Choosing a good grill for cook out

Frying is the oldest, time-tested method of heat treatment of food. Frying reveals the true taste of meat and vegetables, making it particularly bright. It is this “magic” property of frying that inspires manufacturers of household appliances for cooking to create new models of grills, and customers are pushed to culinary experiments. How do you find the right grill for your needs and what should you look for before buying?

Roasting meat on the grill, especially in the bosom of nature, is not just about cooking! A barbecue at the weekend with family and friends becomes an exciting event: housewives and guests gather in advance to prepare meat and vegetables, enjoy the process of burning the fire, slowly pour the drinks and enjoy a relaxing and excellent meal at a pleasant conversation. Grilled dishes are not just tasty and beautiful, they are also more healthy than frying in a frying pan in oil. It is known that when grilled, part of the fat contained in meat, fish or poultry is, on the contrary, melted.

However, not every grill is suitable, for example, for use in a city apartment. The wide range of models that are available today also suggests that people with completely different cooking skills use the grill. There are models for beginners as well as devices for experienced cooks and professional cooks. Let’s take a closer look at the basic characteristics of grills, study their features and capabilities. So, what types of grills do modern manufacturers offer?

Types of grills: what to choose?

Gas grills

According to Grill FAQ, fuel for gas grills is, as its name suggests, gas. Such a grill is something like a gas stove. At the heart of the design of gas grills – a panel of high-strength and heat-resistant metal alloys with different number of burners and cast iron or steel grilles. In addition to the grids in gas grills, there is often a spit for skewers. One of the obligatory elements of a gas grill is a metal hinged lid with a handle. Many gas grills have small cooking stalls on the sides and underneath the grill there is a cabinet for cans and tools.

In addition to the mandatory elements, the gas grills can be equipped with additional ones, which make it easier to use and maintain. These elements include electronic or piezo ignition systems, additional heating grilles, gearbox for disposable gas cartridges, removable fat tray, temperature sensor under the lid and others.

Typically, gas grills – as, by the way, and stoves – are large stationary structures. However, you can also find compact portable models or medium portable grills equipped with wheels for easier transportation.

The volume of gas grills is calculated based on the number of burners: from 1 burner in the miniature portable grills and up to 6 burners in the large models, designed rather for use in the general public. The power of the burners varies from 1.9 to 18 kW.

Contrary to popular belief that a classic grill should definitely be a charcoal grill (in association with the usual charcoal grill), it should be noted that in reality many restaurants and steak houses use gas grills, and not by accident. Among their advantages are instant ignition and the ability to quickly and accurately adjust the temperature. Rational fuel consumption and no waste after cooking are also important. However, these indicators are still most relevant for large models working on the flow – in cafes and restaurants.

The cost of gas grills is usually higher than that of coal grills and depends on the manufacturer, volume and functionality of a particular model. The price of the simplest portable models with one burner – about 15 to 30 thousand rubles. Models with 2 burners are about 30-50 thousand. And professional gas grills, in which from 3 to 6 burners, will cost 50 to 300 thousand rubles or more.

Corner Grills

The charcoal grill is considered a classic. It is the most popular, understandable and familiar type of grill to most of us. It is fuelled by charcoal, which is put into a bowl of grill and smolders for a long time, providing the temperature you need for frying.

Grill barbecue fire charcoal

It would seem that this type of grill is no different from a traditional grill, but there is still a difference. The charcoal grill comes with a lid, under which food is cooked in the same way as in the oven and the heat is distributed evenly. On the grill, meat and fish are baked only from the bottom, so they need to be turned from time to time.

That’s interesting

It is believed that the first charcoal grill was an ordinary sea buoy cut in half: the lower part was a bowl and the upper part was a lid.

Usually, the charcoal grill has a rounded shape and there are also models in the shape of an egg. The material for the charcoal grill roasting surfaces can be stainless steel, ceramics or cast iron. There is no big difference between them, although consumers note that ceramic grills are easier to take care of – fat and soot from ceramics are washed away more quickly. The charcoal grill is not only suitable for roasting meat, it is also suitable for baking, cooking pizza and much more. The temperature can be controlled by means of special valves for air access – the process is not complicated, but it requires special knowledge or experience: a novice person may be wrong about the setting.

When using a charcoal grill, the quality of the charcoal is important: how fast it burns out and how hot it is. This varies from brand to brand, and the best fuel can only be found through experience.

