Possibly the fridge is the space in our kitchen that we go to the most during the day. Whether it is to eat, have a snack or have lunch, opening the refrigerator door means being able to get hold of any food that we have stored and, in turn, preserve it correctly. Something similar happens with the freezer, vital to keep food in optimal terms for months and without losing its nutritional properties. Now, the culprit that food is preserved in optimal conditions is none other than the temperature at which we have the refrigerator and freezer. Do you know how many degrees you should put both appliances?
Having the ideal temperature is a sine qua non condition for food to be perfectly preserved and thus prevent the proliferation of pathogens in food. Experts recommend keeping the refrigerator around 4ºC. For its part, the temperature of the freezer should be around -18ºC. Of course, if your fridge does not have many products stored, you can raise the temperature a bit to save on the electricity bill. This is stated by the brand specialized in Bosch household appliances: "When the refrigerator does not store many products, you can raise it a few degrees to save something in consumption".
In addition to having the right degrees, it is advisable to maintain good use of the fridge and freezer for proper conservation.
The fridge is a decisive appliance when it comes to being able to feed ourselves correctly. To ensure that it is in good condition, it is advisable to check it regularly.
