Every housewife stores food in the refrigerator in her own way, but there is a certain category of rules that should not be violated.
Quite often, when cooking, we make preparations for the next day and hide them in the refrigerator.
If you think logically, a refrigerator is designed to cool any food.
But you shouldn't put hot things in the refrigerator, as this can cause some problems.
Why you can't have hot things in the refrigerator
Here are some reasons.
- Ice formation. Too much ice can cause equipment failure. Or you will have to constantly knock off the ice and clean the refrigerator.
- High load on the compressor. The higher the temperature, the harder the compressor will work to try to do its job.
- Damage to glass shelves. Due to sudden temperature changes, the strength of such shelves will gradually decrease.
- Deformation of plastic walls. This material also does not tolerate temperature changes well.