You can only use the charcoal grill outside. There are both massive stationary models and very small portable grills to take with you on a picnic. A small mobile grill, which is enough for cooking dinner for 2-4 people, can be bought for about 7-10 thousand rubles. Premium stationary grills will cost you about 100 thousand rubles or more.

Wood or wood

These grills work on firewood or wood chips. Usually they are constructions without lids. The charcoal grill is just the kind of grill that everyone is used to. Since wood gives a lot of smoke when burned, you should not use such a device indoors.

The principle of operation of a wood grill is very similar to that of a charcoal grill, the main difference being in the form of fuel. The cheapest way to use such a grill is to use it. Gas and quality coal are more expensive than firewood, and during a picnic you can collect firewood yourself in the woods, absolutely free.

However, wood grills have a number of significant disadvantages. In particular, lunch will have to wait a long time: to cook food you do not need a flame, and hot coals, and therefore have to wait until the wood is completely burned. Fuel consumption is quite high – especially in those models that do not allow you to control the speed of burning firewood.

Most of the high quality wood grills that are available for sale belong to semi-professional models, which are equipped with an extractor hood and are designed for cooking large quantities at a time. Therefore, their price is usually high – from 80 thousand rubles.

Electrogrills

Very widely represented on the modern market, because it is a win-win and absolutely affordable option for all barbecue lovers – not only beginners, but also gourmets.

Among them are contactless and contactless electric grills. Contactless grills are devices with the simplest possible construction made of an open heating coil and a tray for collecting fat and juice. Not quite convenient for home, as the fat that is heated from meat in such models can drop directly on the spiral, smoky kitchen.

Contacts involve cooking food directly on the worktop. This is the most popular type of grill: the models are functional, simple and easy to use, and no additional effort or equipment is required for cooking on them.

According to their principle of operation, contact grills are divided into two:

  • One-sided – only one side of the grill is heated, which increases the cooking time as it needs to be turned over.
  • Two-sided – this allows you to grill food on both sides at the same time, which reduces the cooking time. These models usually allow you to adjust the distance between the food preparation presses for different thicknesses.
  • Combination – combines the functionality of one-sided and two-sided presses, making them the most popular.

Electric grills are divided by the type of design:

  • Open (without lid);
  • Closed (with lid);
  • Universal (with a choice of cooking method).

Electrogrill – multifunctional device. It can cook meat, fish, poultry, toast, croutons, and sometimes even pancakes, pizza, bread, casseroles, vegetable dishes, eggs and much more. That’s why electric grill will be useful not only for barbecue fans.

The body of the electric grill is usually made of plastic or metal. Models in the metal case are more reliable, but they cost more. The work surface of a charcoal grill is usually non-stick – it prevents food from getting burned and makes it easier to care for. Some manufacturers offer models with a vitrified clay or enamel surface – they require gentle handling, are less durable and therefore are in lower demand. The grill surface can be completely flat or grooved. Some models are equipped with different removable grill plates so that the user can choose the right one.

Additional features include flexible temperature control, a cooking timer, a delayed start option, automatic shutdown, as well as the ability to adjust the angle of the grilling surface to remove fat and juice during cooking and a removable tray for easy maintenance.

The contact electric grill will cost about 5-15 thousand rubles, although you can find quite inexpensive mini-models in the area of 2-3 thousand rubles.

Ceramic grills

Also known as kamado-grills. Kamado is a Japanese traditional ceramic stove, whose potential after the Second World War was appreciated by barbecue fans in the United States. Thanks to this, the well-known today’s design of the grill has appeared in the form of an egg – a synthesis of centuries-old traditions and modern technology.

Dish meal food cooking baking

Ceramic grill is a construction with a dome-shaped lid, its walls are made of high-strength ceramics, which ensures the heating of products not only through the movement of hot air, but also through infrared radiation from the heated inner walls of the grill. Grilled food of this type is as juicy as possible and its taste is rich. The thick inside walls of the grill keep the food warm and cool for a long time, which greatly expands the range of kamado options. They are suitable not only for the traditional grilling of food on the grill – steaks, fish, vegetables, burgers, but also for large dishes such as chicken or whole turkey, as well as for baking – pies with filling, etc. Experienced cooks use these grills for languishing as well.

The fuel for this type of grill is coal, which – if used skilfully – needs a minimum. You can also use a kamado with wood chips, in which case it will serve as a smokehouse. The surface of the grill and the lid will not reheat even if the inside of the grill is intensely heated, so there is no risk of burns if you touch it accidentally. Kamado grills can easily replace an oven, smokehouse, traditional wood oven or charcoal grill.

