You are definitely filling your fridge wrong: the best places for groceries are named

You may have never thought about the existence of rules for distributing food on the shelves of the refrigerator. But such rules do exist, and they directly affect the shelf life of products.

How to arrange food on the shelves of the refrigerator properly is reported by The Sun. It is based on the experience of nutritionist Christine Bailey.

Top shelf

The top shelf of the refrigerator is designed to store leftovers. It is also a great place to store a variety of drinks. The top shelf should also be used for foods that do not require cooking before consumption.

The middle shelf

This area of the refrigerator is considered to be the coldest and the most stable. That is why you should store eggs, cheese, sour cream, and other dairy and milk products on it. The middle shelf is also used to store ready-to-eat meals.

Bottom shelf

Raw meat and fish should be stored on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. It is customary to defrost them on the same shelf after taking them out of the freezer.
