are not keeping as long as they should and that you could risk food borne illnesses. Properly packing food into your freezer is important also. Until all items are thoroughly frozen, you should scatter them in the freezer. Stacking several items on top of each other before they are frozen could potentially stop them from completely freezing.
When completely done with a refrigerator or you are going to be away for a long period of time, you should empty it completely, clean it thoroughly, unplug it and leave the doors open. If you are looking to discard an older model refrigerator, check with local churches or organizations to see if they would like a donation. Your model may be much newer than the ones they currently use. You should not just dump your old refrigerator into a landfill either. Check with your local recycler for an appliance disposal center. As you can see, in today’s market there is a huge variety of
refrigerators and new features available. These features were developed to make your storage more efficient and your goods easily accessible. Some will even keep fresh produce, fruit, cheeses, etc. fresher longer. Take your time to shop for the perfect upgrade for your household. Be certain to measure your space and to make sure, if you are changing models, that you have adequate clearance for the doors to open. The ability to manage and store your groceries is important, so pay attention to the shelf and bin space compared to the shapes and sizes of your normal containers. A new upgraded refrigerator will not only make your kitchen happy, it will make your family happy as well.
