Default Fridge humidity control drawers

I've never really paid much attention to these settings that are on my
newest fridge but I looked them up and if you're like me and never
bothered to pay attention, this guide might be helpful.

Thanks, Cheryl. I have had a fridge with those drawers for several
years (also a meat-storage drawer with a divider for cheese). It works
well. However, I never put cauliflower in one of the drawers because it
takes up too much space. Instead, I have one of those round
cabbage/cauliflower containers, and that works well. I also do not keep
my apples in the fridge, although I would if I wanted to keep them for a
long time. I live alone and only buy a few apples at a time. I keep
them in a bowl on the counter so I can pick one up whenever I want it.
I only put bananas in the fridge if they are approaching the stage where
they will be overly ripe.

There were a few things on the list that I don't refrigerate
either. I noticed potatoes were not on either list so most people
probably don't refrigerate those but I do. I looked it up mostly
because I bought some spinach today for a dish I'll prepare
Wednesday night for thanksgiving.

I have a cloth bag with black lining for spuds that hangs in a
cupboard, does a great job.

Currently I have a whole lot of spring bulbs in one of the drawers,
must check out the dates written on them and see if any are ready to
go

Hi Lucretia, you mean like flower bulbs? My Mom used to do that too.

I have too. I still don't have much luck with bulbs. Something
chowsdown on them.

If you want indoor flowering bulbs, paper whites, hyacinths, narcissi,
they need a chill period to be gloriously spectacular around Xmas
time.

I used to keep some potatoes in the fridge but now I have a proper
potato bin (top section, potatoes, bottom, onions). This works welll
for us and normally keeps them until the bag is done.

I only put bananas in the freezer and that's when they escaped getting
eaten in time (rare here). In the freezer, they get peeled and mashed
then in baggies for making bread. They work better in bread when over
ripe.

We have only one large humidity drawer. You cane select either high or
low but you can't have both at the same time... unfortunately.
At least the above gives me a clue as to what I can safely put in there
- we tend to favour the low humidity setting.

I wish I had them. I don't. When I got the new fridge I had only one
option. Don't know what I will do when this one dies. Might have to locate
it outside of the kitchen as I don't think they make this size any more and
I certainly don't want to go smaller. My MIL had them and they were great!

I think I recall a picture of it? Tall and thin slot right? I have
the opposite problem. I cabinet extension over the fridge spot that is
somewhat shorter than I'd like.

I've been checking on a new fridge and know a fair number of the larger
units are too tall to fit. I can still find one mind you, just have to
be careful so my selection is a little limited.

My current fridge was bought about 1998 (left with the renters when I
was in Japan and has some damage but working still).

Relocating your fridge in another room isn't so nice. I'm sure you can
find one that will fit but if not it might be worth taking out a few
inches of cabinet/counter space. Since you evidently have such a tiny
kitchen (and still pics are requested so we can see what you are
talking about). Also, since you have such a small kitchen, you should
never think about buying some nifty bells&whistles fridge.

I have a small one in my small kitchen and it's fine. I've adjusted to
the size.
The exterior size of mine is:
- 62" tall
- 28" wide
- 28" deep + an inch or two for the back coils

My top freezer interior space is:
- 23" wide
- 16" tall
- 16" deep (plus door-shelf space)

It's small but I have adjusted to it fine. Good for me as a single but
I'm sure it wouldn't be so good for a family.

My new one fits in the width and hight of the space the old one
was in but the depth of it makes it stick out a little further
than the cabinets. I've gotten used to it and it doesn't look too
bad.

Dec. 14, 1999 + Ressam arrested near Seattle

Ressam says that on the morning of Dec. 14, he called Meskini and told
him he would be in Seattle that evening. That afternoon, he took a ferry
from Victoria, B.C., to Port Angeles, Wash., with more than 100 pounds
of explosives stashed in the wheelbed of the trunk of his rental car.
His accomplice, Dahoumane, did not travel with him.

At Victoria, U.S. immigration pre-clearance agents were mildly
suspicious of Ressam. They made him open his trunk, but saw nothing. He
presented his fake Canadian passport, and the computer check turned up
no previous convictions or warrants in the name of Benni Noris. Ressam
drove his rental car, with its concealed bomb, onto the ferry heading
for Washington state. Upon his arrival at Port Angeles, a U.S. customs
agent became suspicious of his hesitant answers to her questions, and
she asked for identification. Agents began searching the car. As they
discovered the explosive materials -- which they at first took to be
drugs -- in the trunk of the car, Ressam tried to run away. He was
caught and arrested.

Aftermath and Sept. 11, 2001

After Ressam's arrest was televised, an urgent call to Meskini came from
Haouari in Montreal. Haouari was recorded telling Meskini to change his
phone number, beeper, and cell phone and to leave immediately. Police
watched as Meskini ripped up airline receipts and bank machine slips and
threw them into a nearby dumpster. The FBI retrieved the evidence, and
both men were arrested hours later. Meskini entered into a plea
agreement in which he admitted conspiring with Ressam and testified
against him at trial. Haouari was extradited to the U.S. from Canada and
put on trial in New York.

On April 6, 2001, after a four-week trial in U.S. District Court in Los
Angeles, Ressam was convicted of nine counts, including conspiracy to
commit an international terrorist act, explosives smuggling, and lying
to customs officials. Facing up to 130 years in prison, Ressam agreed to
cooperate with prosecutors, providing information about his activities
and those of his terrorist network. As part of the agreement, he
testified against Haouari at trial. His sentencing has been postponed
until February 2002. Also on April 6, Ressam was convicted in absentia
in France and sentenced to five years for conspiring to commit terrorist
acts there.

Abdelmajid Dahoumane escaped to Afghanistan. The U.S. State Department
issued a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his
arrest and conviction. He was later caught by Algerian security forces
and convicted on terrorism-related charges there.

Just days after the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001,
investigators interrogated Ressam at the federal detention center near
Seattle. They reportedly showed him pictures of the 19 hijackers. He
said he knew none of them but did provide other names of people in
so-called "sleeper cells" in North America. Ressam has also added
significant new information about Al Qaeda's interest in chemical and
biological weapons.

U.S. and Canada foil Al Qaeda terrorist plot to derail New York to
Toronto passenger train, two suspects arrested
The suspects, who had planned the attacks more than a year, appear
unrelated to the Boston Marathon bombers.

Two suspected Al Qaeda terrorists were busted Monday in Canada before
they could wreak havoc on the rails by blowing up a New York-to-Toronto
passenger train.

Since both drawers have independent controls I figured there must
be a reason and just finally looked it up. Lol
