What goes here (in my fridge)?

So. My fridge declutter and clean has got a bit out of control and I’ve dismantled the fucker and cleaned it thoroughly.

But what goes in these stupid little holes/shelves? They seem completely useless.

Sauce bottles?! Condiments..

TomatoSandwiches · 21/02/2025 17:58

Small jars of condiments?
Babybels?
Little pots of wee you have to collect the night before a doctors appointment.
Hard boiled eggs.
Nail varnish.
Half a lemon wrapped in clingfilm.

In the top ones with the railings I can pop in sauce but the square inserts are too small for the average jar

Jars of mustard, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, urine sample for the Dr that someone forgot.

They really do look totally pointless! The bottom lip of them is really small, so can't really hold sauces or anything as they would likely topple over. Odd shape so probably won't fit storage containers.. maybe cheese?

Are people refrigerating their wee?

MindfulAndDemure · 21/02/2025 18:03

Actually, would small storage containers fit? Then you could store Carrot sticks, things like the mini cheese for lunchboxes, etc

SantaToSSD · 21/02/2025 18:04

Did you inherit the fridge? It seems odd to me that you might have bought an appliance if it contained such apparently useless features.

Merryoldgoat · 21/02/2025 18:05

Hmmmm. Smaller jars go in but it feels silly as they are separated - I like a jar ‘area’. Won’t fit a taller jar of, say, jalapeños.

I have a nice cheese and meat drawer.

It’s nice

No, but I bought it 13 years ago online when 8 months pregnant and didn’t look closely at the internal areas

I had to refrigerate a 5 gallon container of urine last month for 48hrs, so some of us do.

Er what now?

ZookeeperSE · 21/02/2025 18:09

They look like boxes at the theatre, but not the good, posh, expensive kind. The weirdly placed ones with a restricted view that are usually left empty unless it’s a sell out show. The last time I went to the theatre that had them, they’d used them to put sound system speakers in. Maybe you could do that? Have a fridge disco that starts up every time you open the door?

TomatoSandwiches · 21/02/2025 18:11

Maybe nothing is supposed to go there, perhaps it's designed to help keep the cold air circulating if the fridge is packed?

You're forgiven. That cheese drawer looks fantastic. My cheese lives in little shelves and lidded shelves in my fridge door and if you open the door too briskly, they all fall out. I will be avoiding such a stupid arrangement (and looking out for something like your cheese drawer) when I buy my next fridge, if I ever get to have a new one (21 years old and still going strong).

It’s actually very useful - highly recommend.

I think it might be because there’s a stupid water tank (or mould generator) that takes up space. I will get a plumbed in one next time.

Goodness........how long did it take to fill?

TomatoSandwiches · 21/02/2025 18:30

@Miaowzabella I only filled it to 4 gallons and it took 24hrs, was for an Endocrinology problem.
Sorry op, ignore my wee gatecrash! 😬

Yes.
Never just flush it.
Government traces DNA, if you piddle in a milk carton or small jar etc, pop it in the fridge for a fortnight, then pour it down the kitchen sink, the government can't infect your bum hole with 7g technology and COVID28.37 - The Covidest Covid.
