So I just purchased a new refrigerator. Now I had to buy one to fit a small space, it's about only 66" in height and about 34" in width. I bought a Whirlpool freezer on top refrigerator on bottom. This one has two crispers for fruits and vegetables. The crispers are not of equal size, one is larger than the other. My previous refrigerator had crispers that were  equal in size and very roomy. I had to take some things out of the crisper, such as onions, potatoes, and a bulb of garlic and put them on a shelf. I was just wondering what do all of you put in your crispers?

I usually put things like celery, lettuce, carrots,peppers,etc. in the crisper so. I don't put onions, potatoes or garlic in the fridge.

Fresh produce, cheese, and some packaged lunchmeat.

Right now the drawers are holding several bottles of ale from a guest who forgot them, plus two six-packs of Dr. Brown's Diet Cream Soda. If I put fruits and veg in those drawers, I forget they're there. I keep them on the shelves, where I can see them.

I didn't think you were supposed to store potatoes and onions in the refrigerator....

I, also, have a Whirlpool.   I think it's 25 sq. ft.???  Does that even sound right???  Anyway, I put fruits and veggies in the larger (upper) drawer and stuff to defrost in the lower drawer.  We also have an upright freezer in the laundry room, which is a big help.  I'll freeze bagels there and hubby will take one pkg. out and put it in the lower drawer until he wants to use them.  The freezer is a Frigidaire and I love it.  I wonder how I ever got along without it.

Cheese, Atkins drinks, lettuce, butter, just things my won't take up much room & the crispers really come in handy. I have an LG french country door..

Lettuces, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, green & red peppers and other veggies.  Onions are on the shelf until I cut into them for a recipe then they go in a plastic bag and in the crisper.  You could always use one crisper (the smaller one for cheeses and lunch meats).

25 sqft sounds right.  It's BIG.

I store regular food in mine and sometimes drinks.  Rare to store veggies and fruit.

I definitely wouldn't put potatoes in the refrigerator!   Onions - only when I have a half an onion, for example, and I vacuum seal it and put it in there.

I put whatever food in there.  If I don't have a lot of fresh herbs and/or produce, then I put other stuff down there.  It doesn't matter what you put in there, as long as it is something that is best refrigerated.
