Let’s start unwasting
Your fridge and freezer are the real heroes of your kitchen! Level up your storage game to keep food fresher for longer. Portioning leftovers into easy-to-grab containers makes them so much more convenient. You’ll save time and money by keeping your fresh food well-organised – ready in the fridge for tomorrow or the freezer for later.
Tip 01
Master your fridge temp
Make sure your fridge is set between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius. This sweet spot can extend the life of your food by up to three days. It’s like a magical time machine for your hard-earned food!
Tip 02
The freezer is your friend
A well labelled and stacked freezer means no more mystery meats hiding in the back or frozen meals flying from the front. There’s an art to organising your freezer – check out our tips, and you’ll be sorted in no time
Tip 03
Containers – the ultimate sidekick
We’ve all been guilty of throwing something on a plate in the fridge only to find it there again three days later, looking a bit lonely. Store your food in airtight containers to keep it fresh for longer. Find out how to choose the best containers for you to Unwaste.
Tip 04
Love those labels
Dating and labelling food means you’ll avoid playing “What’s this?” whenever you open the fridge or freezer. Having a trusty texta and some masking tape or labels within reach of the fridge is one of the easiest ways to start unwasting.
Tip 05
Unwaste your dough
Bread, rolls and loaves are some of the most wasted food items going. But fear not, they’re easily frozen and great to have on hand if you’re running low and face a bread emergency.
Tip 06
Let your fruit chill
We all love a beautiful looking bowl of fruit, but believe it or not, it’s best stored in the fridge. You’ll be amazed how much longer fruit stays fresh in the fridge – it’s a game changer. Bananas, on the other hand, are a different story.
Tip 07
Avoid banana drama
Bananas are the divas of the fruit world – they like their space. Keep them away from other fruits to avoid speeding up the ripening of the other fruits. If they get too spotty, peel and freeze them for smoothies or banana bread!
Tip 08
Unwashed potatoes are happy potatoes
Want longer-lasting potatoes? Buy them unwashed. Yeah, they need a scrub, but Great Unwasters don’t mind! Store them in a cool, dark place, and they’ll stay fresh and sprout-free for longer.
