Abstract
A protective liner includes a body formed from disposable and porous material and has planar top and bottom surfaces respectively. Such a body is removably positioned within an existing refrigerator drawer such that the body covers an entire bottom surface of the existing refrigerator drawer. The body has an outer layer provided with a uniform thickness extending along the top and bottom surfaces respectively. Such an outer layer is formed from paper material and the core member is formed from cotton. The body further has a unitary core member intercalated between the outer layer and is statically nested therebetween. Such a core member is formed from water-absorbent material for soaking up and trapping moisture from the foodstuff.
