What goes where? Top shelf: anything that doesn’t need cooking (sliced meats, dips, leftovers, deli dishes, tortilla wraps etc), as well as the contents of any unfinished tin can, decanted into a clean, lidded container.

Veg drawers: fruit, veg, leaves, herbs. Lettuce and other greens (washed, thoroughly dried, wrapped in paper towel) go in a spinner, their own container or a veg drawer all to themselves. Store all soft fresh herbs (except basil) like a bouquet, washed and in a glass jar with a little water, well away from the icy back of the fridge.
