Interesting. This cool non-refrigerator banana-hack on youtube may interest too but another interesting use for the wire-hanger banana-hanger is to first hang a prescription pill bottle onto it with a twist tie inserted into the pill-bottle, then looped around the hanger-loop. Then insert some pens. After that, use a small bulldog clip to hold some scrap paper. After which you can slide the holes of the bulldog-clip onto the hanger-loop. Voila - there you have a handy P&P station (pen & paper station.

Good idea and I also love some Smuckers Jelly.

Good Idea! But wouldn't an "S"-hook work better than twisted wire? And because they release gas, Couldn't you use one of those new "green bags" with it? Do they ripen faster in the ridge? I always put them on the countertop because I thought they turned brown in the fridge.

FYI: bananas last longer when separated. Bananas release a gas (ethylene) that causes anything around them to ripen. Storing them in the fridge makes them last longer, as does hanging them, but the best way to do it is to separate your bananas throughout your kitchen or fridge. You can almost make it look interior-designish. If you want your bananas to ripen quickly, I would recommend inclosing them in a bag, as this will cause the gas to be trapped around them. Just a thought, this is really a nice instructable to make a banana hook.

good idea but you could also just use an old mesh bag and duct tape it to the fridge.

Good idea! I don't have the grate things in my refrigerator though.. we just put them on the dinner table in this basket thing.
