8. A cookie jar
Last but not least, add cookie jars to the list of items you shouldn’t store on the top of your fridge. Cookies and other goodies go stale easily if kept on the refrigerator, succumbing to the same airflow and heat issues that take down a loaf of bread.
To keep your cookies fresh, get unbreakable, airtight food storage containters (here are some great options) and store your sweets there instead of a cookie jar.
Safety experts say cookie jars are items you shouldn’t store on the top of your fridge because kids can easily be tempted to get to them. The few extra feet to the top of the refrigerator won’t faze them, so they can climb up, which is a bad idea. The risk of them falling is high.
So keep those special jars anywhere but the surface above your refrigerator.
