Tips and helpful hints:
Keeping Food Fresh:
Lettuce And Celery:
* Lettuce and celery will keep longer if you store them in the refrigerator in paper bags instead of cellophane ones. Do not remove the outside leaves of either until ready to use.
* Lettuce won't rust as quickly if you place a paper towel or napkin in the storage container.
* Line the bottom of the vegetable compartments with paper toweling. This absorbs the excess moisture and keeps all fruits and vegetables fresher for a longer period of time.
Sprouting Onions:
* To keep dry onions from sprouting and becoming soft, wrap individually in foil. They will stay firm for some time.
