Whoever uses the freezer knows, storing dry goods and meat is too good to use.
Without a vacuum sealer, half of the food would turn into wet garbage.
These days, I think everyone has put a lot of effort into eating. There is also an old saying that "if you want to do a good job, you must first use it", and the "eight-door refrigerator" in the supermarket wants to move directly home.
In fact, a lot of people are already in action. Many people decide to buy a freezer outside the refrigerator and add an "expansion pack" to the refrigerator. The sales of large-capacity refrigerators, vacuum sealing machines, and intelligent vegetable growing machines have also increased visibly.
The vacuum sealer has appeared on Li Jiaqi's live broadcast room twice in the past two months, selling thousands of pieces
If you are also planning to add some "net red home appliances" to yourself, here is a thoughtful shopping guide for you.
Freezer: I don't want to turn my home into a commissary, and opening the door on the side is better than opening the door on the top
How to buy a freezer? For most Shanghai residents, a small new freezer is the right choice.
The highest selling Xiaoice cabinets of breast milk
In this matter, Zhou Zhijun has the experience of lessons learned. At the beginning of the year, the freezer compartment of the refrigerator was filled with frozen breast milk, and the space was in a hurry. The mother volunteered and quickly placed an order for a freezer in Jingdong, which was quickly delivered to the door.
When he saw it, Zhou Zhijun couldn't help but be shocked: "How can it be so big"! Square, stocky, top-open, unsealed design – all indications are standard in commissaries. There is no place to put such a large machine at home, and you can only contact the return. The refund can be refunded, but it cost nearly 100 yuan of freight, which can only be said to be very regretful.
It looks something like this
So, what kind of freezer is worth buying? Consider the following points:
Choose the side door, you can plug the machine into the understage, under the table and other corners;
Choose ones with drawers, storage and retrieval are much more convenient than traditional freezers;
Choose one that can switch between refrigeration and freezing modes, and you'll have a fridge or a freezer;
Air cooling is better in freezing mode, which avoids temperature deviations caused by frost and lower humidity;
The volume is abundant and frugal by people, the middle gear is 100L, the height is about one meter, the minimum gear is 40L, the height is about half a meter, and the storage amount refers to the following figure
All in all, the freezer may be very different from what you think.
Refrigerator: minus 32 ° C quick-freezing, vacuum storage, ultra-thin body... Now the new refrigerator is too "rolled"
Not to stock up on goods, you may not know that there are so many new features in the refrigerator now...
A "refrigerator storage" blogger showed her family's 46,500 yuan refrigerator (Zhou Zhijun once talked about her "one-week preparation method"), and it took 6 minutes to count the supplies, which was very popular in the Little Red Book.
Let's take a look at the differences in this refrigerator. The first is the thin skin and large filling, with the smallest possible volume to achieve a capacity of 735L; vacuum ice temperature zone, which can quickly extract air, inhibit oxidation, suitable for storing salmon, steaks, fruits, etc.; quick-frozen tray, which can be automatically cooled when put into the hot pot, without affecting the surrounding food; dormant preservation area, platinum catalyst can decompose ethylene, increase the temperature of carbon dioxide, reduce the respiratory activity of vegetables and fruits.

Good is good, is too expensive. In fact, although the domestic brand functions are not so much, they can also be called magical. For example, Hisense's "vacuum dormant" refrigerator also has a vacuum function; many brands have launched a "net taste" series after the epidemic, which can not only prevent cross-flavor, but also sterilize and remove viruses, in addition to ethylene; some refrigerators have upgraded the freezing function, reaching -25 ~ -32 ° C ultra-low temperature freezing, the preservation effect is better; and some refrigerators have special fruit and vegetable areas and supplement areas, which can adjust humidity...
The refrigerator contains a wetting drawer
Here may wish to popularize the role of different temperatures in the refrigerator - 4 ° C is suitable for vegetables and fruits with more moisture, -18 ° C can kill most parasites, and -30 ° C can kill cold microorganisms.
Vacuum sealing machine: From storing cat food to storing prepared vegetables, vacuum packaging is not a panacea
Compared to freezers and refrigerators, vacuum sealers are too niche.
However, as a cat slave, Zhou Zhijun had heard of it. A bag of cat food can be eaten for half a year, and after opening it, there is a risk of deterioration, so you have to find a way to store it well - the conventional method is to use a sealed barrel, and the advanced method is to use a sealing machine to store it according to the amount of each meal.
Of course, people can also use it. If you come back from a week's worth of food on the weekend, you can use a vacuum sealer to seal vegetables, fruits, meat, grains or cooked meals to help keep them fresh. If you need to bring food to the company, using a sealed bag to pack meals has two advantages - reducing the size helps to carry it with you, and the sealing effect is good without worrying about spilling.

It has to be emphasized that although vacuum preservation can extend the preservation time of food, food will also deteriorate! Most importantly, in the vacuum state, the aerobic bacteria that will cause food to rot and stink are no longer growing, and the "invisible killer" anaerobic bacteria grow more cheerfully, and they will produce what may be the strongest biological toxin - botulinum toxin! Once a family died because they ate vacuum-packed food, and three people went to the ICU for emergency treatment.

So how do you prevent it? Fortunately, low temperatures are equally effective against anaerobic bacteria. Dr. Yun Wuxin, a food engineering doctor, reminds that if cooked food is vacuumed, it can only be stored in a refrigerated or room temperature environment for 2 hours according to food safety regulations. In contrast, those who have not been vacuumed can be left for 4 hours.
If you plan to buy a sealing machine, it is recommended to pick a good evaluation instead of an expensive one. Big names do not have much advantage in this field, whether it is Taobao or Pinduoduo, the top sales ranks are small brands that do not know. Another netizen made a review, the title is "100 yuan artifact hanging net red brand".
Smart Vegetable Grower: Fool-style vegetables, you deserve it
The smart vegetable grower once entered the public eye in 2017 because of an implant advertisement in "Ode to Joy 2" that allowed and let andy grow vegetables on the balcony.

There are many such machines now, most of which are cultivated in a soilless way and equipped with fill lights. Take Haier's Caiduoduo hydroponic planting box as an example, put seeds in this fully enclosed box, add water, add nutrient solution, and wait patiently. Bean sprouts, cabbage, oil wheat vegetables, lettuce can take root and sprout, lush.
Of course, such a small box, grown out of the dish is not enough to eat. Friends who like to grow vegetables can consider multi-layer vegetable growers, which are three to four stories high, and each layer can be full of vegetables.
The biggest issue is the price. Small ones are generally about three hundred yuan, and multi-layered ones are more than a thousand yuan, which exceeds the psychological price of most people. Zhou Zhijun saw a complaint: "The destruction of the earth I bought again, enough for me to spend two years of vegetable money." ”

How hot are these appliances now? Since 2022, the sales volume of high-end freezers has increased by more than 70%, and on April 24, the sales of freezers in Beijing exceeded 300 units, equivalent to the sales volume of a month on weekdays.
According to the refrigerator market report of Aowei Cloud Network in the first quarter of 2022, the retail volume of offline 500L+ products increased from 28.3% in Q1 of 2020 to 43.0% of Q1 in 22, and online increased from 17.5% to 30.0% of Q4 of 21.
Sealing machines and vegetable growers have also become "niche hits". According to today's (April 29) Tmall list, vacuum sealers have sold 38,166 pieces in the past seven days. Taobao recently released a "2022 Balcony Vegetable Growing Report", showing that the sales of smart vegetable growers this year have increased by 200% year-on-year.
Their sales may soon fall back. But our view of the kitchen, our view of life, has been irreversibly changed by the pandemic.
