The refrigerator has now become an indispensable household appliance in our lives, and the utilization rate is very high all year round. Although the current refrigerator design is very reasonable and divided into several compartments, in order to make all kinds of ingredients not smell and more hygienic, it is still necessary to pay more attention when storing, so today I will share with you the common misunderstandings of using refrigerators, let's take a look!
Myth: Vegetables and fruits are put together
Many people know that meat and vegetables should be separated, but they don't think that vegetables and fruits are also better separated. Some of our common fruits, such as apples and mangoes, continue to produce ethylene (an ingredient released by the fruit itself to help it ripen itself) after harvest.
Although low temperature will inhibit the secretion of ethylene, when put together with other vegetables, ethylene will still make other vegetables and fruits spoil faster, which is not conducive to preservation. These fruits that easily release ethylene also include bananas, avocados, peaches, etc. It is recommended that these fruits be sealed and stored separately from vegetables.
Myth: Put eggs in the refrigerator after washing
There is a gelatinous film on the surface of the egg, which can prevent the bacteria from entering the inside of the egg and protect the egg. Washing eggs will destroy the membrane on the surface, which will make it easier for bacteria from the outside to enter the bacteria. In addition, salmonella (a common bacterium that causes diarrhoea) may be present on the surface of the egg, and the washing process may contaminate the cooktop.
After the eggs are bought home, just put them in the refrigerator in time, seal them with a fresh-keeping bag or crisper box, and put a separate layer. If it's really uncomfortable to look at the chicken poop on the eggshell, you can buy a cleaned egg that has already been processed.
Myth: Throw the meat you buy home and throw it in the refrigerator
Animal foods such as meat and seafood are often more likely to carry pathogenic bacteria, and if they are not sealed and put in the refrigerator, it may lead to cross-transmission of bacteria and contaminate other foods such as vegetables, fruits, steamed bread, noodles and other foods in the refrigerator. In particular, beware of listeria monocytogenes, which is not afraid of the cold. Listeria monocytogenes is different from our common bacteria that spoil food, it can live for a long time under low temperature conditions, and after infection, people will have symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, nausea, diarrhea, etc., and even develop meningitis and sepsis in severe cases, which is life-threatening.
If the meat you buy back, if it is packaged in plastic packaging, don't open it and put it in the refrigerator directly; But if you buy loose meat, be sure to seal it before putting it in the refrigerator.
1. Don't stuff too much stuff on the machine.
Although you can store a lot of food in the fridge, make sure you don't buy too much. In other words, you don't want to pack your device to the maximum limit.
The problem with this approach is that it tends to put too much burden on the machine. It consumes a lot of energy to prevent items from spoiling. This can significantly increase the amount of your utility bill. Therefore, it is better to get rid of some excess items and give the fridge a break.
2. Don't forget to clean the appliances.
It is common for refrigerators to have leaks and spills. Therefore, you should make it a habit to clean up the mess as soon as possible. The important thing here is to clean the device properly.
According to FDA recommendations, cleaning your refrigerator should be part of your kitchen cleaning routine. Cleaning was very easy. What you need to do is mix a small amount of bleach with water. Once the solution is ready, you should perform a cleaning.
Sometimes, the unit doesn't seem to function properly. Usually, this happens when the ring gets dirty and needs to be cleaned. When the coil looks dirty or full of dust, it is important to clean it. Don't forget to unplug the coil before cleaning the coil with a brush again.
3. Don't set the temperature too low.
Some homeowners leave the refrigerator door open for a while. They will have the temperature too low to compensate. Although there is no harm in doing so, keep in mind that you may forget to restore your settings.
Making the temperature too low will require the machine to work harder, which consumes more energy. As a result, you will have to pay more money to pay for your electricity bill. If you want to lower the settings, make sure to lower them gradually. With gradual adjustments, everything will be fine.
4. Do not store hot food in the appliance.
These units are designed to withstand a little heat. However, they can't tolerate anything that's too hot. Therefore, it is not a good idea to put a lot of hot soup in the appliance.
In fact, when you release heat in a device, the temperature inside the device increases. According to professionals, when the temperature inside the device exceeds a certain temperature, the growth of bacteria begins to increase significantly. As a result, their food inside the unit is infected with bacteria.
