I’m guilty of throwing fruits and vegetables into those deep ambiguous drawers in my fridge without giving it much thought. I take the “get it where it fits” approach: I cram my produce into every available crevice.

This is fine until I find some mushy rotten produce and I probably need to give the drawer a thorough cleaning. However I recently realized that this suggests that I may not have been using the crisper drawers properly. Understanding how these drawers (usually two or three) work is key to keeping your fresh fruits and veggies fresh for as long as possible.
