Two crispers in new refrigerator, how do I use them?

Question

We just got a new refrigerator and love it. The "problem" is that it has two crisper drawers - one is humidity controlled, the other is temperature controlled. So what kind of vegetables can I put in each of these. And what exactly does a crisper drawer do that a regular refrigerator space doesn't?

Answer 1

I use the 2 crispers, 1 is humidity controlled, and the other is temp as well.

I put 'hard' veggies and fruit in the temp controlled one. Apples, Broccoli, Cauliflower, winter squash. The humidity controlled one I use for the more delicate veggies and fruit, lettuces, tomato, mushrooms....

Answer 2

The crisper drawers are used to keep your fruit and vegetables in. The food will last longer if kept in the bins.
