Has anyone removed their salad drawers?

[wastedtwenties]

I'm quite short and our fridge is tiny so it's really difficult to take stuff out. I end up ignoring it and everything goes off so I've taken them out.

Has anyone else?

My salad drawers have salad and veg in.
I use the next shelf up for salad and veg too!

I have a wee plastic lazy Susan on a shelf for the condiments ... what a difference

I put the cheeses in the drawer

I too am sad

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles both drawers are exactly the same but the right hand side just gets too cold. Anything at the back gets frozen. I'm going to try drinks or condiments on that side and see what happens.

I am totally transferring all jars to salad drawers and salad to a shelf. Fruit and veg can get easily forgotten in this house!

I have a dilemma.

I removed the salad drawers from my old fridge before it went to the tip, because, well you never know when you might want a spare salad drawer. They don't fit the new fridge.

What is a girl to do?

The salad drawers are at the bottom. How can you not reach them? Are you a Borrower?

I need a diagram of your fridge

DH uses it for his chocolate stash!

I have swapped the right hand salad drawer with the cartons of milk. I don't know why I never thought of this before. Thank you OP.

I can reach them but they are awkward to open and it's difficult to get into them. If I was taller it may have helped a bit but the configuration is rubbish

This had never occurred to me but I’m going to join the rebellion and remove the drawers. My fridge door opens against the kitchen door and it can be a pain to get in the drawers properly. Away with them!

I did - definitely don't regret it. Used the space for all the tall things in my fridge.

I’m such a conformist that I have never considered this but it is actually quite clever. Think I will give it a go, thanks OP.

I keep lager in mine

You've got raw chicken next to cooked food at the top of your fridge. WTAF!

Sorry don't want or need your approval for the contents of my fridge so bore off somewhere else.

I have beer in mine 😂

Alright touchy. It wasn't an entirely serious comment.

Hope you don't shit yourself when you get salmonella.

Really as it sounded completely opposite to 'not completely serious'.

Thanks but I am fine with my sealed pies being next to my sealed chicken. Not that it's any of your business. Managed to survive into my 50's without food poisoning but that's for being so worried.

Ok. I can see you're very sensitive. I was genuinely messing around although it isn't great food hygiene or it wasn't last time I looked. Maybe it doesn't matter anymore.

Enjoy your fridge.

Not sensitive in the slightest- am old enough and ugly enough to understand everyone has different opinions and as such yours means nothing to me.

I will enjoy by fridge thanks.

This title is the mumsnet filth I'm here for

@Jenjenn

No but I use one for all the cheese (handy for coralling little packets) and the other for hiding treats. Chocolate in the bottom, bag of salad on top, kids haven't twigged it in years

I keep cheese in mine too.

@Kitkat151

God you must have a boring life🙄

It's in the 'housekeeping' section. If you have no interest why bother coming? Just to be sarky and possible make the op feel bad? Hope whatever you're going through passes x

Mine is the overflow fridge that came with me when I moved back in with parents. Just checked and the yogurts in my salad compartment expired in October. I think I might get rid of the compartment as I clearly can't be trusted to use it.
