A clothesline or rod inside your refrigerator or freezer with multiple clips hanging off. This is so you can clip and slide your Ziploc leftovers. Should save space and be neater than chucking them anywhere.

I put a lazy susan tray in my fridge a month or so ago (I had a 1/2B idea about it & finally got around to doing it). |
|
| |
The clothesline thing is tempting. |
|
| |
Can I get some ziplock clothing to wear while I'm doing this? |
|
| |
Whilst a *clothesline* is for hanging clothes, this is still a pretty good idea. Ziploc this bun + |

Nice - let's see if I can bake it in a way my landlord won't notice. |
|
| |
No/reduced shelving should improve airflow and therefore energy effiency too. |

I was thinking about using magnets w/ the line attached to them, but they'd have to be fairly strong magnets. |

Freezer full of crap that I dig through every night to get the one thing that I need, which is always in the furthest back corner. [+] |

I like it. (+)
I'm also in the process of doing something very similar with vacuum packed frozen food to try and maximize display space. I was thinking of duel rods protruding from the back of the freezer. Punch a double hole through the top flap of the plastic and packages should hang fifteen deep like like hand tools at the hardware store. |

[2 fries] - Do you vacuum seal stuff
yourself? If so, does it really make a
difference, and is it cost effective? |
|
| |
I'll have to let you know [nomocrow]. Right now everything we do is in Ziplock bags and tin pans.
I bought a home vacuum seal machine to experiment with but it is time consuming and I don't think it will be cost effective unless I invest in an industrial model. |
|
| |
What I like about vacuum sealing is the lack of freezer burn, the extended freezer shelf life, and the pre-marinade-ability.
The vacuum really helps to suck the marinade deep into the meat. |

[+] It should force some degree of rotation of your stock to keep it from getting too old. That is, the older zip locks become more accessible as new entries are introduced (aka. First In, First Out or FIFO). Once you figure out how to do that quickly, resell it to… everyone who sells perishables. |
|
| |
If you keep leftover garlic in the bags, is it a ziplock clovesline? [+] |
|
| |
[2F] Thanks - if it really makes for
better freezing, I can make it work. I
tend to factor quality into cost-
effectiveness. |
|
| |
I've been thinking about this one a
good bit. The best I can come up with
for rotation is a vending-style freezer
with the rotating corkscrew feeders. |
|
| |
Looks like freezer rotation is going to
be occupying the noodle for a while. |
|
| |
Nothing happens in a vacuum. |
|
| |
As for FIFO, perhaps a horizontal U-shape, be it corkscrew or hanging. |
|
| |
You can call it a Zipline. Now if they'd only sell ziplock bags with the hook built in. |
|
| |
I tend to use re-useable gladware type containers. A rail on
the side of the fridge/freezer with hooks that they would
attach to (under the lip?) would be a useful extension of this
idea. |