Just for the record

Ceramic grills keep heat for a long time, so they are suitable for use even at minus temperatures.

Typically, manufacturers offer a wide range of ceramic grills, from miniature grills for 2 steaks to large-scale grills designed for catering establishments, where you can cook up to 12 steaks at a time.

Depending on the size, the Kamado-grill can be stationary and portable. The functionality of the good models includes a thermometer built into the lid, a latch, height-adjustable grill grids for simultaneous cooking at different heat levels and an ash collection system.

The ceramic grills are ideal for the country house, where you can use their full potential. Small models can also be used on the outdoor terrace of a city apartment – of course, as long as safety regulations are observed.

Ceramic grill – quite expensive device, it will cost you about 80-130 thousand rubles.

Smoke summer dish food bbq

Grill-frying pans – the easiest, cheapest and most compact solution for those who like grilled dishes. If you have such a frying pan in your kitchen, you can grill meat even on a regular gas or electric stove. The bottom of the grill frying pan is ribbed, which allows you to grill meat evenly without drying it out, and excess fat flows into the grooves between your ribs. The best grill frying pans are made of cast iron or ceramics, although there are many aluminium and steel models available. However, professionals prefer cast iron – even if it is a heavy material, and cast iron dishes are not so easy to take care of (in the dishwasher such a frying pan is not worth washing), but it evenly warms up and perfectly keeps warm. High-quality grill frying pan can be bought for 1500-3500 rubles.

Types of grills

By type of grill divided into stationary and portable. Stationary grills and barbecues are usually quite massive structures with no possibility of moving. The most common are gas, electric and coal stationary models. When planning to buy a stationary grill or oven for your country house, you should take care of its connection to the electricity supply in advance, taking into account the safety of use in wet weather. For gas grills, additional space for a gas cylinder should be provided in the calculations. Stationary grills cannot be transported, so it is also worth thinking about where to keep the grill.

Fixed models have a number of advantages over portable ones, among them:

  • A larger grill surface, which allows you to cook different dishes at the same time;
  • a large work area where you can conveniently cut and cook food;
  • space for fuel and dishes.

The portable grills require less space and fuel and are easier to use and maintain. However, compared to stationary grills, they have limitations in functionality and volume for simultaneous cooking.

Food barbecue grilling outdoor grill

Stationary grills are great not only for country houses (especially if you have a large family or regularly invite guests), but also for cafes or outdoor restaurants. If you intend to use the grill at your summer cottage only, or if you like to enjoy a barbecue at a picnic, choose the smaller portable model.

Just for the record

When buying the grill, do not forget about additional accessories: pallets and trays, burgers, whole poultry baking racks, spinners, grease collectors, tongs, thermometers and other devices that will certainly be useful during cooking.

Country of manufacture

Grills are produced in many countries, particularly in Germany – many famous brands come from there. The USA with its long tradition of barbecue is also among the leaders, American brands have long and well established themselves in the market. Domestic companies are also actively mastering the “grill market”, trying to offer the buyer a favorable price/quality ratio.

Choosing a portable fridge for a picnic

Portable Fridges Vector

Summer is a hot time for outdoor holidays and weekends. Going to your summer cottage, picnic or beach, river fishing or a trip by car to the blue sea, take with you one of the most useful inventions of mankind – a portable fridge.

Thanks to its ability to keep temperatures low for a long time, we can provide ourselves with fresh food and refreshments on a hot day, whether outdoors or on the road. At the same time, portable fridges may vary greatly in their characteristics and capabilities, which means that you need to know in advance what criteria to follow when choosing the right model.

To help you make the right choice, consider the existing types of portable refrigerators and their distinguishing features in more detail.

Isothermal containers and thermo bags

Such fridges will be perfect for picnic, fishing, rest on the beach, and also will help to keep fresh the lunch taken to work.

Lightweight nylon thermo bags and isothermal plastic containers are equipped with a special isothermal layer, which allows you to keep the cold inside the chamber from a few hours to several days, depending on the model. The containers and bags do not generate cold on their own, but only protect the contents from external temperatures, so products must be placed in them already cooled. And the more of them in the fridge, the longer they can stay cold.

The useful effect of autonomous refrigerators can also be enhanced by using cold batteries, pre-frozen in a regular freezer. The necessary number of these “ice substitutes” is determined by the volume of the fridge itself: one battery weighing 200-300 grams will suffice for 5 liters.

