Listen to Chef G get maybe just a little punchy while cleaning the fridge.
Keeping your fridge stock up-to-date and organized is something that gets away from everyone at one point or another, but a clean fridge will make your hobby home cooking so much easier and more pleasant.
Chef G floats a bold philosophy on food waste in a less-than-perfect wording, so let’s put it down here in more detail:
Food can be wasted before it is thrown out. Strive to use everything you have before it goes bad; but when you just know that tomato paste is past its prime, understand that it is not the act of putting it in the garbage that wastes it. A clean fridge beats a guilty fridge.
Other tips:
Start your work with an empty sink, trashcan, and dishwasher.
Approach the fridge with a “must-do” attitude.
Make the event comfortable, whatever that means to you. Pull up a chair, put on a movie, wear gloves or sunglasses, or call a friend.
Screw top containers are the GOAT for keeping food fresher, longer.
