Learn How Proper Fridge Temperatures Make A Difference In The Freshness Of Your Food

Never worry about food spoiling now that you can pinpoint the perfect temperature for both your fridge and freezer

 

There is a reason why the fridge and freezer are set at a certain temperature, and that is because food such as various meats and vegetables can only be stored safely at specific temperatures for long periods of time. Even being a few degrees off can severely impact the health and safety of your family due to bacteria that may be present at that temperature.

 

Step by Step

How To: Ensure Your Fridge and Freezer Are At The Right Temperature

 

+Open the fridge door.

+Look at the temperature display.

+The fridge side of the appliance should be at 37 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 3 degrees Celsius.

+The freezer side of the appliance should be at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or about minus 17 degrees Celsius.

+On the fridge side, you want to make sure that food is in no danger of freezing so it is above 0 degrees Celsius but under 5 degrees Celsius. As food stored at over 5 degrees Celsius will begin to spoil.

+On the freezer side you need to ensure that food cannot defrost, as this is when bacteria will grow and spoil the food.

+On the temperature display, set the appropriate temperature for the fridge and the freezer.

+Close the door.
