In commercial scenarios such as catering and retail, refrigerators are important equipment to ensure the freshness of food. However, if used improperly, it will not only affect the quality of food, but may also bring safety hazards. Only by mastering scientific preservation methods can refrigerators truly play their value. The following are five key points to pay attention to when using commercial refrigerators:
1. Reasonable partition storage
Different foods have different temperature requirements, and refrigerators should be stored in different areas. For example, fresh meat and seafood require lower temperatures, while dairy products and beverages can be placed in areas with slightly higher temperatures. Avoid mixing cooked food with raw food to prevent cross contamination.
2. Control the storage volume and keep air circulation
The food in the refrigerator should not be too full, otherwise it will affect the circulation of cold air, resulting in uneven temperatures in some areas and accelerating food deterioration. It is recommended to reserve at least 30% of the space to ensure that the cold air can evenly cover all ingredients.
3. Regular defrosting and cleaning
Too thick frost will reduce refrigeration efficiency and increase power consumption. Regular defrosting can not only improve the performance of the refrigerator, but also reduce the growth of bacteria. At the same time, clean the cabinet at least once a week to avoid residual stains or odors that affect the quality of food.
4. Reduce frequent door opening
Frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator will cause temperature fluctuations and affect the preservation of food. It is recommended to plan the pick-up and put-down process to reduce unnecessary door opening times. For places with large traffic, you can consider using display cabinets with transparent doors to facilitate customers to browse and reduce the loss of cold air.
5. Regularly check the status of the equipment
The key components of the refrigerator, such as the sealing strip and refrigeration system, will gradually age with use. Regularly check whether the door seal is tight and the refrigeration is uniform. If problems are found, repair them in time to avoid food spoilage due to equipment failure.
The reasonable use of commercial refrigerators can not only extend the shelf life of food, but also reduce operating costs. Through scientific zoning, control of storage volume, regular maintenance and other measures, the preservation effect of the refrigerator can be maximized, providing more reliable protection for your business.
