How to keep food in the refrigerator longer: two of the easiest ways

Unfortunately, all foods have their own shelf life. And while some can be kept in the fridge for a week, others begin to deteriorate after 2-3 days. But even in this situation, there is a way out.

The FoodOboz editorial team has gathered information and will share two simple ways to help keep food in the fridge twice as long.

Method 1 – vacuum zip bags

It's very simple: put the food you need in the bag and quickly close the lock. Be sure to make sure that there is no air inside because even a minimal amount of it causes food to spoil faster.

Method 2 – bag + cocktail straw

If you don't have a ziplock bag at hand, there is an alternative. All you need is a regular plastic bag and a cocktail straw. The way to use it is as follows: put the food in the bag, insert the straw inside, and gather the walls of the bag together. After that, you need to breathe in air through the straw, quickly take it out, and thus completely close the bag.
