Question

We should not keep hot food items inside the refrigerator since?
a) Hot food items may burn the refrigerator. b) Hot food items will consumer more energy for cooling. c) Hot food items will get bad smell. d) Hot food items cannot be cooled

Answer 1

the answer to that is c.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option b) Hot food items will consume more energy for cooling.

Explanation:

• We should not keep hot food items inside the refrigerator because putting hot foods in will raise the internal temperature of the fridge which in return will reduce the storage life of other food items kept inside.

• Also keeping hot foods inside before cooling them to normal room temperature facilitate the growth of Salmonella bacteria which will cause food spoilage.

• Not only this but also keeping hot foods in the refrigerator will make it work extra hard and thus takes more energy for cooling by risking its efficiency. Thus it is important to keep hot food inside the refrigerator after cooling it down to room temperature.

Hence option b) Hot food items will consume more energy for cooling is correct.
