Why is the bottom drawer of the refrigerator really needed?

But what should be stored in the lower compartment of the refrigerator?

The drinks. Yes, some of them store beer, champagne and juices in the lower compartment. Very convenient: bottles and cans do not need to be laid horizontally, they fit perfectly upright. In which case, the whole box will come in.

Chilled meat and fish. The term of such storage is no more than 2-3 days. If, as noted above, the food in the “basement” of your refrigerator is covered with ice glaze, this is precisely the circumstance that will benefit the chilled chicken or steaks. Again, if the meat leaks, the drops will not fall on other products, as can happen if you put it on the top shelf of the refrigerator.

By the way, if drops of meat juice (from raw meat) get on salad, cheese, and so on, it is not recommended to eat such products, this could lead to poisoning. It is generally best to keep raw meat and fish away from cooked foods.

Creams, cosmetics and home medicine cabinet. Especially in summer, when the thermometer reads off scale for plus 30. Women know well that lipsticks begin to melt at this temperature, and most tinctures and pills say: store at a temperature no higher than 25˚С. Therefore, the bottom of someone’s refrigerator may be filled with cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

In any case, you need to focus on personal preferences, but best of all – on the instructions for the unit or icons inside the refrigerator, which depict what and where to place in it.
