Boring question alert. Vegetables.

[Serena1977]

Where do you keep your vegetables like potatoes, carrots etc.

We don't have a garage which I suppose a lot of people keep them.

We currently keep them in a cupboard but I'm forever wiping the shelf because there is always bits etc

Thanks

In the veg drawer of fridge if there's room, otherwise in the store room (which is dark and cool). Could you not get a vegetable rack for the garage?

Oh I'm sorry, completely misread your post, doh!

Veg drawer of the fridge

Keep them in a paper sack in the cupboard?

I cant fit them in the veg drawer of the fridge because of all the fruit and salad.

I think I'll get a paper shopping bag. I can only think of primark that have paper bags though!

In a veg rack in the cupboard, and the potatoes in a sack.

Artist in the fridge & I don't but potatoes (low carber)

If I bought potatoes I'd probably use the space under the cabinets on the outside wall as it has air vents (dark & cool)

I have special sacks for potatoes and for onions which contains any mess, and they live on the bottom pantry shelf. Everything else goes in the fridge

In a vegetable rack in the cupboard under the stairs

The phone might be stored down the bloody toilet if it doesn't stop changing what I write!!!!

Carrots in the fridge, there is NOT an Artist in my fridge !!

Artist in the fridge? Would that be Bacon?

I keep mine in a bowl in a cupboard

I keep them in linen vegetable bags in the pantry. An alternative would be storage boxes in your cupboard. I use the Ikea Variera ones in my fridge as it is easier to pull out a box of cheeses or jars than rummaging through the shelf to get to something at the back.

Also have mine in a large, plastic bowl in the cupboard.

I have a dark base unit in a cool NE corner and store spuds, onions, swede etc in there (& carrots, if there’s no space for them in fridge).
Yes, they can be a bit dirty, but shelves wipe clean easily.
Or you could put them inside a plastic crate on the shelf?

I have an Ikea trolley in the corner of my kitchen and I keep potatoes there (in a special bag so they are in the dark), onions too. Other veg in the fridge.

This sort of thing:

Potatoes need to be kept in the dark.

what kind of fruit do you need to keep in fridge?

Everything in fridge, except spuds.

I’ve got a couple of plastic IKEA boxes in my kitchen cupboard to keep veg in. Easy to take out and give a quick clean every so often. I still need to teach DH to not put the fresh veg on top of the older stuff though! 🙁

what kind of fruit do you need to keep in fridge?

We keep apples in there, until there’s room in the fruit bowl. Seems to make them last a bit longer. Sometimes we all go through loads, sometimes not. Then grapes and berries.

Carrots and most veg except onions in the fridge, potatoes in the garage but before we had a garage I just bought enough spuds for the week and kept them in a spud bag in the veg rack in a dark cupboard.

Carrots and salad veg in the fridge (except tomatoes) Soft fruits in the fridge too
Onions and potatoes in a cupboard along with apples and tomatoes

I buy everything frozen except potatoes and onion which go in the fridge.

Don't think potatoes are supposed to be stored in the fridge.
