This stay-fresh guide will make you the ultimate refrigerista.

Like most girls, you're not really into the spoiled type.

Neither are we. And now, thanks to shelf-life database StillTasty, we never have to deal with past-prime food again.

Not sure if you should toss those leftovers? StillTasty has the 411 on everything in your fridge and freezer. Search its database by specific food (and we do mean specific), or find items by category. Once you locate the food in question, StillTasty will tell you how long it'll stay safe and delicious, and also give you suggestions for the best ways to store it.

The easy-to-navigate site is also filled with helpful tips for general food freshness and answers to reader questions (for instance: does bottled water have an expiration date?). StillTasty does the research so neither your body nor your wallet has to pay the price for spoiled eats.

Turns out, there is accounting for taste.
