The fridge light should turn off when you close the door. The light is hot because not all the electricity is turned into light - an awful lot is wasted in the form of heat.
-keeps food cool-has fluid that flows through pipes and cools down so that the fridge is not hot -the warmer area is on the bottom of the fridge
keep it in the fridge
"conduction"
When some objects get hot enough, they glow, given off a faint red light . If they get even hotter, the glow turns into white light. The objects are said to be white light
The problem is, because it's a good insulator. The way a freezer works, you have a load of pipes at the back, you compress a gas in the pump, that makes it hot and loses the heat out of the back of the fridge or freezer. It then pipes this condensed, compressed room temperature gas into the freezer, it then expands, evaporates, gets cold, and so the coldest bits of the fridge are where this expanded gas is flowing through. The problem is that wants to get the heat from the fridge, but if you've got a great big layer of ice, that's going to insulate the cooling part of the fridge from the contents of your fridge, so the fridge is going to be warmer, which means that the actual fridge-freezer is going to work harder to keep cold, which means it gets even colder, it means you get more ice that will build up so it'll go horribly wrong until the fridge just conks out.
Yes, but it will make the food hot.
If the fridge is too hot, it can cause food to spoil more quickly and decrease the overall effectiveness of the appliance. If the fridge is too cold, it can freeze food and potentially damage the items stored within. Maintaining the correct temperature is important for food safety and the efficiency of the fridge.
It can cause bacteria and cause germs to food or drink and could damage your fridge or freezer.
the fridge light! :) <><><> Tobasco Sauce!
It is better to only put hot food into a fridge after it has cooled. A lot of hot food would alter the coolness inside the fridge and cause the motor to start running when it didn't really need to.
Heating food will destroy any pathogens in it. Cooling it back down doesn't cause these pathogens to grow again, but they can if there is a source in the fridge from which they can spread to this new food. Refrigeration is only used to keep food from spoiling for a longer period of time rather than simply leaving it out. It can only encourage bacteria growth if the interior (and food) is cool AND humid.
Do you have any hot sauce in the fridge?
Food does not "spoil" but should never be put into the refrigerator while still hot because bacteria in the food can multiply rapidly and will make you sick. It is always best to place food in a covered container and let it cool down before placing it in the fridge.
Any fridge - or freezer - is designed to keep its contents cold. It does this by taking heat away from its food compartment and pumping it into a radiator panel fixed to its outside. The radiator - either fixed on to the back of the unit or built into its back panel - must get hot because it receives most of the heat taken from the inside and has to lose it into the surrounding air.
Just take out the milk and the chocolate from the fridge. =]
To cool chili con carne or any other hot food for storage in a fridge, you should place the chili in several small containers, and place them directly in the fridge. That you should leave it out to cool at room temperature is a common misconception; that will actually allow bacteria to grow quicker than if the hot food was placed directly in the fridge or freezer.
