When bringing vegetables from the market or your own plot, you really want to preserve their freshness and benefits for as long as possible. But few people know how to properly store such food so that when it is on the table it gives us all the benefits. Modern designs allow you to very successfully and efficiently solve such a complex problem without disturbing the overall design of the kitchen.

Features and difficulties of storing vegetables and fruits in the kitchen

Most often, when people bring fresh vegetables, they put them in different places in the refrigerator, believing that this is enough to preserve them. But this approach is wrong. Not all plant products should be refrigerated, since low temperature not only destroys many in them useful material, but also quickly leads the product to rotting processes. In addition, many types of food should not be adjacent. Therefore, for optimal preservation, it is recommended to purchase or make your own vegetable cabinet for the kitchen or loggia.

Under the wrong conditions, active processes of ripening, seed germination, and rotting of overripe pulp begin in fruits and root vegetables, which quickly renders them unusable and forces a person to buy new products. To ensure their safety, it is necessary to ensure correct temperature regime, ventilation or tightness, correct location.

Note - Apples should always be stored separately from other vegetables and fruits, not only for room temperature, but also in the refrigerator. The close proximity of these fruits significantly accelerates the ripening processes of other plant foods, which shortens their shelf life.

Types of vegetable storage systems in the kitchen

Considering that most plant products are best preserved at room temperature, the question arises - where and how to place them? Today they can solve it special systems storage of vegetables in the kitchen, which not only fit perfectly into the interior, but can also become its decoration without taking up extra space.

Kitchen drawers for fruits and vegetables

Built-in drawers mounted on rail mechanisms are the main part of almost any vegetable storage system in the kitchen. They are comfortable, roomy and functional. Thanks to roller guides, such drawers slide out almost silently, without requiring special effort, and provide quick access to the products necessary for cooking.

The internal equipment of such structures may vary. The vegetable drawer for the kitchen can have a pull-out or folding design, be made of wood, strong wire, wicker materials, metal mesh. In such devices it is always created optimal system ventilation, necessary for longer preservation of vegetables. However, experts do not recommend using wooden boxes (chipboard) for storing plant food, since even if there are holes in them, they do not create optimal conditions and the correct temperature, which quickly leads to wilting and rotting of food. It is better to store dishes and cutlery in such places.

Built-in drawers are suitable for storing almost all types of vegetables that require placement in the dark with mandatory air access. Vertical drawers with a roller mechanism are of a special design. Inside such a system there are several narrow shelves with sides, which allows you to place items one at a time, in rows, avoiding their accumulation. It is very convenient to store fruits here.

Wicker pull-out baskets

The ideal place to place most herbal products is in well-ventilated but protected from light boxes. This is exactly the combination important parameters provides the fruit with a built-in storage box for vegetables in the form of a basket, which is often an element of kitchen systems.

Pull-out baskets can be hidden behind cabinet doors or placed separately to form a special piece of furniture. Often pull-out baskets different sizes are installed inside tables or cabinets, including corner ones. In such structures, thanks to the many holes, optimal conditions are provided for many vegetables and fruits for long-term preservation. But it is important to have several such devices in order to separate fruits and roots by type.

Metal mesh for vegetables and fruits

Metal mesh boxes provide another convenient and functional place to store food. Wire pull-out baskets can have different designs, simply installing in grooves in the cabinet walls behind a common door or sliding out one drawer at a time on a roller mechanism. Single containers, as a rule, have a front wooden panel. Such designs are durable and very practical, they are easy to clean. But keep it here better fruits large sizes.

Metal mesh has the same principle as wicker baskets, providing the necessary air circulation and preventing moisture from retaining. The conditions for preserving many fruits in them are optimal, but they must be placed correctly. For fruits, small hanging nets are suitable, which can be hung in the kitchen or hidden inside cabinets. Nets with vegetables should be placed in a cool and dark place.

Plastic containers

Built-in containers are found in almost every kitchen storage system. They are located inside built-in drawers and, as a rule, each of them contains several containers of different sizes, both with and without lids. Small fruits can be stored in such containers, subject to regular sorting and removal of spoiled fruits. But it’s best to place nuts, dried fruits, and cereals here.

Fresh herbal products should only be stored in built-in containers if the box is part of a special kitchen system with cooling and ventilation.

Access methods and installation options for storage systems for vegetables and fruits in kitchen cabinets

Options for installing a vegetable storage system in the kitchen today can be different. The method and convenience of accessing the posted products depends on this parameter.

Retractable systems

Built-in drawers and baskets can have different sliding mechanisms, which greatly affects the cost of kitchen sets. Most often, roller guides are used, which are one of the simplest and most cost-effective mechanisms. They do not have closers, have partial extension, but can withstand a load of up to 25 kg. The guides are attached using ordinary self-tapping screws.

