Not every hostess has the opportunity to go to the market every day and buy fresh meat. Therefore, it is bought 1 time and at once a lot. As a result, some of these products have to be frozen, while a part of the taste qualities is lost and the preparation period for cooking is lengthened. The decision of this problem was taken by manufacturers of cooling devices. This led to the fact that in the refrigerators of different brands there was a zone of freshness with a constant zero temperature and the humidity that is optimal for storage.
Why do we need such a zone of freshness, and what are its varieties, let's try to understand this article.
Functions of the freshness zone in the refrigerator
The freshness zone is a tightly closed compartment, with a temperature close to 0 ° C. This indicator was chosen not by chance. After all, it is under such conditions that fresh foods, such as vegetables, fruits and meat, retain their taste and useful properties for the longest. Such a system for storing fresh products was created by the German company Liebherr and was named BioFresh. After a while, other manufacturers of refrigerators have similar cameras, only they are called in another way: Siemens has Vita Fresh, Indesit has Flex Cool, and Electrolux has Natura Fresh.
Types of freshness zones
Manufacturers of refrigerators for different products have created optimal conditions for storage. Therefore, the freshness zone is dry or wet. In the first you should store steamed meat, fish, cheeses and sausages, and in the second - greens, vegetables and fruits. This division is simply necessary, because it allows you not to become worn and not to be saturated with water first, while the latter will retain their juiciness.
In which models of the refrigerator there is a zone of freshness?
On sale you can find two-chamber and three-compartment refrigerators with
Also there are refrigerators with adjustable freshness zone, such as Liebherr SBSes 7053. They can put the temperature you need in this compartment on your own.
If you want to be able to keep meat or vegetables fresh, then choosing a refrigerator, pay attention to the fact that the freshness zone is a well-closed shelf or a separate chamber, and not a transparent box that can be put anywhere.
