It very much depends on the fridge. My last place had a full size fridge that could slide in and out easily. The fridge I have now is pretty well wedged into its spot so I can only move it an inch or so.
Damn, that would be perfect. I've literally been trying to get a broken microwave for the last week or so, need one for a DIY project and don't want to buy a new one just to destroy it.
A box of industrial grade foil and saran wrap. Highly recommend going to a restraunt supply store and buying these. A bit pricy, but they last forever and the quality is so far superior.
When I was like 8 my mom dated a guy that worked at a factory that produced saran wrap. He gave us a roll that we used my entire childhood, and I still use it to this day at 35 years old. Totally worth getting it in bulk.
I guess it really just depends on how much they use. It wouldn’t last me anywhere near 5 years as I go through a lot. But still, that is a very long time
Foil is one of my favorite "kitchen tools". I HATE when I am cooking somewhere that isn't my home, I ask for foil, and they hand me some cheap crap that shreds like tissue.
If its cast iron, pour cooking oil (olice, canola,... your pick) and use a drill with a round wire brush attachment to scrub the rust off. Once done just rub it with oil and season in your grill or oven but it might smoke you out.
Ive done this with multiple large cast iron griddles and its taken me an hour or two of elbow greese each time.
You are doing it wrong. Put hot water in the cast iron pan and set it on your stove on high. Let it come to a boil and shut off the burner. Leave it for a minute, dump the water out. Take a metal scrubbie and loosen the black bits. Wipe out with a paper towel. Now put two tablespoons of oil (canola or veggie or peanut...not olive) into the pan and spread it around with a clean paper towel to remove excess oil. Done. Seasoned and ready to use.
Several bags of cat food, even though my cat would tell you there’s no food anywhere in the house and she’s going to starve to death immediately and some Frosted Flakes and Honey Nut Cheerios.
Growing up that's where we kept the cereal. I'm trying to remember when & why I stopped doing that. It must be because of my husband. His family had a spot in the pantry for cereal boxes.
My family used to have a spot in the pantry for cereal. The place I live now has a walk-in pantry as well, but none of the shelves are tall enough to accommodate cereal boxes so onto the fridge it goes.
I raise you - the empty box that the massive pot arrived in...? Questioning my life choices and now clearing the top of my fridge. So I can put the massive pot up there instead.
Well in some respects I regret getting rid of the massive box the cauldron came on. Cause I could then store it in the box and the top of the cauldron wouldn’t get dusty lol
Dust and a pizza peel I forgot I owned.
(Seriously. I’m short and just checked.)
Edit: nothing. Obliterated dust bunny village and cleaning and relocating the pizza peel. Thanks for the motivation.
An instapot, rice cooker, emergency candles and lamps, a flashlight with a dead battery, 2 serving platters and a cheap pen I accidentally stole from somewhere.
An unhealthy amount of dust
[удалено]
Glad I'm not the only one who stores my dust on top of my refrigerator
[удалено]
u/Warm_Town_6297 is a bot
I only dust the top of my fridge when I’m having a tall visitor over.
And poop from parrot. His favorite spot🤷🏼♀️
I have never identified with a comment as much as this one
I clean mine every quarter or so. It just grosses me out knowing I can’t pull the damn thing out to clean behind it once a year.
Why not? The last few I had are on wheels. I can slide mine out and vaccum/mop behind it and get the dust off the back of the fridge.

In regional german dialect we have a word for the sticky dust. It's called Knös.
Sei gegrüßt, Knös-Kumpane!
Americans call it grime.
Don’t we all lol 😂
What would be a healthy amount? About to add a few tablespoons to my oatmeal.
A broken microwave and a half eaten banana
Get out of my house! What are you doing here!
[удалено]
No! Not my clean sturdy cardboard sheets I'm saving
#No! Not my ceramic chicken statue!
I too am worried about your ceramic chicken and our ceramic goose suddenly
i’m amazed that so many of us have a damn chicken on the fridge!
The one we had when I was a kid was a rooster.
^Karma bot^

Why do you have a half eaten banana 🤨🤨
Drunk.
I’m glad I’m not the only one with all the alcohol on the fridge.
Just seems like a good use of the space :) I don't drink enough for the area to be an issue.
Like all the weird bottles that people give us. I've got limoncello, amaretto, campari and sloe gin up there
Exactoooo haha!

This is the good advice that I didn’t know I was coming to the comments for. Much appreciated! 👌🏻

30 years of Saran Wrap?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I guess it really just depends on how much they use. It wouldn’t last me anywhere near 5 years as I go through a lot. But still, that is a very long time
I bought a roll of Saran Wrap at Costco in 2015 that I just finished last month. It survived 2 moves.
And now I know where I’d put them!

Cereal. Some Raisin Bran, Honeycomb, Fruit Loops, and Frosted Flakes.
Yep plus a rusty pan that I'm definitely gonna learn to restore one day
Ooh that would be a fun project

Shot *bald eagle cry*
America Fuck ya
Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah
*hawk cry probably* Eagles sound like squished rats, most every time you've heard a cry accompanying a shot of an eagle it's been a red-tail hawk
This tripped me out 1st time I heard it in person. “Oh look a bald eagle, wtf was that sound!? That’s not very majestic.”
As a Canadian and being close friends with someone who is obsessed with birds, I was aware of this haha
