Freezing a banana will all but stop the ripening process. Keeping a banana in the refrigerator section will retard but not stop the ripening process.

The skin turns brown or black in the refrigerator and the freezer, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more. In fact, it is recommended that ripened bananas be frozen to preserve them even longer. The cold temperature of a refrigerator encourages an enzyme (polyphenyl oxidase), which is naturally found in the banana, to polymerise phenols in the banana skin into polyphenols. Polyphenols are similar to melanin, the pigment responsible for the color in our skin. This is what blackens the skin of the bananas. Despite the color, the cold temperature will keep bananas firmer than a banana that has been left at room temperature for the same amount of time. The enzymes that break the starch into sugar, which makes the banana soft and ripe, work better at room temperature.

If you want to store uncooked hamburger meat for a month you put it in the freezer rather than a refrigerator?

Uncooked hamburger would spoil if you tried to store it for a month in a refrigerator, so it needs to go in the freezer.


Why is there a light in your refrigerator but not in your freezer?

Because of the very low temperature inside a freezer, the sudden temperature change in the bulb when it switches on would make it pop.


Why are freezer on top of fridge?

One possible reason is because of the size of the freezer compared to the size of the refrigerator portion. If the refrigerator portion were placed over the freezer, then you would have to kneel down to use the freezer. Another part of it could pertain to convection. Cold air tends to circulate down. So with the right amount of gap between the freezer portion and the rest, just enough cold air can flow down to cool the refrigerator. So the evaporator coils are only in the freezer and yet can cool the entire unit. If the evaporator coils were on the bottom, then only the lower portion of the refrigerator would be cool since heat rises, and some of the cavity space would be wasted. So for simplicity and efficiency, the coils are placed on top and that this area is made the freezer. So they cool only the freezer and have a small opening to let the cold air come down (or warm air to come up to be more accurate) to reach the 34-38 degrees Fahrenheit needed for the refrigerator. Sometimes there is an adjustable damper there. The thermostat is just for the refrigerator in most cases, since if the refrigerator is within proper range, the freezer would be too, all because of the design. On those with a control for the freezer, that control generally moves a little damper (door). So the colder you set the freezer, the harder you are making the refrigerator portion to cool. Since the actual thermostat is located in the refrigerator section, the longer the compressor must run to make that compartment the proper temperature when you close the damper (by setting the freezer control colder).

What is the temperature of a refrigerator freezer?

Refrigerators should be set at 40°F maximum.


What if it was frozen when you put it in the refrigerator?

It would eventually cool to the ambient temperature of the refrigerator which is warmer than a freezer. Therefore it would reduce to being chilled rather than frozen, effectively defrosting, but slower than it would have done outside the refrigerator


Which type of refrigerator freezer is most energy efficient?

Top-freezer refrigerators are generally the most energy efficient type compared to bottom-freezer and side-by-side models. This is because the freezer compartment is located above the refrigerator section, allowing cold air to stay in the freezer and prevent warm air from entering the refrigerator. Additionally, models with an Energy Star rating are designed to be more energy efficient overall.
