No more food in the trashcan

Use smart Hisense cooling features for sustainable storage

We have all been there – digging through the fridge only to find wilted lettuce, expired cottage cheese or a sad, half brown, half shrivelled lemon hiding all the way in the back. Wasting food feels bad, not just because of the money spent, but because of the unnecessary waste it creates.

The good news? A few simple habits can make a huge difference in how long your groceries last. Read along if you want to learn how to save money, reduce waste and make meal planning easier. P. S. having the right fridge, like the Hisense large capacity RB5P410SSFC fridge freezer, can take your refrigerated storage game to the next level.

Find space for every item

Always make sure you can see everything that is in your fridge. A great trick is to have a fridge stocking strategy. Always know where dairy, meats, veggies or drinks go. This way you will instantly know what is in stock, with just a quick glance. The Hisense RB5P410SSFC fridge freezer is a large capacity fridge, bringing you bigger storage capacity while taking up the same space as a standard 60 cm fridge. That is a massive 413 L capacity to store everything neatly - no more overcrowding and shoving items anywhere they fit.

And with a 60 cm counter-depth design, the fridge can fit into almost any kitchen space without compromising style or functionality. With just a 2.5 mm gap on both sides and 5 mm on the top, the improved hinge design allows for easy door opening of over 105°, giving you full access to the drawers.

Use clear containers and special drawers, trays and shelves in the fridge to help keeping everything organized. Also, before heading to the grocery store, take one more look inside your fridge to avoid buying something you already have. Fridge management becomes even easier with the ConnectLife app - you can control and adjust the fridge’s temperature from anywhere, making sure your food stays fresh at all times.

Slightly lower the temperature

Did you know that meats, seafood and produce last longer when kept just a little cooler? The 0 °C Fresh Box works as a separate zone in the Hisense refrigerators to perfectly preserve the most perishable items for longer. We did our own tests – beef, veggies and tuna stayed perfectly fresh for seven days, while more sturdy fruit, like apples, kept perfect freshness for a whopping 40 days. You will never be in a hurry to use everything you bought in a few days, meaning you can stock up and visit the store less often.

Ensure a perfect environment

A steady, cool environment helps prevent food from going bad too soon. Uneven cooling and warm spots in the fridge can cause some foods to spoil faster, so maintaining consistent air circulation and preventing frost build-up does magic for longer storage times. Hisense’s Metal Tech Cooling with a stainless-steel back wall ensures even distribution of cool air with almost no temperature fluctuations that can lead to food spoiling faster.

No matter how meticulously you try, even in the most perfect conditions, food can rot. Maybe it is damaged, or you stored it dirty from the store. Always check for spoiled food in your fridge and remove immediately, as mould and other gnarly threats to freshness can spread. Unless you have a Hisense RB5P410SSFC fridge freezer with Antibacterial Drawer that prevents bacteria and fungi growth, keeping food perfectly safe.

Keep an eye on humidity

Ever wondered why some veggies last for weeks while others wilt in days? The secret is humidity control. Leafy greens need high humidity to stay crisp, while things like peppers and avocados do better in lower humidity. The Moisture Fresh Crisper in the Hisense RB5P410SSFC fridge freezer lets you adjust the humidity level based on what you’re storing, helping produce stay fresh without wilting or losing their nutrients.

Deep freeze for later

Freezing is one of the best ways to cut down on waste, as you can store your favourite fresh food or even meal-prepped dishes for a longer time. But how you freeze matters! Instead of just popping everything in the freezer, you should flash freeze at ultra-low temperatures. Quickly lowering the temperature locks in vitamins, nutrients and flavours, so your food will taste just as fresh and delicious after thawing. The Deep Freeze function in the Hisense fridge quickly drops the temperature to – 28 °C, making your deep freeze storage quick, easy and efficient.

Add some smart habits to your routine

A few small changes can make a big difference in how long your food lasts:

• First in, first out. Put newer groceries behind older ones so you use up food before it goes bad.
• Label leftovers. A simple sticky note with the date can save you from playing the guessing game of “is this still good?”
• Store smartly. Keep herbs in a jar of water, wrap cheese in parchment paper, and store mushrooms in a paper bag to extend their life.
