Peppers with fridge burn

Hi Everyone

Happy New Year, and thank you so much to everyone that helped me and gave me fab ideas last year :)

My fridge seems to be at the right temperature but sometimes things that get pushed to the back get partly frozen - usually things like peppers and cucumber.

I can't think of anything I can do with frozen cucumber (is that even beyond all you os'ers :rotfl:) but would it be okay to chop the peppers and freeze them? I have never frozen peppers before but I know lots of you do. Do they go soggy?

Not sure if they would go soggy anyway because of having fridge burn?

It's really frustrating because I have to organise my fridge so that nothing at all touches the back and things like veggies have to stay close to the front, but if I turn the fridge down it doesn't stay cold enough :confused:

Any ideas?

    I used to find that my fridge would do that if I had it packed so tightly that air couldn't circulate around things.

    (I also have a young grandson who is very clever at altering the dial inside - but that's another matter altogether ;).)
