Please Take Care of My Refrigerator (), also known as Chef & My Fridge, is a South Korean cooking-variety program starring various chefs and celebrity guests. It premiered on November 17, 2014 and concluded on November 25, 2019, after five years of broadcast. The show was then rebooted on both television and on Netflix, the first episode aired on December 15, 2024. It currently airs on JTBC on Sundays at 20:50 (KST).

Format In each episode, two guests have their refrigerators brought to the filming studio. The hosts go through each refrigerator, with the hosts, chefs, and guests commenting on unusual or otherwise notable foods. The hosts will sometimes "help" the guests by throwing away ingredients that are expired. The cast members sometimes sample a dish in the refrigerator. Each guest has four of the eight chefs assigned to them, and each guest presents two categories of food that he or she would like cooked. Examples of categories include Western-style food or a seafood dish that the guest's children would enjoy. Each of the four chefs chooses the category they wish to compete in, with two chefs competing in each category.

The two competing chefs have 15 minutes to cook a dish using ingredients from the guest's refrigerator. Some basic ingredients, like onions, are provided by the show. A host (Kim Sung-joo or Ahn Jung-hwan) will then sample the dishes in the middle of the cooking process and comment on their quality. Starting with the chef who finished cooking their dish first, each chef presents their dish to the guest and then to the remaining cast members. After commentary on the dishes, the guest selects the winner. If the owner can't decide the winner, then all members (hosts, other guests, and non competing chefs) cast the vote to determine the winner. An annual championship is held at the end of each year to determine the champion chef of the season.

In earlier formats, all cast members (hosts, other chefs, and the other guest) voted on the winner, with the chef who finished earlier winning in the event of a draw.
