9. Place the meat on the bottom shelf
You put meat in containers, plastic bags, or even on plates. They can thaw out. Unfortunately, it may leak to other foods. Therefore, it is best to put meat on the bottom shelf. It will ensure the safety of your other meals.
Another tip is to get your meat out of other foods. Meat bacteria can get into your fruit, vegetables, or cooked foods. So keep the rest of the food away from your uncooked meat.
