Do you know? Too much food in the refrigerator and improperly place it will affect consumption. If you are not careful, it will expire and rot. The refrigerator is just a "fresh box" rather than a "safe box". We should try our best to make reasonable use of the space in the box according to the food storage time and temperature requirements.

Correct use of refrigerator:

Refrigerator (fresh preservation layer)

First of all, it needs to be clear that the temperatures in different locations of refrigerator refrigerators are different. Generally speaking, the upper layer has a lower temperature than the lower layer, and the door is at its highest temperature and the temperature is the lowest near the rear wall. Therefore, the food in the refrigerator should be placed clearly up, down, front and back.

❶For example, after washing fruits and vegetables, they should be placed in the lower floor of the refrigerator or in a special fruit and vegetable box as much as possible;

❷Food food should be placed around the back wall of the upper layer;

❸Eggs should be placed in the middle floor of the refrigerator;

❹Milk should be placed in the upper floor of the refrigerator;

❺Some foods that are not easy to break can be placed in the door stall, beverages, condiments after opening.

Free chamber

Generally, there are relatively few types of foods that need to be stored in the freezer for a long time. When using them, you can partition them according to the type of food stored by layer, and try to store the same food on the same layer. If different foods are needed to be stored on one layer, the foods should be separated to avoid squeezing each other.

❶The upper layer is generally a quick freezing grid, with a low temperature and a fast freezing speed, such as quick freezing dumplings, wontons, etc.

❷The intermediate layer is suitable for foods that do not require long-term heating, such as steamed buns, bread, buns, ice cream, etc.

lower layer, add frozen fish, raw meat, seafood, etc., so that raw and cooked should be separated to avoid cross infection.
