What do you use most in your kitchen? Your refrigerator, of course! The refrigerator is an appliance that can make or break your kitchen organisation, storage and entertaining needs. It holds snacks, leftovers, and food you use to prepare delicious meals for you, your family and your guests. In most households, family members are constantly in and out of the kitchen (and the fridge!), so it is essential that you keep your fridge in tip top shape.

Here are our top hacks to bring out the best in your refrigerator:

Smart Design

When considering fridges, you must contemplate design. LG fridges are sleek, compact, and luxurious. The LG 642L InstaView French Door Refrigerator becomes the focal point of any kitchen, with a beautiful design and large capacity, it is the perfect fridge for any family.

The popular Instaview Door-in-Door design allows for easy access to food, as well as a Craft Ice Maker dispenser that can add slow melting ice to your favourite drinks, keeping them cooler for longer. This clever design means you can grab your frequently used items without opening the full door, reducing the amount of cold air that escapes and helping keep food fresher for longer.

Selected LG fridges also feature modern flat door designs with a hidden pocket handle, hundreds of litres of capacity and multiple colour options. Such practical designs mean that you get convenience and storage combined with state-of-the-art technology.

Cool vs Cooler

When placing your food in your fridge, you should be mindful of the fact that different spots will be cooler than others. This is an important consideration because it will maximise the freshness of your food.

With the LG 635L Side By Side Refrigerator, its SurroundCooling™ feature creates cold air surrounding your food from front to back for fast and effective cooling - quickly reducing the temperature of those items stored at the front of the fridge, and helping keep food fresher for longer.

In most fridges, the door shelves are the warmest area. This is where you should keep items that don’t need to be kept as cold as others, for example condiments and sauces.

The further down you go, the colder it gets. The bottom shelves of your fridge are the coldest spaces, we suggest you storing raw meat and dairy products like milk on these shelves. As you go higher things will get slightly warmer so you might want to put deli produce on the middle shelves, processed foods or leftovers on the top shelves.
