We all do it: stand with the door open, staring into the abyss, wondering what’s for dinner. But here’s a little upbeat truth: every 10 seconds the door is open, the temp rises by about one degree. That means your food is slowly entering the danger zone (above 40°F).
Don’t panic! Just make it a game. Try the “grab-and-go” challenge: know what you want before you open that door. Your milk will stay fresher, and you’ll feel like a productivity ninja. Win-win.

Or, just buy a $5 fridge thermometer. Stick it on the middle shelf (not the door!). Check it once a week while you’re grabbing a snack. It’s like checking your car’s oil, but way more fun because you get to eat cheese afterward.
