Video transcript

Condensation on your food in the fridge is usually due to moisture and temperature differences. When warm air enters the fridge and cools down, it turns into liquid, forming droplets on your food. To minimize this, ensure a tight seal on containers, cover the food, avoid frequent door opening, and check the fridge's temperature settings, keeping it between 35-38°F (1.7-3.3°C). This helps in control moisture and keeps your food fresh longer.
