There's nothing more irritating than planning a meal and getting all of your ingredients out of the fridge only to find they've gone bad.
Mouldy food should obviously never be eaten, but it's a real pain having to throw it out and wasting money in the process. However, it turns out that one little-known button in your fridge could prevent this from happening in the future.
The overlooked function should be available in all fridges, and if you know how to use it correctly, you could prolong the lifespan of your food and minimise waste.
The Mirror reports that the temperature button, which is often located inside the fridge, is one of the most effective methods for keeping your food fresher.
Often it has numbers on it ranging from one to five, but these don't actually always correspond to how cold it is in degrees Celsius. Instead, these numbers represent the fridge's power, with five being the coldest.
The Food Standards Agency recommends that fridges should be kept at 5C or below. Temperatures of 8C or higher should be avoided, as this can cause bacteria to rapidly grow on your food.
The actual recommended setting will depend on the manufacturer, which you can find in the instruction manual.
According to Which?, the ideal temperature of your fridge is between 0C and 5C. To check the exact temperature of yours, place a thermometer in a glass of water on the middle shelf, and leave it overnight to get an accurate reading.
It's also important to remember that even if your thermostat is accurate, temperature will vary between shelves. The higher the shelf, the higher the temperature will be, meaning different food items should be stored on higher shelves.
