Refrigerator Fruit and Vegetable Bins
Fruit Pan (Low-Humidity):
- Many fruits and some vegetables do not require much moisture for short term preservation. This drawer is not gasket sealed, which helps provide a good circulation of air to keep low-humidity foods fresh longer.
- This non-sealed pan can also be used for vegetables when the refrigerator does not feature a sealed pan. Keep vegetables wrapped when placing them in the non-sealed pan.
- This drawer may also be called a Cool 'n Fresh or Low-Humidity drawer.
Best for foods like: apples, oranges, apricots, peaches, raspberries, tangerines, nectarines, grapes, pears, strawberries, summer squash, and mushrooms
Vegetable pan (High-Humidity):
- This drawer is sealed by gaskets to maintain a higher humidity. Many vegetables, especially leafy green vegetables, need a high humidity storage for items such as leafy green vegetables. This kind of environment helps them to stay fresher longer.
- Some vegetables are very moist and hold a lot of water, so it is sometimes good to leave the drawer slightly open if storing extremely damp produce to prevent wilting.
- This drawer may also be called a Cool 'n Fresh or High-Humidity drawer.
Best for foods like: artichokes, celery, parsley, asparagus, peas, green onions and leeks, beets, corn, radishes, broccoli, leafy greens, rhubarb, brussel sprouts, spinach, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, parsnips, turnips, cauliflower, cherries, blueberries, and currants. Vegetable/Fruit pan: (Adjustable Humidity):
- This drawer allows the flexibility of converting this bin to either a high humidity (sealed for vegetables) or low humidity (unsealed for fruits).
- For high humidity, slide the lever to the far left to seal the pan. For low humidity, slide the lever to the far right.
