Refrigerators

The ideal refrigerator temperature range is 1°-4.5°C (34°-40°F) . Bacterial and mold growth are considerably slowed down at these temperatures, thus retarding food spoilage. Since water freezes at 0°C (32°F), this prevents fresh foods from freezing, although when the temperature is at the low end of the range, some areas in the refrigerator may be below the freezing point.

because when food is refrigerated it prevents bacteria from growing on your food, bacteria that can harm you, or kill you!

Sometimes your refrigerators temperature may vary. This is likely due to the amount of food inside. If the refrigerator is freezing your food it is too cold. Adjust the refrigerator's thermostat to a lower numeric setting on the control so that the temperature is steady at 38 degrees.

According to most cookbooks, Tiramisu should be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for at least 6 hours.

As good as gold for a day or two, and then they start talking back to you again and you have to shove them back in the fridge until they get good and scared.

The storage time for dried legumes for food is essentially unlimited, provided they are kept dry.

However, if intended as seed stock for planting, then a couple of years would be a good limit.

A walk-in refrigerator is mostly used in restaurants as opposed to residential use. It is large like a walk-in closet and is used as the main cold storage area. The crucial component to the walk-in is that the temperature should remain at a steady 41 degrees F.

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.

If bought commercially, the can should have a printed expiration date on one of the two flat sides. If it does not, note that most canned foods last at least six months in the refridgerator, and up to a year, though eating year-old creamed corn wouldn't be recommended.

Hotpoint brand refrigerators are sold at a variety of retail locations and online stores. Lowe's, Sears, Best Buy, Home Depot, and the official Hotpoint website, for example, each sell these products.

I bought butterball turkey today Nov 19th and it was completely thawed. Can I refreeze it? Or can I keep it in the refrigerator until Thursday, which is 5 days from now. I don`t know how long it was thawed before I bought it.

Previous Answer: Yes they do. They rot as fast as meat and fish.

True Answer: No, that is blatantly false. Meat rots very rapidly and under room temperature conditions. My grandparents who had laying hens used to keep their fresh eggs on the counter, and they didn't have air conditioning. Their eggs never went bad. It would take at LEAST a week to rot an egg at room temperature from fresh, probably about a week from the store (because they're a bit older when they get to you). If you can rot a raw egg as fast as you can rot a steak on the counter, you should start buying eggs at another store.

Either it is baked or uncooked, it can't be both.

Yes if its not cooked properly, or if it is contaminated. Generally, smoked ham is safer than uncooked ham. Bacteria from outside can contaminate any food.

1970s refrigerators were very attractively styled, modern appliances that could be purchased in colors such as avocado green, coppertone brown and harvest gold, in addition to plain white. The refrigerator door handles were often sleek chrome or chrome with wood grain applique. Some units were side by side models and others were conventional freezer on top and refrigerator below. The interiors featured modern shelves with chrome trim. Some models had the optional ice maker in the freezer unit and others had an optional ice water compartment built into the front door . Almost all were automatic frost free models by 1970. Kitchen appliances were much more colorful in the 1970s than they are today. In the 1990s and 2000's, only plain white or stainless steel are the choices in refrigerators (and ranges and dishwashers) where as in the 1970s one could have matched an avocado green, coppertone brown or harvest gold refrigerator to the same color as the kitchen range, dishwasher and even the washer and dryer.

It doesn't lose its fizz in any kind of temperature, because when you shake it up, there is already a certain amount of carbon dioxide that exists within the confines of the pop, and the fizz is the release of the carbon dioxide when being trapped in bubbles. It solely depends upon how much carbon dioxide exists within the pop.

The weight of freon should be listed on the "info sticker" inside the fridge door. You'll probably have to braze an access port (saddle tap) onto the low side, and vacuum out the system before charging.

Remove all food and keep in a cold place. Best to do this when your fridge/freezer is nearly empty. Switch off at socket and leave the doors open to let the freezer defrost. You sometimes get a plastic scraper with fridge/freezers to help you scrape off the ice. If you don't have one try the one you get to scrape your windscreen on your car just don't use anything metal as you will scrape the lining - not good. Once defrosted, mop up any water and close freezer door. For the fridge, a lot of the drawers, door compartements and shelfs will come out and you can wash these in warm soapy water. You can wash out the inside of the fridge with a cloth and warm soapy water as well. My tip though is to use toothpaste. Use it like you would use a cream cleanser - put a little bit on a damp cloth and rub over the surfaces. Clean off with a clean damp cloth. Not only will it clean but it gets rid of any bad odours too!! Once it is all clean, close doors and switch back on. Good luck.

Yes.

It shouldn't be necessary to 'cook' it again, it should be enough to reheat it. Just make sure that the inside is heated through.

This food will keep for about 4 days in the refrigerator. Place the food in an air tight container for the best results. This food can easily be transferred to the freezer for longer storage time.

This food will only last a few days. 3 days in the refrigerator if the food is stored properly. Place in an air tight container for the best results. You can transfer the food to the freezer if longer storage is needed.

A lot depends on how closely you watch the temperature in the refrigerator.

Food Safety teaches that food should be kept below 40F or above 140F. Most people do NOT check the temperature in the refrigerator. Do NOT trust built in thermometers. Get a good reliable thermometer. Some will record trends for a few weeks so you KNOW your food is at the proper temperature.

Raw chicken can stay fresh in a fridge up to 2 days. The chicken has to stay in the fridge and then immediately cooked.

Your refrigerator thermostat is set too low. Put a thermometer in your refrigerator and check that the thermostat is working. If you have a dial type, set it in the middle...either 3 or 5 depending on the calebration of your model. The temperature in your crisper should be about 45-50 degrees. That's the reason it's at the lowest point in your refrigerator. Another reason might be that you don't have enough stuff in the fridge. It is a fact that the unit will work more efficiently if it has more in it. Use water as a space filler.
