In a domestic fridge, should milk be lined up, oldest to newest from the hinge, or away from the hinge, and why? (lemmy.radio)

The door suffers from temp fluctuations and is often the warmest part of the fridge. Milk is sensitive to this so it should be at the back of the fridge not the door. The door is just to keep things chilled, or for keeping things from going bad.

    This "door is too warm for milk" thing is crazy. I keep milk on a door shelf because it's the only place with enough height. Also it never goes off there, even past the use-by date.

    To be honest I did the same until a few years ago. I don't know if milk is just more prone to going bad these days or our fridge gets open more often, but I noticed our milk wasn't lasting. No science behind it, just that we were pouring more milk away. My missus started putting the milk at the back after she did a bit of research and since then it has been fine. I didn't believe it either at first but I also did some digging and turns out the door is recommended for chilling items not preserving them.
