7. Glass bowls and jars

Next on the list of items you shouldn’t store on the top of your fridge are glass bowls and jars.

Casserole dishes, Mason jars, mixing bowls, and everything in between are heavy, and if they fall on you or some member of the family, it can be dangerous and painful.

Nestling bowls together in a cabinet is safe, but stacking them on your refrigerator can cause some serious issues if they shift.

Moreover, all the crannies and nooks of bowls and glass kitchen items harbor grease and dust, which experts say are pest and fire hazards.
