over the past year since I got my first piece and I can see now that I am not the only one!  The users of these products can sell them for you if you just listen to how they rave about the freshness of their fruits and veggies.

People love to save money and stats show that these containers pay for themselves 4 times in the first year due to the amount of food you save!

I wanted to provide some tips regarding the FridgeSmarts in order to ensure that you get the most out of the product:

FridgeSmart Containers like it naked and dirty


Yep, you heard me right -- naked and dirty.  But what I mean by that is that when you bring your produce home from the market or store, take it out of the bag and put it right in your container.  Don't wash it until you use it.  Excess moisture will cause your produce to rot.

Use the correct venting requirements.


What makes the FridgeSmarts work so well are the vents. (If you are unfamiliar, you open or close one, two, or both vents in the containers based on how much a product "breathes").

Here is the chart that you want to print off and put on your fridge: http://goo.gl/vkvVE

Feel free to combine veggies in one container but be sure that they have the same venting requirements in order to achieve the best result.

Say Cheese!


You will want to keep both vents open when storing cheese in your fridge. You can keep cheese in its original package if you wish but please wash off the outside of the plastic -- do you know that it will touch 9 hands from the factory to your fridge?

If you like stronger (aka stinky) chesses, I would suggest storing them in a separate container than your more milder cheeses like Cheddar and Mozzarella just to be on the safe side and not to offend the people in your house who might not like the stinky cheese

We all know that mold on our cheese can be an issue. There are a couple of ways to combat that with your FridgeSmarts. Placing a cotton swab dipped in vinegar at the back of the container will collect any mold that will grow inside and keeping your cheese fresh. Or, when you clean your containers, rinse them out with a vinegar and water solution. The addition of vinegar into the water reduces the pH within the container, preventing mold from growing. (FYI: This trick works with your fruits! Before placing them in your FridgeSmarts, give them a quick rinse with a bowl full of 10 parts water and 1 part vinegar. This will stop mold from growing on the fruit and spreading to the others in the container.)


I hope that you enjoy these wonderful containers -- FridgeSmart will change the way that you store your fruits and veggies to the point where you forget what your crisper was for!
