How To Solve Common Freezer Problems

You love your freezer.

But most of the time you don’t know what’s in it, how long you’ve had it or if you need to throw something out.

How do you solve these storage and food waste issues?

With these easy tips!

Fill at least one half of your freezer to avoid frost.

Choose one day a month to check expiration dates, look for freezer burn and sort through everything in your freezer.

Label your food before freezing it. Using masking tape and a pen, write a short note about what type of food it is, the expiration date and any other pertinent information.

Yes, you can freeze liquids and sauces.  Let the food freeze flat in a freezer bag. Then stand up the frozen bags like books on a shelf so they won’t slip or fall.

Freezers are great inventions. They save space and prolong the longevity of our food. They let us whip out a prepared meal at a moment’s notice or store those temptingly delicious cookies for another day.

Now that you know how to correctly utilize your freezer, the possibilities are endless!

Spring Cleaning For Your Kitchen

We’re ready to jump into spring and leave winter in the rear view mirror. Say goodbye to heavy jackets, woolly sweaters and snow boots...and hello to sunshine, gardening and spring cleaning.

How about you?

Depending on the state of your house, you may not like spring cleaning.

But for the tried and true spring cleaners out there, do you ever empty your fridge?

Unfortunately, refrigerators are often left out of the spring cleaning process. That leads to the inevitable discovery of an unrecognizable food from so long ago you can’t read the expiration date anymore.

This year, we invite you to take spring cleaning one step further. If your refrigerator isn’t bringing you joy (thank you, Marie Kondo!), it may be time for a new one. Purge your old fridge and find something which brings you — and your kitchen — joy.

We are offering a Whirlpool refrigerator which is simple, clean and fulfills your storage needs. The four door bins and multiple shelves provide ample storage, with even more space in the top freezer.

Embrace the spring cleaning season and the joy it will bring you, your home and family.
