Just switch that lower compartment from freezer to refrigerator and voilà - extra refrigerator storage. There's more. Dacor's new European built fridge has some space-age technology to keep food fresh longer: The Distinctive refrigerator utilizes BlueV™ lights in the crisper sections to preserve the freshness and vitamins of fruits and vegetables.

Tips to Keep Food Fresh from Sub Zero
Sub Zero Helps Users Keep Food Fresh Longer Working with experts at UC Davis Sub Zero developed User Reference Cards that provide valuable advice on proper food storage in Sub Zero refrigerators and freezers. Below are examples of some of the information Sub Zero provides to help keep food fresh: Some Food Storage Tips from Sub Zero Avoiding Cross-Contamination Sanitize counters, equipment and utensils after handling raw meat, seafood or poultry. Rinse with a dilute chlorine bleach solution, one teaspoon to a quart of water. Avoid cross-contamination in preparing food. Keep raw meat, poultry and seafood and their juices away from other food. For example, don’t use the same surface and utensils for preparing raw meat, poultry and seafood that you use for preparing salad ingredients. Ethelyne Producing Foods Some fruits and vegetables will produce ethylene, a gas that initiates the ripening process. Ethylene can cause premature ripening in some foods, while in others it can actually cause damage. To reduce unnecessary spoilage of your produce, do not store ethylene producing fruits and vegetables with those that are sensitive to it. Ice Cream The firmness of the ice cream will depend on its cream content. Higher quality ice creams usually have a higher cream content, requiring colder freezer temperatures to maintain their firmness. Soft ice cream is not always an indication of a temperature problem. Keeping Things Clean Clean everything that comes in contact with food. Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and after handling food. Use clean -

French Door Refrigerators
What is a French Door Refrigerator?There are four basic refrigerator/freezer categories. They are: Top-mount. This unit has the freezer on the top and a refrigerator below the freezer compartment. Doors are hinged to side swing from either the right or left.Bottom-mount. Bottom-mounts or bottom freezer configurations have the refrigerator on the top and a freezer below. The refrigerator door is hinged like the top mount, but the freezer may be either a side swing or a slide-out drawer.Side-by-Side. Side-by-Side refrigerators are a very popular configuration that have the freezer compartment on the left and the refrigerator compartment on the right. The doors are hinged on either side.French Door. These are bottom freezer refrigerators with a split-door in the refrigerator compartment that allows the refrigerator to be opened from the center. They have become increasingly popular in recent years.History of French Door refrigerators Some industry veterans may recall the short-lived appearance of a French Door model refrigerator from Whirlpool back in the '80s. It did not take with consumers, and was soon dropped.The Amana brand is well-known for its refrigeration and has been a leader in bottom freezer refrigerators for many years. In the late '90s Amana launched the first successful French Door refrigerators. Amana was acquired by Maytag in 2000, and shortly thereafter Maytag's premier Jenn-Air brand introduced a counter-depth French Door model which was a big hit. Soon all the major U.S. manufacturers had French Door refrigerator models. Not surprisingly, the Korean brands were quick to chime in with -

Choosing a Built-In Refrigerator
Choosing a built-in refrigerator can be a daunting task. Not only is it a major investment, but there are many considerations and options. Simply categorizing and listing the choices may be of some help so let's break it down. First, what is a built-in refrigerator? It's a category of refrigerator designed to fit in an enclosure as a permanent part of the kitchen flush or nearly flush with surrounding kitchen cabinetry. We should distinguish between built-in refrigerators and counter-depth refrigerators. Built-in refrigerators are designed to be...well...built-in and attached to adjacent cabinets. Counter-depth refrigerators are versions of free-standing refrigerators, but with shallow depths. Their shallow depths allow them to roll in to a standard refrigerator cut out and fit nicely, only sticking out a few inches from a standard 24" depth cabinet, but of course, they are not built-ins.In the past, built-in units have typically been 84" tall with compressors mounted on the top. Some European brands of built-ins now have compressors in the bottom, but are still taller than free-standing or counter depth refrigerators and are fully-flush with surrounding cabinets. Built-in refrigerators are available in widths ranging from 27" wide to 48" wide. Many built-ins have depths that are 24 - 25" so that they can be installed to fit flush with surrounding cabinetry.Built-in refrigerators are available in side-by-side, bottom-freezer, french door, all refrigerator, and all freezer configurations.Side-by-side built-in refrigerators are the most common configuration of built-in refrigerators. With a 48" wide side-by-side, the combined refrigerator/freezer capacity is nearly 30