Isothermal containers and thermo bags can have different volumes and shapes – from a small lunch bag with a volume of only 0.5 liters to a 100-liter container, especially beloved by avid fishermen.

The containers and bags are unsuitable for use and can be used in a variety of environmental conditions.

Car refrigerators

Car refrigerators are the best choice for those who like to travel by car. These units are connected to a car cigarette lighter (12 V/24 V) and can also be combined type of power supply and run on mains (220 V) or gas. Powered by external power sources, they are able not only to keep the temperature inside the chamber low, but also independently generate cold, cooling and even freezing food.

According to the cooling method, car refrigerators fall into three main categories: thermoelectric, compressor and absorption refrigerators. Each of them defines important parameters such as volume, temperature range, energy consumption and even operating conditions. Let us look at each category in more detail.

Thermoelectric autofreezers – durable, unpretentious, compact and silent, are the most popular among those who like to travel by car, as well as well tolerate the ride on the bumps and continue to work smoothly even with strong rolls of the car. Their device does not use refrigerants, as in other car refrigerators, and the air inside the chamber is cooled by electricity.

Small in volume (from 0.5 to 50 liters), they can in most cases maintain the temperature from +3 ° C to +10 ° C, sufficient to store pre-cooled food. Some of them can also provide a lower temperature in the chamber (up to -3 ° C). And among thermoelectric car refrigerators there are models equipped with a heating function (up to +70 ° C), which allows you to heat a chilled lunch or keep food and drinks hot if you go on a trip in the cold season.

However, the thermoelectric cooling method has one major drawback, namely the consumption of large amounts of electricity, as well as fairly slow cooling and heating processes.

Compressor car chillers are more similar to their domestic counterparts in their design and operate on safe refrigerants such as freon. These models have the largest capacity (up to 250 l) and, accordingly, the largest size and weight, but they consume little energy and can not only quickly cool but also freeze food (down to -20 ° C). Compressor-type car refrigerators are in particular demand among fans of fishing and hunting, as they can accommodate and qualitatively cool all caught prey. But compressor “auto-freezers”, as they are often called, have a weak point: they can not be subjected to strong shaking or constant vibration load – because of its device they are not designed for use in off-road conditions.

Absorption car chillers are also called electro-gas and gas-electric, since both electricity and gas can provide energy. Such combined type of power supply allows using the refrigerator even in conditions of complete absence of electricity – it is enough to connect it to a gas cylinder. Using gas as an external energy source makes absorption models the most economical.

Electro-gas models are equipped with spacious chambers (from 20 to 140 litres) and, working on the basis of liquid refrigerant – water ammonia solution, as well as compressor models, allow to quickly cool or freeze products. As with other car refrigerators, there is also a weakness in the absorption one – when the rolls from 30° the refrigerant circulation is broken and the refrigerator is switched off.

More to

When choosing a portable refrigerator, stand-alone or car refrigerator, determine how much of the camera you need. Usually it is calculated from 5 liters per 1 person. Also note that bottles take up quite a lot of space in the fridge, so if in addition to food you plan to take a large stock of chilled drinks, add to the minimum required volume of the chamber extra litre.

Choose the lightest models. To make sure that the fridge is not too heavy for you, calculate the gross weight in advance.

If your choice is an auto-refrigerator, check the temperature range specified in its specifications: the higher the number, the more efficient the cooling will be. For example, if the temperature range is 20 degrees, then in conditions of 25-degree heat in the car interior, the refrigerator will be able to maintain the air temperature in the chamber about +5 ° C.

Check the length of the mains cable – it should be not less than 2 meters to allow you to place the car refrigerator anywhere in the interior. If necessary, you can also use a special extension cord if, for example, you plan to transport the refrigerator in the boot.

If necessary, you can also always purchase a mains adapter for connecting the car fridge to the 220 V household power supply, which is not always present in the set, in case you plan to use the car fridge also stationary.

For the safety of both products and passengers, ask also about the possibility of fixing the fridge in the passenger compartment – while driving, it must stand firmly in place and not tip over during heavy braking or turning. If you wish, you can also choose the built-in model, but the portable fridge can always be taken from the car along with the contents.

Please also note the location of the fridge cover. The cover placed at the top of the structure better retains the cold and protects the contents more reliably in conditions of strong shaking.

It increases the comfort of use of the fridge and the special protective device that is present in some models: it provides control of the level of charge of the car battery, not allowing its full discharge.

