Everything in your fridge probably has its place. We don’t just fit everything in and hope that nothing falls out when we open the door. Instead, we place them on certain shelves even if we do have to be creative with space sometimes. We’ve been taught that food needs to go in a certain order when it comes to the fridge and this is why we do it. But what if you’ve been organizing your fridge wrong for your whole life?
Indeed, sometimes we put food on certain shelves that could be reducing its shelf life. So the way you’re storing things in your fridge might be partially responsible for the amount of food that you throw away. This is why you should be careful storing your food so that you can actually cook it using your brand new Expertise pots and pans gifted by your mother in law last Ramadan.
So what are we storing incorrectly in our fridges?
Milk
Everyone knows that milk goes in the fridge door, right? Wrong! Storing your milk in the door of your fridge is the wrong place because the door is the warmest part of the fridge. Your milk needs to be kept nice and cold or you will end up accidentally drinking a slightly sour cup of coffee in the morning before the expiry date has been reached. Just store your milk on the middle shelf of your fridge and it will stay fresh for longer.
Cheese
Like milk, we might keep cheese in the little compartments in the fridge door. However, cheese should be kept as cold as possible so place your hard cheeses on the middle shelf next to your milk. And remember, fresh cheese means delicious mac n cheese for dinner so it should not be spoiled! The same goes for yogurts and eggs, so keep this shelf as a primarily dairy shelf. However, butter and soft cheeses can go in the fridge door as this will stop them from going too hard.
Raw meat
If you’re storing your raw meat and fish on the bottom shelf of your fridge, you’re right. This is the best and coldest part of the fridge, so no risk of juices dripping onto other food, which causes dangerous contamination. It is also important to package it all up so it’s totally sealed so it will stay edible for longer.
Pre-cooked foods
Any that is already cooked such as chicken kabsa leftovers should stay on the top shelf of your fridge. This shelf has the most consistent temperature, which ensures that bacteria does not grow too quickly.
Now that you know where everything should be going in your fridge, it’s time to get rearranging!

These days, light roast coffee is experiencing a surge in popularity. So what’s changed in the coffee-drinking world?
Well, a lot, but let’s begin with the different shades of coffee roasts. There is a real distinction between light, medium and dark roast coffee, and we’re talking about more than just the colour of the coffee beans when they are removed from the roaster.
We sat down (over coffee, of course,) with some of the most passionate coffee connoisseurs to shed some light on everything you need to know about coffee bean roasts. Hint: The difference lies in the taste too, not just the amount of caffeine kick.
Light Roast Coffee

Let’s start with the lighter side of the spectrum. Have you ever had a cup of coffee that was so bitter, it took a while to finish it? If you find yourself enjoying coffee with a sweeter, more tangy taste, light roast coffee is your go-to order.
Why Does My Coffee Taste Bitter and How Do I Fix It?
When coffee cherries are picked, the beans are soft, green in colour and tasteless before they are roasted to bring out the aroma and flavour that we have come to know and love. Light roast coffee beans are roasted between 175-200°C to either just before or right at the first crack. Word has it that coffee roasters in the 80s realised when high-quality beans are roasted for a shorter time, more complex flavours are unlocked. Many like light roasts for their milder taste — it is less bitter, though more acidic to the tongue. Having been exposed to heat for a shorter time, the beans offer some delicately nuanced flavours, retaining much of the original taste imbued from the soil they have been grown in. A cup of light roast coffee reveals traces of sweetness and fruity undertones, often with a subtle floral aroma.
Medium Roast Coffee
Medium roast is generally preferred by most coffee drinkers because of its balanced flavour profile — delicately nuanced flavours, highly aromatic and likely to be sweet. Photo from Nathan Dumlao. Next, the medium roast coffee, an all-rounder in the coffee roasting realm. Coffee beans are roasted a little longer than the light roast until the colour turns a slightly darker shade of brown. Medium roasts are typically exposed to temperatures between 200-220°C, roasted to the end of the first crack or the beginning of the second. These coffee beans offer a multilayered complexity in taste. While many of the coffee’s original flavours are preserved, the beans are also roasted until they begin to reach a deep caramel sweetness. As a result, your cup of medium roast coffee is most likely to be sweet in flavour with prominent notes of fruit, chocolate and caramel, highly aromatic and less acidic. For those who prefer a more balanced flavour profile, you can’t go wrong with a medium roast.
Dark Roast Coffee
Dark roast, as you may have guessed, is the darkest in colour. The beans may also appear shiny to the eye and oily to touch. Photo from Jakub Kapusnak.
Traditionally, dark roast is used to mask defective or lower grade coffee beans. They are roasted to a point where one is no longer able to taste any of the discerning qualities. Lately though, coffee roasters are no longer roasting away the bad flavours, but creating dark roasts to bring out the deeper and darker yet pleasant notes in coffee beans. The dark roast happens roughly at the end of the second crack or slightly beyond, reaching a little over 230°C. At this stage, the coffee’s original flavours (bright tones) are typically overshadowed by the roasting qualities, which are bold and rich in body and texture as well as a hallmark aroma familiar to most. The right dark roast sometimes reveals a decadent dark chocolatey flavour or toasted pine. It’s hard to miss dark roast; the dark shiny appearance from the oily beans will give away the roast.
Which Roast has the Most Caffeine?
It’s important to know which roast level you prefer because it determines how much flavour is in your cup of coffee. Photo from Victor Munoz.
A dark, richer roast sounds like it leads to stronger coffee, right?
The answer is no. Or not really.
Caffeine content remains pretty much stable at each stage of the roasting process. So fret not; be it light, medium or dark roast, it will all get you equally caffeinated.
How Your Coffee Brewing Methods Affect Caffeine Extraction?
However, the density of the bean does change; beans that are roasted longer are less dense. If you measure your coffee by scoops, light roasts technically have more caffeine. If you weigh out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass. Now that you’ve got the coffee beans roasted just the way you like it, make sure you get the best coffee you can with them.
