We Use These Gadgets to Make Our Fridges Better Places

Scouted Editor Jillian Lucas decided it was time to put an end to fridge smells after a particularly pungent experience, and so she tested out this watermelon shaped device. She says to “think of it as an air purifier, just for your fridge.” It releases “odor eating particles” to help break down ethylene gas and thereby make it harder for foods to go bad. There’s even a replacement light on it, so you know when it’s time to replace the batteries.

I don’t know about you, but my crisper drawers were a mess. There were all of these dead, wilted herbs and greens in there and I had to empty everything out to clean it. That is, until I discovered these. They simply slip right in your fridge drawers or on the shelves, are entirely machine washable, and make keeping a clean fridge easier than I ever imagined.

In a similar vein to Jill’s Lasko purifier, I enjoy this produce saver. The idea is simple: produce releases ethylene gas that causes fruits and veggies to over ripen. The Bluapple absorbs this gas, so that your produce will last longer, and stay fresh all the while. It’s genius.

I don’t care if your freezer ice machine is excellent, you still need these ice trays. They have lids to make them stackable, but most importantly, makes it easy to transport them full of water to the freezer. Plus, the silicone material makes it easy to remove the cubes once they are frozen.

Scouted Contributor Ashley Zlatopolsky says this little holder was the solution to her persistent sparkling water problem (which was, her cans of bubbly were never cold enough). This organizing tool sits neatly on a shelf, and she says that she doubled the amount of room in her fridge as a result, leaving more room for the necessities.