Сhoosing A Refrigerator For The Home

Let’s try to ease your task a little and talk about the main characteristics and functionality of modern refrigerators. We hope this helps you make the right choice.

Dimensions of the refrigerator

The size of the refrigerator is of great importance because, firstly, it should fit in the space allocated to it, and secondly, it should store a stock of food for your family for at least a few days.

The width and depth of a standard refrigerator are the same and are 23.6 inches. Previously, refrigerators of such dimensions were the only option available. Today they continue to be the most common ones, but there are the ones with other parameters, which means that buyers have a wider choice. For example, the width of narrow models is reduced to 45-50 cm, and for refrigerators with swing doors and horizontal proximity of cameras (Side-by-Side), it varies from 80 to 120 cm.

The height of most refrigerators is about 150-160 cm. But there are also two-meter “giants” and 50-centimeter “babies” designed for installation under the countertop.

When choosing a refrigerator, especially a large one, one should take into account not only the area of ​​the kitchen but also the dimensions of the doorways, the length and width of all the aisles, the dimensions of the elevator and its doors. Otherwise, an unpleasant surprise may await you and your movers.

The volume of the refrigerator depends on its size: the larger the refrigerator, the more spacious it is. In the technical characteristics of different models, either the general or the useful volume can be indicated. The last indicator correlates with real capacity, and you should pay attention to it when choosing a refrigerator.

Number and location of chambers

The number of chambers in domestic refrigerators can vary from one to six or more. In some models, each of them is hidden behind a separate door, therefore, to find out how many chambers are there, it is not necessary to look inside when in the store.

Single-chamber models have no separate freezer – its role is played by the low-temperature compartment located inside the refrigerator (in some refrigerators even such an imitation of the freezer compartment is missing). The main advantages of single-chamber units are their small size and relatively low cost, so they can often be found in summer houses, student dorms, hostels, motels, and other cheap mini-hotels.

The most popular ones, and therefore the most common ones today are two-chamber models with separate refrigeration and freezer compartments. Such refrigerators are convenient in that they take up relatively little space, but at the same time can be loaded with a large number of groceries.

It has become increasingly common recently to find two-chamber units with a different variation of chambers, for example, with a refrigerator compartment and a “freshness” chamber, but without a freezer.

In multi-chamber refrigerators, in addition to the standard refrigerator and freezer compartments, there are various additional chambers. There can be many options: a wine chamber, a deep-freeze chamber, a moist freshness zone for storing fruits and vegetables, and a separate chamber for perishable foods.

Side-by-side is often called refrigerator cabinets because in appearance they really look like cabinets with double-wing swing doors. They are two-chamber (less often more), but the freezer is not located above or below the refrigerator compartment, but next to it. The dimensions of such refrigerators are significantly larger than standard, so this option is suitable only for owners of very spacious kitchens.

Refrigerating compartment

The refrigerator compartment – the most capacious compartment of any refrigerator – is designed to store food that does not need to be frozen. The temperature in the refrigerator can vary from 32 ° F to 50 ° F.

A separate “freshness zone” may be located in the refrigerator compartment. Often it is also called the “zero zone” because it maintains a temperature close to 32 ° F.

Freezer

The shelf life of products directly depends on the degree of freezing:

 

  • One snowflake (*): the minimum maintained temperature is 21 ° F, the shelf life of the products is 7 days.
  • Two snowflakes (**): minimum temperature is 10 ° F, this temperature ensures the safety of products for 30 days.
  • Three snowflakes (***): minimum temperature is -0.4 ° F, the shelf life of products increased to three months.
  • Four snowflakes (****): the minimum maintained temperature is -11 ° F, you can not worry about the safety of food for up to six months to a year.

Types of refrigerator cooling systems

To remove heat, it is necessary to perform certain work.

There are several types of refrigeration cooling systems:

  • compressor (the vast majority of such refrigerators);
  • uncompressed – can be absorption or thermoelectric.

The consultants of specialized stores will be able to advise you on which is the best for you.

Defrosting systems

There are still models with a manual defrost system among modern refrigerators. But the units that shamelessly exploit human labor are being replaced by new technology that can defrost itself.

Drip Defrosting System

Frost also freezes on the evaporator of the refrigerator with a drip system, but this structural element is hidden from the user’s eyes, so we don’t even know about it.

Water vapor condenses on the back of the refrigerator compartment, and this moisture can turn into ice.

