Why Should We Care About Temperature?

• Freshness

First, for retaining freshness of food. We all know that if the temperature is too high, food will go bad even in the kitchen freezer. When we don't think the temperature in the fresh-keeping room is low enough, we put food into the commercial kitchen freezer.

On the one hand, it indeed prevent food form spoilage, on the other hand, when we defrost the food, especially raw meat and vegetable, a lot of water will come out—Ice crystals produced in the freezing process puncture cell membranes, resulting in a large loss of nutrients.

Therefore, freezing does not keep food fresh, it can only inhibit the breeding of bacteria. The process of freezing just plays a role in preservation inside the kitchen freezer.

• Finance

Both of family kitchen refrigerator and restaurants refrigerator kitchens temperature control knob generally have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 five levels, or 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 level. Stop block here is 0. Forced cooling level is 5, 6, 7. For controlling the lower temperature of the compressor, the commercial kitchen freezer can continuously work,almost always in a state of non-stop.

In summer, the environment temperature is higher, if the thermostat knob on 3 or more than 3. In order to meet the requirements of the temperature, the compressor of commercial kitchen freezer is working long time, while the temperature of the freezer is more lower than 18 degrees below zero, the temperature of the freezer is low, but it is a waste of electricity, shortening the service life of the refrigerator.

This is also what we don't want to see. For the family it is maybe a small expense, but for restaurants refrigerator kitchens, it will be a huge expense.

What Temperature Should A Kitchen Freezer Be?

The most suitable temperature of kitchen freezers depends on seasons to a large degree. It’s quite amazing, right? Even the most innovate invention is also affected by the power of nature. Even the most intelligent kitchen refrigerator manufacturers can’t deal with the problems of seasons.

• Spring

2-3 level is the best level of temperature.

Spring temperature rises slowly, the temperature of most area is close to 20 degrees or so more. At this moment we need to shift the switch of freezer from the 4, 5 archives in winter to the position of 2, 3 archives to meet the demand of food temperature of spring.

• Summer

1-2 level is the best level of temperature.

Summer temperature is high, the internal temperature of the commercial kitchen refrigerator will be affected, the correct adjustment of the temperature range can save electricity. The kitchen freezer has a temperature range from zero to seven, but in the summer, it can be shifted to 1-2 level, which can save electricity and  keep better refrigerate fresh food.

• Autumn

3-4 level is the best level of temperature.

• Winter

5-7 level is the best level of temperature.

Due to the low temperature of winter, temperature control of kitchen freezer can be adjusted in 5-7, generally around 2-4 degrees temperature.

Because environment temperature is too low, heat faster does not have the function of automatic winter temperature switch of refrigerator below 16 degrees ambient temperature. You need to use strong file or switch on low temperature compensation to ensure the refrigerator open probability and refrigeration effect, or it will cause the kitchen refrigerator does not boot or thawing phenomenon.

What Temperature Is Most Suitable For Different Food?

• Fresh fish

Three degrees below zero.

• Meat

Meat can be refrigerated at 2 to 5 degrees for up to a week.

• Alcohol

The most suitable temperature for alcohol is 5 degrees to 20 degrees.

• Milk

The optimum temperature for fresh milk refrigeration is 2 degrees to 4 degrees.

• Tea leaf

Tea leaf stored at -20 degrees to -10 degrees can prevent the quality from deteriorating for a long time and keep the vitamins from being damaged.

• Egg

Being stored below 15 degrees, eggs are not prone to spoilage.

In a word, the most suitable temperature for kitchen freezer depends on the seasons and kinds of food. It do have significance to pay attention to this problem, for the purpose to help food stay perfect and avoid the waste of electric,which is important for family and kitchen refrigerator manufacturers.
