Aluminum foil, we know, is a great ally in our kitchen and housewives and all cooking enthusiasts know it well. In fact, aluminum is very useful for the proper preservation of food, but it is also used to cook various dishes in the oven. However, it seems that aluminum foil also has another function: there are actually huge advantages if it is used inside the fridge or freezer.

What’s the first annoying thing that comes to mind when you think of your refrigerator? Obviously “thaw it”. A freezer without ice and without too much humidity ensures much better preservation of food and much less electricity consumption. These are the two good reasons, especially in view of the increases that cause stress and arouse a lot of anxiety, not to postpone. It is in fact an operation which, it goes without saying, is often neglected because it requires time and a lot of patience.

“Defrosting the refrigerator” means not only taking care of it in terms of hygiene, but also saving it, precisely because the formation of excess ice actually involves greater energy consumption. The fridge often needs up to 20% more share to work well, compared to a clean fridge. Usually, to defrost a freezer it is enough to empty it, turn it off and melt all the ice that has formed inside and which also prevents the proper preservation of food and which sometimes also hinders its proper closing.

So here’s a trick that not everyone knows: aluminum foil. To defrost the refrigerator more quickly there is a very simple trick that has aluminum foil as its protagonist: just take a few sheets of aluminum foil covering all the sides of the freezer well but obviously we do not rule out the big ones blocks. Once this is done, you can then put all the products back in their place, let the foil do its thing and see the ice cream that will settle on its sides, without affecting the food. In addition, it will be very easy to remove the sheets, thus leaving the freezer clean.

However, the best known method of defrosting the refrigerator is surely to empty it and you can speed up this operation by using cloths soaked in hot water, which will help to melt the ice that has formed more quickly. While the ice liquefies, it is possible to clean each shelf, cleaning all the shelves and drawers with hot water and baking soda, which are ideal for disinfecting and protecting against bad odors.
