How To Know The Freshness of Your Refrigerator

Understanding the freshness of your refrigerator is very important. It's the whole reason you bought the appliance! To keep your food safe from speedy spoil. On this page I will show you how to know if a refrigerator will keep your food from spoiling too soon.

Here's an example, certain foods such as fruits, need to be in a more dry environment; while on the other hand, vegetables need to be in a more humid climate. Meanwhile, meat and cheeses need to stay very cold. So a big cold box that kept the same climate throughout the entire thing wouldn't do your produce much good or your meats and cheeses much good either.

For these reasons refrigerators now have climate controlled drawers to maintain the freshness of whatever food is placed inside of it. You can adjust the climate of each drawer depending upon what types of foods you have inside of them. This means longer lasting produce which means more money in your pocket from not having to make trips to the grocery store which leads to less fuel and time consumed. You would have never thought an up-to-date refrigerator would save you so much!

Another thing that contributes to the longevity of foods are the sensors located throughout a refrigerator. A good fridge should have AT LEAST 5 sensors located throughout itself. These sensors monitor the temperature in various places within the fridge. Traditionally, you would have 1 sensor, this was not a good thing because like we learned earlier, certain foods need certain climates. Let’s say for example you had one sensor in your current fridge, and the temperature raises in your refrigerator section; this would activate the compressor to send cold air to the refrigerator AND the freezer, resulting in more energy used, and the over-freezing of foods in the freezer section which causes freezer burn.

The machine won’t send cold air into the freezer until the temperature rises in the refrigerator. Ever wonder why it looks as though your ice cream has melted and re-froze? Well, here's the culprit, the lack of sensors in your fridge! Refrigerators with at least 5 sensors are less likely to have ANY frost on them at all while in the freezer. Which results in several things, less energy consumed, less money spent on groceries, less money spent on fuel to drive to the grocery store, fresher food, and better tasting food. I would say that’s one heck of a benefit!
