Many housewives have a habit of filling the refrigerator to capacity.
At first glance, this seems like the right strategy: it’s good when a family has a decent supply of food and access to meals prepared in advance.
However, there is one nuance that, unfortunately, is not taken into account by many people.
Thus, an overfilled refrigerator experiences increased stress.
In addition, products that are stored too tightly begin to spoil faster.
Why You Shouldn't Fill Your Refrigerator "To the Rim"
An overcrowded refrigerator does not have room for cold air to circulate freely, which means that food does not cool as well.
In addition, humidity increases. In other words, conditions arise for the appearance of mold and dangerous microorganisms.
Of course, all this does not contribute to the long-term storage of food products.
Thus, a housewife who wants to create a good supply of food will achieve the opposite result if she overfills the refrigerator. The food will spoil, the supplies will disappear, and new expenses will appear.
And a refrigerator filled to capacity begins to work harder. It is possible that due to the increased load it will simply break down.
There is another important point: it will be more difficult for the housewife to clean an overcrowded device.
To avoid any problems, do not fill the refrigerator more than 70 percent full.
Earlier we listed foods that should not be left in the refrigerator.
