Many refrigerator brands (such as Samsung refrigerators and whirlpool refrigerators) include shelves that you can use for additional storing space. However, not many people are using these spaces for their right function.
You may be storing your items like juice and milk on the shelves for easy access, but these are not ideal storing conditions.
You need to know that shelves are usually warmer than the inside of your refrigerator, so you may get your things ruined when you put them in there. Instead, you can store things like water, condiments and other stuff that don’t require being as cold.
Freezer

Many people do not use their deep freezers enough, while it is a great place to store leftover food. Freezer meals can stay fresh for longer times and you can heat them days after storing them, and they will still be edible.
When you store leftovers in your freezer it means that you are cutting down on your food waste and therefore saving more dollars. You can also use your freezer to expand the expiration date of many products that usually get ruined within short periods of time.

It is certainly a joy to enjoy a microwave baked potato or a microwave sweet potato. However, in order to use your microwave oven in the most proper manner, you should be aware of the wattage of your model.
For instance, despite being from the same brand, two Samsung microwaves may not have the same wattage. The latter refers to the amount of power that your microwave produces, which is one of the key factors in determining how quickly food cooks.
Some microwave food labels recommend a certain cooking time based on your wattage, so it is important to know that before starting the cooking process.
