Should cheese be in an airtight box? Little domestic pleasures.

[Dilbertian]

Our new fridge is installed and ready to be filled with lovely food. AIBU that this delights me? Not just the idea of being able to feed my family without juggling a coolbox and space in very kind neighbours' fridges, but deciding where to keep what in the new fridge, and buying useful accessories for it.

Old fridge had a dedicated cheese drawer. This one doesn't. I don't want to keep cheeses loose on the shelves, so do I get an open box, or a freestanding but not airtight drawer, or an airtight box such s as a cakebox with a handle on the lid? Ooh, and an Ikea turntable which pulls out of the fridge as you rotate it! And what about these ridiculously deep door shelves, how do Zi organise them so that we don't lose our knock over small bottles?

Oh the deliciousness of these decisions!

If domestic pleasures delight you, what do you think I should do?

And what domestic pleasures delight you?

I keep cheese in ziplock bags (cheddar) or just wrapped in its packaging.

Fridge "accessories"?! What fresh hell is this. Just shove the cheese on the shelf like a normal person.

We put ours in clippy tubs when it's open. I've never heard of a cheese drawer. Was the cheese just out in the open in the drawer?

I’ve got a dedicated clippy box for cheese, my only problem is that it’s usually not big enough to store everything!

An old tupperware box. It was new twenty years ago so it's obviously doing it's job okay.

Lakeland do a cheese box for the fridge

I have 2 Lakeland cheese boxes. One isn't enough

I have two clipppy boxes for cheese- one in use and one in the wash (not organised enough to wash-and-return often enough)

It definitely stops the cheese drying out and getting those hard edges but it gets gungy inside within about two weeks. Might be the sort of cheese we eat (lots of oozy soft ones).

Every fridge accessory you buy you will have to wash every time you clean the fridge so I wouldn't be buying too many.

But, my "big fridge" (5ft single width) replaced a two shelf under counter nightmare 12 years ago and still makes me happy! Enjoy!

Clip lid box.

Mainly because the cheese in the fridge tends to be the most foul smelling variety on the market.
