When storing food in your refrigerator, it's essential to place dairy products in the top of the fridge (eggs, milk etc). Raw meat should be stored on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator. This isn't just because of temperature, but also to prevent juices from running away from infecting other food items. Crisper drawers are best for vegetables. However, make sure that you do not store any fruits in these drawers since they release ethylene, which can cause over-ripening of other fresh food items. This could be a problem for food items like tomatoes, watermelons, and apples.
