The three basics in just about everyone’s refrigerator are:
Eggs
Open the carton and check to make sure none of your eggs are broken. It is best to keep eggs stored in their original carton.
Milk
You get to choose between whole milk, 2%, or 1%. The numbers indicate fat content. I like whole milk for my coffee but 1% on my cereal.
Butter
Butter should be kept covered or wrapped, as it does absorb odors. For toast, I like the spreadable kind, which often comes in its own tub.
