Pantry organization

Pantry Organization

Organize your pantry with three systems: zones so everything has a home, FIFO rotation so the oldest food gets used first, and labels with dates so nothing gets forgotten. Airtight containers keep staples fresh and visible. This system cuts waste and takes minutes a week to maintain.

Shelf life

Food Shelf Life Chart

Most foods stay safe in the fridge for 1–7 days and in the freezer for 3–12 months, depending on the food. Keep the fridge at 40°F or below, freeze at 0°F or below, and check spoilage signs instead of trusting best-by dates.

Storage methods

Food Storage Methods

The four everyday storage methods are refrigerating (40°F or below), freezing (0°F or below), vacuum sealing (removes air, prevents freezer burn), and dry-goods storage (airtight, cool, dark). Canning gives the longest shelf-stable life but demands strict safety. Match the method to the food.

Tools

Food Storage Tools

Our food storage tools give exact answers fast: the shelf-life chart covers every food we publish, step-by-step guides handle storage methods, and printable checklists keep the pantry organized. Interactive calculators are in development.
