To keep food fresh, the refrigerator is a practical solution chosen by most people in Indonesia. By storing in a refrigerator, food will have a longer shelf life, including keeping fruits and vegetables fresh for longer.
However, there are several rules to consider when putting food into the refrigerator. One of which is that hot food should not be directly stored in the refrigerator, but we need to wait until it cools down and then we can store it.
Why shouldn’t we put hot food in refrigerator?
In fact, there are several reasons why hot food shouldn’t directly be put into the refrigerator, some of which are:
- Due to its high temperature, the burden of the refrigerator to cool or lower the temperature of the food will increase. This condition will cause the electricity burden to surge.
- The food cooling process will take longer because the refrigerator needs to lower the temperature of the food to normal before cooling it further.
- Hot food that is directly cooled will cause substantial water vapor. Well, this vapor can cause frost in the evaporator.
- Not just causing frost in the evaporator, the vapor coming from the food can cause an unpleasant odor in the refrigerator.
