TEMPERATURE

WHAT IS TEMPERATURE?

 is an objective measurement of how hot or cold

an object is.
It can be measured with a thermometer or a
calorimeter.
It means of determining the internal energy
contained within a given system.
 TEMPERATURE IN REFRIGERATOR
But the temperature controls on
many refrigerators only allow you to
close from a series of members say,
from 1 to 5, with 1 being the coldest
and 5 the warmest.
 WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD A
REFRIGERATOR BE?
However, the ideal refrigerator temperature is
actually lower: Aim to stay between 35 degree
and 38 degree fahrenheit (or 1.7 to 3.3 degree
celsius). This temperature range is as close as
you can get to freezing without being so cold
your food will freeze.
 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR FRIDGE COOL
 LET FOOD COOL BEFORE PUTTING IN THE FRIDGE
To protect everything in your fridge, let foods cool
for a bit( but not to room temperature- that will
take too long) before covering and storing in the
fridge.
 CHECK THE DOOR SEALS
Gasket’s around the edge of a refrigerator door
to keep the cold temps and the warmer temps
out. If there’s a leak in one of those gaskets, your
cold air maybe scaping.
 That can make cooling the fridge properly
more difficult(and use up more electricity,
boosting your monthly electric bill).
 STOP OPENING THE DOOR SO MUCH
Every time you open the refrigerator door, you
let the cold air out and the warm air in. Resist
the temptation to stand at your fridge when
your hungry, searching for a food that will cure
your cravings. Instead, get what you came for,
and shut the door quickly.
 KEEP THE FRIDGE FULL
A full fridge is a happy fridge. The same is true
for your freezer. The refrigerator temperature
can stay longer and keep foods cooled best in
the shelves and drawers mostly full. Just be
sure you don’t overcrowd the space and cut
down on air flow. That can make moving
cooled air difficult and increase the risk of
warm pockets of air.
