The festive season is a time for family, feasting, and food overload. But as much as we love the holidays, our fridges often bear the brunt of the aftermath. From precariously stacked containers to questionable leftovers, the chaos can lead to broken shelves, overworked compressors, and spoiled food (thanks to loadshedding, naturally).
Don’t worry. After much deliberation, we’ve decided to help you out with a bit of advice and a link to our royal insurance solution.
Let’s dive into how you can protect your fridge and how the king ensures peace of mind.
1. Pre-holiday fridge cleanse
Before you stock up on festive goodies, give your fridge a good clean-out. Toss expired sauces, mystery Tupperware, and anything you wouldn’t serve to your worst enemy. Not only will this free up space, but it also reduces the risk of your fridge overloading or cooling unevenly.
2. Stack with care
Avoid the game of leftover Tetris by using stackable, airtight containers. Square or rectangular ones work best as they maximise space. Plus, airtight containers keep food fresher for longer, reducing waste. You should probably also chat to your family. Your loved 1s. The main culprits of why your fridge is looking so jammed up. Explain that there’s a right way and there’s a do-this-and-die way. They’ll get with the programme pretty quickly.
3. Label everything
There’s nothing worse than playing ‘guess the mystery meal’ in January. Label your containers with what’s inside and the date they were made. And if you’re thinking, ‘Why bother? It’s just leftovers,’ remember: Spoiled food = wasted money. And the last thing any of us can afford is to waste money in January.
4. Don’t overload it
You might not know this, but your fridge works best when air can circulate freely. When you overload it, the vents get blocked, and this causes uneven cooling and spoiled food. Of course, if you’ve got the king’s home contents insurance, we’ll be able to swoop in like the knights in shining armour that we are to help you. Ehem, so make sure you’ve got the right cover before the festive season ends.
5. The power outage plan
Keep a stash of ice packs in the freezer to maintain cool temperatures during outages. But if the worst happens and your food spoils because of an unexpected power surge or blackouts, King Price’s home contents insurance has you covered.
Seriously, it does.