More modern look The mechanism can be called Metabox guide systems on rails, the cost of which in comparison with conventional roller ones is much higher. This device can also withstand loads of up to 25 kg and has partial extension, but closers can be additionally installed here, which significantly increases operational safety.

For wooden boxes It is optimal to use the Tandem extension system, which provides the structure with silent, high-quality and smooth movement. Wear-resistant cylindrical rollers made of durable plastic are installed inside the guide system. Such a device (depending on the type) can withstand a load of up to 30 or 50 kg. The drawers can be pulled out either partially or completely, with or without a closer. They can open by pressing the front panel when installing a special Tip-On device, but in this case it is impossible to use closers.

Folding drawers

Folding drawers hidden in kitchen cabinets can become great solution for storing plant food in a small kitchen space, in comparison with retractable structures they do not require much space when opened. Usually, folding models The drawers have a telescopic extension mechanism. On inside The door of such a device is attached to one large or several small metal (wicker) baskets of different sizes and depths for placing fruits and root vegetables, providing quick, convenient access to them.

Folding drawers can be located in lower cabinets general headset and separately, making up a special piece of furniture, in the form of a pencil case or cabinet, making the common space functional and comfortable.

For a large kitchen, special drawers with a common hinged door, combining a roller and telescopic mechanism, are suitable. In this case, when the door is opened, all hidden drawers smoothly slide out horizontally like a “staircase,” opening general access to the stored products.

Rules for preparing vegetables and fruits for storage in kitchen cabinets

In order for fruits and roots to retain their freshness and benefits for a long time, it is important to observe certain rules, in particular:

• Only undamaged specimens should be selected for storage.
• The leaves on the fruits must be removed before storing, leaving only 1 - 2 cm, preventing premature drying.
• Some vegetables should be stored in a paper or plastic bag with holes punched in, while others should be stored in airtight containers.
• Apricots, pears, mangoes, melons, avocados, tomatoes, apples and peaches can be stored in the refrigerator if they are ripe, but should be wrapped in a paper towel. If the fruits are unripe, it is better to leave them in baskets when room conditions for maturation, but separately from each other.
• When stored in the refrigerator, food should be distributed freely without touching each other, otherwise they will quickly begin to rot.
• Any plant products should be washed before use. The exception is green salad leaves and fresh herbs; they must be thoroughly washed, dried, and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Grapes, cherries, bananas, eggplants, cherries, various berries, Bell pepper And citrus fruit should be placed in the refrigerator, hermetically sealed.
• Garlic, potatoes, onion require storage in special boxes in the air, but in a dark and cool place. When you place them in the refrigerator, they not only change their taste, but also quickly begin to rot.

It is convenient to store vegetables and fruits in modern drawers X kitchen set. They will always have a specific place and the interior will look neat. But there are several important points, which should definitely be taken into account when ordering your future kitchen. How to organize a convenient and a nice place for storing fruits and vegetables in the kitchen - designer tips and 25 photos for inspiration.

Options for storing vegetables in the kitchen

There are three main ways:

- regular drawer:

- wicker baskets, which are located in an open niche between the floor cabinets:

- pull-out wire baskets, also located in a niche or hidden behind the hinged doors of the floor cabinets:

Some manufacturers household appliances they make refrigerators with special drawers - they support optimal temperature so that vegetables and fruits retain their benefits and freshness for as long as possible. But such technology is not cheap.

1. A deep drawer with high sides is best for storing vegetables and fruits. It can be made to order or the height of a standard drawer can be “increased” using special fittings- roof rails and sidewalls. Thanks to this, its capacity will significantly increase.
2. The vegetable drawer can be quite narrow and at the same time high. For example, it is convenient to integrate it into a narrow floor-mounted kitchen module near a stove or sink - they are often 300-400 mm wide.
3. Make sure there is good ventilation. Lattice facades or mesh inserts in a frame made of MDF or solid wood do an excellent job of this task.
4. A mandatory element of such a box is dividers. In custom-made solid wood sets, if desired, you can immediately order a vegetable box with wooden sides and partitions. IN modern kitchens it is much more convenient to use plastic or metal dividers-organizers, which offer everything large manufacturers accessories. You can find them in different price categories.

   It's practical. If desired, you can change the internal configuration of the box in one motion. For example, add an extra compartment for potatoes, onions or carrots by simply moving the divider.

5. Wicker baskets made of wicker with wooden or plastic sides are very good for storing vegetables and fruits in the kitchen. They slide along the guides and are as convenient to use as a drawer.
   In a basket of natural material the products feel much better. But wicker accessories are an addition, first of all, for kitchens in the style modern classic, country or Provence. However, baskets with laconic rectangular design They will fit well into the interior of a modern-style kitchen.

An idea to note: it is convenient to use a removable fabric cover in baskets and wash it as needed.
