Kitchen ideas
Take Advantage of Flexible Temperature Zones With the rise of cooling innovations, some refrigerators now have variable temperature zones. “This flexibility can adapt for seasonal changes, special occasions and a growing family,” Rehm says. Some models, for example, let you toggle between pantry, fridge and chill mode in two seperate zones within the fridge unit. A pantry mode (around 54 degrees Fahrenheit, or 12 degrees Celsius), for instance, provides a cool, dark place for food that perishes quickly at room temperature but is too sensitive for normal refrigeration — such as avocados, tomatoes, bananas and bread. Certain freezers also have two zones with multiple temperature modes. You can set one zone (or both) at -1 degree Fahrenheit (or -18 degrees Celsius), for example, to freeze food for one to 12 months. It’s good for items like ice cream that you don’t want frozen solid, Rehm says. Soft freeze (about 16 degrees Fahrenheit, or -9 degrees Celsius) is nice for meat, fish and sliced bread — it reduces defrosting time. A deep-freeze mode (about -13 degrees Fahrenheit, or -25 degrees Celsius) can extend foods’ shelf life by six months in some models, Rehm says.

Drawer pegboard. Pegboard systems, which feature adjustable screw-in dowels to keep plates in place, can be purchased for existing drawers. The dowels can be moved to accommodate the size of whatever you want to store in the drawer. (Depending on your drawer’s construction, the bottom may need to be reinforced for heavy dishes.)
