Follow these simple tips to maximize freezer storage space.
The goal is to use the space efficiently, yet keep things easily accessible. Group like items together, so you know where everything is. Hord recommends sorting items into categories in the freezer. "An easy tip is to keep likes with likes," she says. "Keep ice cream and ice pops together, breakfast foods together, dinner foods together, and so on.
: For top- and side-compartment freezers, a shelf divider or stacking organizers can be helpful. For bottom-compartment and chest freezers, repurpose open desktop file boxes for slim boxes like frozen pizzas.Storage bags are the secret to freezing foods like soup and stock flat: Rather than taking up space in a large container, the liquid will freeze in an economical flat shape that can be stacked or stored on in its side. Make sure to choose freezer safe material.
Clearly labeling items with the contents and date means not having to rely on memory while looking for safe-to-eat ingredients."Labeling anything, anywhere is certainly helpful," says Hord. "We love peel-and-stick freezer labels that can withstand the cool temperatures and frost in your freezer."