However, the compressor is turned off at certain intervals, which allows the ice and frost to melt, and the water droplets that have formed drain down the chamber wall into a special pan, which is located directly on the compressor, and under the action of its heat, the accumulated water evaporates quickly. The user’s task is simple – make sure periodically that the drainage hole through which meltwater flows into the sump does not clog.

No Frost Defrosting System

If the refrigerators use No Frost technology, then the frost frozen on the evaporator is melted periodically when the heater turns on. There is also a fan in such models that drives the flow of cold air, thereby equalizing the temperature inside the chamber and drying it, so that the water does not freeze on the inner walls of the refrigerator.

In addition, there are options for refrigerators with a drip defrosting system in the refrigeration compartment, and No Frost in the freezer. The use of a drip defrosting system in the refrigerator provides less impact on the shrinkage of products.

In units with the Full No Frost system, frost forms neither in the freezer nor in the refrigerator compartment – each chamber has its own fan for supplying chilled air. The No Frost system greatly simplifies the life of the user, however, this technique also has certain disadvantages, such as additional noise from the fan, quick-drying (weathering, withering) of fresh products due to the presence of cold dry air flows, increased consumption electricity, high price.

It should be noted that although refrigerators with No Frost or with a drip system do not require manual defrosting, once a year this procedure is better to be done for preventive purposes.

Additional functions and characteristics of refrigerators

Refrigerator energy consumption class

According to the amount of energy they consume, all refrigerators are assigned energy efficiency classes marked with Latin letters from A to G. However, you will no longer find refrigerators corresponding to the last four classes on the market, but there are super-economical models marked with A +, A ++ and A +++.

Noise level

A good refrigerator is a silent refrigerator. The noise level of most modern refrigerators does not exceed 40 dB. Such noise is almost inaudible, or at least it does not cause discomfort.

Climate class

The climate class determines the maximum ambient temperature at which the refrigerator is still able to qualitatively perform its main task of preserving food. There are several climatic classes – N, SN, ST and T. Refrigerators of class N (normal) work stably at ambient temperatures from 60° F to 90 ° F. The SN class (subnormal) is designed for a temperature range from 50 ° F to 90 ° F, the ST class (subtropic) – from 64 ° F to 100 ° F. And finally, models of class T (tropic) are able to function at temperatures from 64 ° F to 109 ° F.

Super freeze (quick freeze)

In this mode, the freezer operates at maximum intensity, and the temperature quickly drops below -11 F, and in some models even below -22 F.

It is better to activate this mode in advance, a couple of hours before restocking the freezer. A return to the normal operating mode of the refrigerator will occur automatically only if your unit has an automatic shutdown for quick freezing. Owners of low-cost models will have to turn off super freeze manually.

Vacation mode

Those who often leave the house for a long time, going on a business trip or vacation, should like the refrigerators in which there is a “Vacation” mode. This mode saves energy and should be activated when the owner does not need to actively use the refrigerator.

The freezer will work as usual, but the temperature in the refrigerator compartment will be maintained at about 59 ° F, which is enough to minimize the likelihood of mold and unpleasant odors, but not enough to store food. Of course, all products with short shelf life must be taken out of the refrigerator compartment.

Automatic ice maker

In some modern mid-range and high-price refrigerators, there are built-in ice makers.

The appearance of the refrigerator, hidden or protruding handle, design, color, the material of the refrigerator, the number of shelves and drawers – this is everyone’s personal choice, so proceed based on your preferences.

If you do not want the refrigerator to spoil the style of the kitchen, choose the built-in model and just hide it in the kitchen cabinet.

We hope that this article has made the task of choosing a refrigerator for your home a little easier.

Why does my refrigerator pop?

One of the most common refrigerator malfunctions is the sudden opening of the refrigerator door.

There are many things that can cause this, including electrical surges and even a faulty door panel.

Sometimes, however, this is due to poor maintenance and is not caused by any of these things.

Sometimes, the problem is so bad that it can be felt or heard, but it is more likely due to a vacuum leak.

If you are sure that the vacuum is not functioning properly, try closing and opening the fridge door a couple of times to see if it still feels tight.

Once it is, it is usually safe to open the door again, and the problem should be solved.

If you are still having trouble, take it to your refrigerator repair facility or to a local heating and air conditioning repair facility to have it inspected and repaired.

Why is the light in my fridge not working?


If your fridge is not turning on, it may be having a problem with its electricity supply.
