Refrigerator is a good place to store food in our life. But there has always been a debate about storing food in the refrigerator: can hot food be put in the refrigerator? Some people think that putting hot food in the refrigerator will damage the refrigerator, reduce its service life, and also cause corruption of other foods inside the refrigerator, so it should be placed outside the refrigerator to cool before putting it in the refrigerator; Others think that putting hot food in the refrigerator is good for killing bacteria on food. At first glance, it all makes sense, so what is better to do?

The answer is simple, because putting very hot food directly in the refrigerator has three disadvantages:

1. will affect the life of the refrigerator. Because the normal temperature of the refrigerator freezer is 6. Between C and 8℃, if you put high-temperature food directly into the refrigerator, the temperature of the refrigerator will rise rapidly, and water vapor will also be generated, which will condense on the cold plate, quickly frost and solidify into ice, which will affect the service life of the refrigerator and the effect of refrigeration.

2. Power consumption. When you put hot things in the refrigerator, it is equivalent to bringing more heat into the refrigerator. The refrigerator needs to "work" to lower the temperature, which will consume electricity and increase the burden on the refrigerator.

3. You deliberately cause food to go bad. When you put high-temperature food into the freezer, the surface of these high-temperature foods will freeze quickly when they meet cold air, which is equivalent to covering the food with a thick armor, so that the inside of the food cannot be completely frozen, so that the inside of the food is easy to breed microorganisms such as bacteria and deteriorate. If food with high temperature is put into the refrigerator, the temperature of the refrigerator will also rise rapidly, which will increase the chances of bacterial reproduction and lead to the deterioration of other foods.

Therefore, it is best to cool the food before putting it in the refrigerator. If you want to freeze the food, it is best to put it in the freezer first, then put it in the freezer.
