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.

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.

I also have a mould maker tank it's a pain in the arse and rarely gets used.
On each side of mine I have more sensible shelves, there is 4 the lowere to will only hold short jars the top two will hold glass pint milk bottles.
I have no idea what you should put in yours !

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

No problem at all - funnily enough I nearly had to do one a while back!

I’m thinking lemons and limes for drinks - one in each…

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

Hahaha I had two 5ltr gallon bottles once!! I made my husband take them in to the clinic as I felt weirdly embarrassed 🤣 I'd didn't refrigerate them though...

Cadbury crème eggs

I vote for this as well!

TemporaryPosition · 21/02/2025 18:35

That's the strangest interior of a fridge door I've encountered. Especially seeing it with the jars to confirm the scale of it. How odd!

SlinkySprings · 21/02/2025 18:36

Do they ask you to refrigerate it? I've had to take wee samples (albeit not so large) and it's never crossed my mind to put it in the fridge first...

I did the two last year and didn't have to refrigerate because they come with acid preservatives in them, just kept them outside as it was cool, was definitely embarrassing handing them over at reception though, agreed!

Anyway, I vote for some army men figures in each compartment to defend your lovely cheese and meats draw op.

Cadbury crème eggs

Winner

Merryoldgoat · 21/02/2025 18:43

Fridge clean and devoid of old veg and out of date yoghurts and dressing.

Freezer now. I’m honestly living the dream.

Cadbury crème eggs

Don't know how I've never realised this but I always thought they were Cadbury cream eggs. Seems so wrong now I've written it down.

World rocked.

But yes. Those shelves are perfect for cream crème eggs

Merryoldgoat · 21/02/2025 18:49

Ffs. I’m gonna need a fucking crème egg now. I’ll need to send my DH out…

Actually you need 5. One to eat and one to pop in each of the 4 random fridge holes!

MotherofPearl · 21/02/2025 18:58

I'm quite envious OP. Your fridge looks so lovely and clean and tidy.

I opened a half used jar of harissa paste from the depths of my fridge the other day. It was covered in mould. 🤢 God knows how long it must have been there for.

I can't believe you're keeping cheese in your meat drawer. So wrong.

They come in a box of 6 don’t them? They’re basic a breakfast food, right?

Really? I use it like a deli so it’s cheese and processed meats. I’m low carb so it’s heavily used.

I’m looking at two mouldy cucumbers, a disintegrating red pepper, mouldy olives and an out of date yoghurts plus separated salad dressing.

I only cleaned it so thoroughly because it was a state.

Are people refrigerating their wee?

Hopefully not regularly, but when you're collecting it for the doctor you're supposed to refrigerate it.
