Hello, iam Paul Giles, I hope your day goes well.
Well, ain’t that a kick in the pants! My fridge is cold as ice - literally. I guess it’s time to call the repairman. Ugh, I was really hoping to avoid this. Oh well, here we go again!
Is 5 Too Cold For Fridge? [Solved]
So, what’s the right temp for your fridge? The Food Standards Agency recommends keeping it at 5 degrees Celsius or lower. That’s because bacteria can thrive in the ‘danger zone’ between 8 and 63 degrees. Got it?
Temperature: The temperature of a cold fridge should be set between 0-4°C (32-39°F). This is the optimal temperature range for storing food safely and preventing spoilage.
Storage: Foods should be stored in airtight containers or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to prevent moisture from entering the fridge and spoiling food.
Organization: It is important to organize your fridge so that you can easily find what you need when you need it, as well as keep track of expiration dates on food items.
Cleanliness: Regularly clean your fridge with warm water and mild detergent to remove any bacteria or mold that may have accumulated over time, which can cause food spoilage and health risks if consumed.
Maintenance: Check the seals on your refrigerator door regularly to ensure they are still tight and secure, as this will help keep cold air inside the fridge where it belongs instead of escaping into the room outside of it.
My fridge is so cold it’s like a tundra in there! I can’t believe how chilly it is - I’m shivering just thinking about it. It’s definitely not normal; I’d better get a technician to take a look. In the meantime, I’ll have to keep my food in an icebox or something.
