Where would we be without fridges and freezers? Living in a very expensive and wasteful world, that’s where! Think about it, when you do your weekly shopping, you buy in bulk or what food you’ll be using in the next few days. When you get home you put the shelved items in the cupboards and pantry, your milk, yogurts, fruits and vegetable go in the fridge to keep them fresh until needed, and your goodies like frozen steaks, chicken, fish, ice cream go into the freezer to help them stay frozen.
When you cook dinner, what ever is left over is put into a container or bowl and put in the fridge for the next day. Without fridges and freezers, we wouldn’t be able to store anything, so you would only be able to buy the cold things you would use that day, and everything left over would more than likely have to be thrown away at the end of that day, possibly making it to the next morning, but highly unlikely!
The best part about these life changing inventions is the different shapes and sizes they come in, so you can easily find one to suit your needs. If your moving into or living in a small house, you can find a space saving two in one, where the freezer section in on top and the fridge down the bottom. Also, if you have small children that love getting their hands into the ice cream container, you could hide it on a very high shelf where they can’t reach, so possibly giving you the upper hand resulting in them eating more healthy things such as carrots or peas.
However if you have a big kitchen with large space for the fridge you can always go for one of the new two door designs, where one door opens up to reveal the fridge and swing the other door open for the freezer. This brilliant invention provides a huge amount of space, not limited by an attached fridge or freezer compartment. For people that like having things separate, you can buy a range of stand alone fridges and freezers, of all different shapes and sizes. These kinds of fridge freezers are usually the ones used by shop owners, having their drinks displayed in the front fridges and their foods in the freezer compartments out the back.
For a simple home owner looking for more room and more space, individual stand alone fridges and freezers can be bought. Most households these days have a combined fridge freezer in the kitchen, for convenience, and either one or two more stand alone freezers located around the house, usually in the garage or laundry rooms.
If you’re an ‘independent’ teenager or student that needs their own supply fridge, the most commonly used one is a bar fridge. This is a perfect size for midnight snacks, soft drinks or water, your supply of energy drinks that you’ll need to keep you going to finish that assignment or study for that exam. You can even hide your home cooked meals from mum, or just to make sure that you’re not made fun of or if you don’t want to be stolen by your room mate.
There are multiple designs, all invented to keep the buyer happy. These can be for picking a temporary cheap fridge or the perfect addition to your brand new home. If your old fridge packs up, it may be a good idea to remember that its not about the price tag hanging off the side of it but of the quality of the item.
