for much longer periods than are otherwise possible. Refrigerators also have a freezing
compartment that will keep frozen foods frozen and make ice to use in beverages. The advantages of having a refrigerator also include
not having to make daily trips to the market for perishables
longer storage of infrequently used items
leftovers can be saved for future use
protection against pests
