I believe everyone is very familiar with the refrigerator, it is one of the indispensable appliances in our family. We store all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator. Especially now that the weather is getting hotter, we will also buy some drinks and fruits to put in the refrigerator, so that we can enjoy cold and delicious watermelon and drinks after work, which is very thirst-quenching. It can be said that the refrigerator has brought great convenience to our lives.
So, why put a coin in your refrigerator when you use it on a daily basis? We all know that coins are used in everyday life, whether it is on the bus or children in a rocking car. So, what exactly does it do to keep coins in the fridge?
First of all, we need to prepare an empty drink bottle and cut the bottom from 1/5. Pay attention to safety when cutting open. Then, trim the burrs on the mouth of the bottle and fill the bottle with water and place it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. After waiting for two hours, open the freezer and we will find that the water has frozen into ice cubes.
First of all, we need to close the refrigerator lid in the refrigerator compartment. When the time is up, we can open the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and find the water bottle that we put in before. I was surprised to find that the water had completely turned into ice. Similar to the beverage bottles we prepare, they can also be used if you have disposable paper cups and other similar containers at home. But what are the benefits of doing so?
When we travel far from home, we can place the coin directly on top of the ice cube and put it in the freezer. What are the benefits of this?
Many people may not know because in our daily lives, whether we are away from home or staying at home, we all know that there are occasional power outages in the community. Especially when we are away from home, we can't dispose of the ingredients in the refrigerator, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, etc., if we don't finish them when we leave home, right?
Then, if the refrigerator encounters a power outage, for example, once the storage time of steamed buns, fruits, bread, etc. has passed, we can see with the naked eye whether they are moldy or have a decrease in freshness. In this case, we can just throw away the ingredients and stop eating them. This does not provide any health benefits.
But for meat, it's a different story. If we have some meat in our home, it will be directly thawed after a power outage. When a call comes, it is re-frozen. During this time, we can't see with the naked eye whether they have changed. Usually, after these meats are completely thawed, their off-flavors will also disappear. However, this is not good for our physical health.
Therefore, we put a coin on the bottle, and by the change in the position of the coin, we can tell if the refrigerator has a power outage. If, by the time you get home, the coin has reached the bottom of the bottle, then it proves that the refrigerator has been out of power for a long time. In this case, we do not recommend consuming meat from the refrigerated area.
So, we can keep the coin in the water bottle all the time or put some pennies in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. Because the pennie contains copper ions, when the refrigerator has stored various ingredients for a period of time, it is easy to produce odors. After putting the pentain in the refrigerator, the copper ions can effectively absorb the odor. In this way, when you open the refrigerator, the odor will be significantly reduced.
So, when we travel far from home, we must remember to put a coin in the fridge.
