It is curious that the term "smart refrigerator" is now applicable not only to a household appliance equipped with innovative technologies, but also to dishes that also allow you to keep products better than usual. But first things first.

Smart refrigerator from LG and its capabilities

Smart refrigerator with Smart technologies from LG in its functions is close to what resembles artificial intelligence. Judge for yourself.

On the door of the refrigerator there is a touch screen that allows you to monitor the location and condition of the products inside. That is, there is no need to constantly open the refrigerator door, and this reduces the penetration of warm air into the chamber and thereby saves energy costs.

Refrigerator + smart phone

If you connect the control system of the refrigerator to a smartphone or a tablet, you can see what is missing in the refrigerator, and buy the necessary products while away from home. This eliminates the need to make long shopping lists and helps to avoid unnecessary costs.

You can also order products by typing the appropriate commands on the display of the refrigerator itself or program the system so that the order of the finished products is carried out automatically. There is no need to leave the house and leave unattended a small child to run into the store, also you can not worry that some products will end at the most inopportune moment.

The freshness control system will promptly notify the owner of the refrigerator about which products the expiration date and the time to use or discard them have expired.

The failure prevention system, if it detects any malfunctions in the operation of the refrigerator, will immediately contact the customer service center and report a malfunction. This helps to avoid serious breakdowns and in time to take measures for the uninterrupted operation of the equipment.

Refrigerator + TV

Special programs allow you to view on the refrigerator display a variety of videos, photos, TV shows, weather forecasts. This is quite convenient, because many of us spend a lot of time in the kitchen for cooking or cleaning. In addition, the refrigerator LG will tell you which recipes can be prepared from the products already available in it and even allows you to watch video lessons on them.

Controlling a healthy diet can be programmed by entering your data (height, weight, type of diet) into the system of this refrigerator and getting the necessary recommendations in the form of recipes and adherence to the regime of eating.

In addition, the LG refrigerator operates on the principle of energy conservation, choosing the optimal mode and controlling the functions that allow you to simultaneously save products while saving energy.

It is worth such a pleasure of about $ 3000, but those who can afford smart technology, note that these costs are fully justified and gradually pay off.

Next, let's talk about the dishes, or rather containers for storing food, which are also called "smart refrigerator."

Smart Tupperware Refrigerator

Tupperware is an American company, whose name comes from the name of its founder, Earl Silas Tapper.

One of the brands of this company is plastic containers, designed to store various products in the refrigerator. According to the advertisement, these containers help to preserve the original freshness and appearance of the products for a long time. It is for this series of dishes called "smart refrigerator."

Features of a smart refrigerator Tupperware

According to the manufacturer, Tupperware containers are made of durable maximally harmless (medical) plastic.

The plastic container is resistant to scratches, staining with vegetables and fruits (beets, carrots) has holes for air ventilation, it is easy to clean and long to serve.

The bottom of the container has a recess in which condensate accumulates, and thus the products in the container do not come into contact with moisture.

A convenient cover is attached to the container, which fits snugly, but it is easy to open and close.

The main feature of the smart refrigerator Tupperware is a ventilation system. This principle of preserving the quality of products was developed on the basis of the intensity of breathing of various plant cultures.

By the way, the first smart refrigerators developed by this manufacturer were containers for storing plant food. In the future, the campaign also created separate containers for storing meat and fish. They do not have a ventilation system, are slightly different with an external and internal device, are designed for storing, defrosting and marinating meat and fish.

But, as practice shows, the consumer, having bought one of the Tupperware containers, does not pay much attention to his "specialization", but stores all the products in a row in it.

A bit of science

It turns out that the plants are breathing. And they breathe differently. Therefore, the system of air ventilation inside the container was created.

Vegetables, fruits, berries and other vegetation absorb oxygen during breathing and release carbon dioxide. The fresh the plant, the more it breathes. And so the principle of storing plant food in containers with ventilation should provide a longer shelf life of products.

Both the surplus and the lack of carbon dioxide can adversely affect the product. Therefore, for the outflow-influx of air and made a ventilation system in containers "smart refrigerator" Tupperware.

For different cultures, the oxygen-carbon dioxide ratio is different for freshness preservation. Therefore, a table (slider) is shown on the surface of the container, which indicates how many valves should be in the open-close position for different vegetables, fruits, berries.

Undoubtedly, the shelf life of different products depends not only on the ratio of the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the container, but also on temperature, humidity, plant variety, the locality in which the culture is grown. But the creators of the "smart refrigerator" and did not try to invent a panacea, but only wanted to slightly improve the storage conditions of plant foods and thereby prolong its freshness.

If you store ready-made food or, say, meat or fish in such containers, the positive effect of long-term storage may appear, but it will rather depend on the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment, the moisture content of the air, freshness and quality of the product itself, the method of thermal Processing and the like.

Reviews

Quite a few people have already purchased an "intelligent refrigerator". The responses of those who applied it in practice are different: someone is satisfied with the result, and someone thinks that he has thrown money away.

We will try to be objective and consider all the pros and cons.

1. Expensive goods.

The high price of a smart Tupperware refrigerator is, of course, a minus. Are there few plastic containers available from different manufacturers and is it difficult to do any plastic holes for ventilation and achieve the same results for less money?

However, do not forget that Tupperware containers are made of durable plastic. The manufacturer gives them a guarantee of 30 years, of course, under the right conditions of use: this container can not be put in a microwave or a freezer, it is hard to rub with abrasive cleaning agents, then it will last a long time.

2. Absence of long-term storage effect.

Not all users of this "miracle" note that vegetables, greens or other products are better stored in a "smart refrigerator" than under other conditions. Why is this happening?

If you look at the slider (pictures) on the surface of the Tupperware container, you can see that only plant cultures are shown there, which means that the manufacturer does not guarantee that other products are also recommended to be stored in these containers.

Further, many, buying an intelligent refrigerator, stuff it into a row of different vegetables, greens and fruits, despite the fact that they have different types of breathing.

The fact is that (as we have already said) the safety of products depends not only on ventilation, but also on humidity. Greens, for example, are better preserved in a slightly damp form, while for potatoes this moisture is useless. According to many gardeners, it is not recommended to store together dill and parsley - well, they do not like lying side by side and badly affect each other.

Therefore, if you want to notice the positive effect of using a smart refrigerator, you still have to follow the rules and store different vegetables in different containers.

Rules of operation

If you purchased a smart Tupperware refrigerator, how to use it correctly?

In a clean, dry and ventilated container, store vegetables or other crops for storage, close the lid, set the ventilation mode according to the information on the slider (open, closed, ajar). Place the container in the refrigerator. As the condensate forms in the recesses on the bottom, drain it.

It is advisable not to use a container for storing small-cut products, since they fill the recesses and prevent air circulation.
