Everybody needs a refrigerator that is great for storing food and drinks! It can help you stretch your food dollar further, improve the quality of your diet, and make it easier to prepare fast, healthy meals.
Refrigerators keep food safe by slowing down the reproduction of bacteria. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the “Danger Zone,”. What is the Danger Zone, you ask? It’s the temperature range of 40°F (4°C) to 140°F (60°C). This is the zone in which most foodborne bacteria multiply quickest, such as those that cause botulism and salmonella poisoning.
The average family wastes $1500 a year by throwing away spoiled food, and that’s if they only waste one out of every ten meals they prepare! Food in the refrigerator can also be kept longer than food in a cool, dark cupboard.
How do refrigerators work?
Refrigerators keep food cold in several different ways. A compressor chills coils in the back, which are then pumped through the refrigerator. This condenser releases heat into the air outside your fridge. A fan blows cold air over the coils to circulate it throughout the refrigerator.
Now that we have a better idea of how a refrigerator works, let’s discuss why it is so essential for you and your family to get one!
It would be best if you got a refrigerator for these three critical things:
Storing Food
Whether you buy food in bulk or eat out, there’s a lot of money to be saved by buying groceries and prepared foods when they’re on sale. However, if food isn’t properly stored when it’s put away in your refrigerator or freezer, then that money goes to waste.
Saving Money
By storing food that can be eaten again or recooked can save money. For example, if you cook a whole chicken and eat one portion of it for dinner, keep the rest of the breast meat to eat cold in a salad or sandwich later.
A Healthy Diet
Refrigerators allow for plenty of food storage and help to ensure that your purchases stay fresh longer. You can cook more, which reduces the need for processed foods with high sodium and preservatives—a healthier diet is linked to a lower risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.
To sum it up, getting your own refrigerator, even the most simple ones, can help you save money, eat healthier and extend the life of your food. You should really consider getting one for yourself!
