KEEP IT COOL
During the holidays, the refrigerator is
the workhorse of household appliances.
Here's a smart tip to make sure it stays in
tip-top shape.
Let food cool prior to putting it in
the refrigerator.
The refrigerator is meant to keep things
cool, so placing hot or warm food inside
shouldn't be a big deal, right? Wrong!
When hot food is added to the fridge,
the food's warm temperature heats
the air around it, which makes the
compressor work overtime to cool the
air. Overworked compressor equals
shorter life span for your fridge.
So, when you're ready to put away those
holiday leftovers, make sure they're cool
before you transfer them to the fridge
for the night.
