Refrigerators are essential appliances in our daily lives, which can help us preserve food, extend the shelf life of food, and reduce food waste. However, did you know that each location in the refrigerator actually has a different temperature, and if we don't pay attention to the storage method, it may make the food spoiled and even endanger our health?
Recently, a netizen shared his experience on social platforms, which attracted a lot of attention. The netizen said that he has always been Xi to putting milk in the storage grid on the refrigerator door, and he feels that it is very convenient, and he can take it out directly every time he wants to drink it. However, at one point, he found himself taking a sip of milk, which turned out to be sour and had a strange smell. He quickly looked at the shelf life of the milk and found that it had not expired, and did not understand why it had gone bad. He later called the refrigerator's after-sales service, and the worker told him that putting milk on the refrigerator door was a wrong practice, which would cause the milk to spoil and even cause food poisoning.
Why is it so harmful to keep milk on the refrigerator door?It turned out that this was because the temperature on the refrigerator door changed greatly, which was not conducive to the preservation of milk. The temperature inside the refrigerator is uneven, the temperature on the refrigerator door is the highest, and it will change significantly as the refrigerator door opens and closes. When the refrigerator door is just opened, the temperature of the storage compartment on the inside of the door can even be close to room temperature, which is very unfavorable for milk, which will accelerate the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria in milk, causing milk to deteriorate, and produce sour and peculiar smells. Especially large boxes of milk, you often can't drink it all at once after opening, because it will spoil more easily when opened. If we leave the opened milk on the refrigerator door and plan to leave it for two or three days, it is very likely to spoil and even cause food poisoning.
So, how should we store milk and other foods?According to the thermal imaging of the refrigerator, we can know that the temperature inside the refrigerator is the lower the shelf, the lower the temperature, and the lower the temperature of the same layer, the further inside. Therefore, for the storage in the refrigerator room, we should follow a principle: the more perishable the food, the more down and inside. Corresponding to the specific common ingredients are: milk, leftovers, meat, tofu bean bubbles, which are easy to breed bacteria, can be put down to the bottom layer and a little deeper;And vegetables, fruits, which foods will be eaten soon, you can put them in high places and outside.
Inside the refrigerator door, don't be idle, although the temperature in this place is relatively high, it is easy to access, so there is still a lot of room to play. Dry goods, seasonings, drinks, eggs, bean paste, tofu, dried shrimp and other foods are relatively not easy to spoil, and the frequency of picking up is also high, so you can safely store them on the inside of the refrigerator door. In addition, the inside of the refrigerator door can also be used to store skin care products and medicines, which can extend their shelf life and save other space.
How big is the hidden danger of putting milk on the refrigerator door In short, putting milk on the refrigerator door is an undesirable practice that will bring hidden dangers to our health. According to the temperature distribution inside the refrigerator, we should store food reasonably to avoid food spoilage and ensure the freshness and safety of food.
