New Year’s resolutions. How many of us actually stick to them? I’ve made a few over the past couple of years; eat healthy, go to the gym more, and clear my debts. If like me you’re making the same ones each and every year, then it’s clear we aren’t sticking to them in the first place.
So this year I’m not making any, I just plan a change of lifestyle. I want to eat healthy, but my lifestyle has me buying more frozen foods as I like to shop less and stock up more.
My fridge freezer is quite outdated. I buy fresh foods and have to eat them in order of expiration date rather than choice. For the time that my old appliance has been very loudly storing my food, there’s been a ton of advances in cooling technology that can really help with fresh eating.
Supercooling lowers the temperature inside the fridge to quickly chill foods to their best temperature they will keep at. If it takes you half an hour to come back from the shops, your meats and fish won’t be as cold as they were in the supermarkets so this feature’s perfect to preserve and extend their shelf life.
Multi-flow pumps cold air into every level of the fridge, helping to give it an even temperature throughout. I’m hopeless at storing things in the ‘right place’, and when I come in with bags of food I just want to chuck it in and be done with it. I’d love to have the multi-flow to be able to store food where I want and know it will share the same conditions as everything else inside.
Water dispensers not only look cool, but encourage us to drink more water. It’s quick and easy when you need to quench your thirst, and never having to open the fridge door to get a drink means your foods will remain undisturbed.
Independent cooling zones are independent to the fridge, and usually referred to as a fridge within a fridge. They work to a low 0°C; one degree higher than the freezing point so will increase the life of meats and vegetables even longer.
All these features work together to change the way we eat. Here’s to 2012 and a fresher life!
My new resolution for this year: buy a new fridge freezer. The Samsung RL58GPEIH if anyone’s feeling generous ;-)
