CLEANING INSIDE THE FRIDGE

First empty and turn off the fridge.

Instead of using strong detergents to clean it, use a soft cloth and warm water with a few drops of white wine vinegar.
The white wine vinegar will disinfect and remove all the bad odors.

Best choice

Our first choice must be always for fresh ingredients .

Our second choice for frozen ingredients.
But if you have to choose between products in cans or glass bottles, choose in glass, for me the taste is better and they are the most environmentally friendly, between these two.
This doesn't mean that you can't use products in cans, I use them too, but I always follow this order.

Be organized

Big empty plastic bottles of water can be cut and lined with old plastic bags for rapidly put the remains near us, when we are preparing a meal.

I already saw many portuguese kitchens after making a meal, with scattered remains all over the bench work (remains of vegetables, egg shells, potatoes peels...).



If we are organized, we will save time and we don't need to do so many trips to the garbage can, even if it is three steps away.By the end of the meal you saved at least 20 steps.






In the countries that have recycling we can have up to three containers for the different types of remains.Take the bags and put the garbage into the right places.
