Comment on "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo?

  This is it. The door is warmer than the back and the mayo will separate if frozen

    And depending on your refrigerator's settings and insulation, the door compartments may be cold enough for more stable things but not for things like milk. Too me a bit to figure out having the milk in the door was both convenient and cutting its lifetime down a lot. Only takes a few degrees, plus the large door shelf is usually higher up, where the warmer air is.

      That’s annoying - it’s the only place my milk fits. And my shelves aren’t adjustable enough to change that unless I remove a shelf

        You can lay it on its side

      Some may find it fun to nerd out, get a Bluetooth temp sensor, track a handful of places in fridge & freezer to figure it out 🙂

      Also good for ongoing alerts of temp escalations (beyond the usual, since refrigerators make themselves really cold until they warm up a bit and make themselves cold again).

    Also easier/more convenient to locate.

  What kind of low tech refrigerator has that kind of uneven temperature distribution?

  • brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The kind that has the condenser and evap coils.

    The area closest to the coils is coldest. The doors often open and close and the air nearest them when closed has to get cold again.

    And the air is often moved over the coils by a fan. If you block the air flow, then that area gets really cold and will freeze.

    Our brand new GE fridge is like this. The temperature is set to 41F and it still causes some things to freeze on the shelves.

      Hm. My refrigerator I bought 18 years ago from a no name brand has a fan that moves air internally when the door is closed.

    Can confirm, mine does this lol. It’s 9nly a slight freeze and I use it as an advantage to keep things prone to expiring quicker near that area to prolong its life a bit.

  Honestly all can do this based upon where the colder air enters which in most cases is the top and back of the fridge. Be it when cost is not a factor cold spots can be reduced but there will always be cold spots. Being in the door means that it will be less likely to freeze and if freezing does occur, being in the door will be the first to thaw or warm.
