Develop an organization system for the refrigerator

The temperature zones in the refrigerator

• Heat always goes up, so it's down in the refrigerator always colder than above.
• The only exception is the vegetable compartment. It is isolated from the rest of the refrigerator by a glass plate. Since the cooling loops are attached above the glass plate, the vegetable compartment is warmer than the upper area.
• The warmest place in the refrigerator is the door area, as this is the furthest away from the cooling loops. Up to 14 degrees can be reached here.
• Modern refrigerators sometimes have a special zone in which a temperature of 0 ° C is reached. This zone is then specially marked.
• So-called no-frostdevices distribute the cold with fans so that there are no different temperature zones. The organizing systems do not have to address the needs of the food here.

Correct refrigerator temperature - this is how you store your food optimally

The refrigerator is indispensable for keeping food fresh and cooling. …

The right organization system

• In normal refrigerators with the usual temperature zones, the compartment directly above the glass plate is the coldest at around 2 ° C. Perishable foods such as meat, fish and the like are stored here.
• The top compartment is much warmer at around 6 ° C. Cooked dishes and jams can be stored here.
• In between, most other foods such as yogurt or cheese are properly placed.
• The vegetable drawer bears its name rightly. Vegetables that should not be stored at room temperature find the best place in the compartment at around 8 ° C.
• The door is the right place for butter and eggs, which do not necessarily have to be refrigerated because they have a long shelf life anyway. The only important thing is that you do not first store eggs in a colder compartment and then rearrange them. Once eggs have been chilled, they should stay at that temperature.
• In addition, you should make sure to always move fresh purchases backwards. This will prevent older foods from being forgotten and spoiled.
• If you share the refrigerator with several people, it can be useful to record the organization system with small signs in the refrigerator. So nothing gets mixed up.
