How to make just about everything in the refrigerator stay fresh longer.
After it is opened just store it upside down. I have tested this with
Milk, Sour Cream, Dip, Applesauce, Jelly, Jam, Pickles, Peppers and more.
If you can't store it upside down “milk for instance” store it on it’s
side just make sure that the liquid covers the cap. When storing anything
upside down try to make sure that the contents sink to the “Top” to
create a “seal”. The reason this works is bacteria needs to “land” on
food and needs air to grow. This method stops both.
