Paper towels belong in your refrigerator. Surprised? Hear us out!

We’re used to reaching for these handy helpers for spills. But they’re more versatile than a person might think! Whether it’s patting chicken dry to get super crispy skin, or seasoning a cast-iron skillet, paper towels come to the rescue in different ways.

Now, as our gardens flood with produce, we’re looking for ways to keep all the leafy greens and plump zucchini from going bad. It turns out paper towels can even help you keep your vegetables fresh!

Psst! We found the best paper towel brand.

What Do I Have to Do?
It’s pretty simple—all you have to do is line your crisper drawer with paper towels before you tuck your produce in there. Then, replace the paper towel every time you put in a new batch of produce. This makes sure your vegetables stay fresher longer. It keeps the crisper drawer clean, too.
