refrigerator

Cold food storage

A refrigerator is an appliance that keeps food and drinks cold to preserve them.

The interior is maintained at temperatures above freezing but low enough to slow spoilage.

Most refrigerators include a freezer compartment.

Informally shortened to fridge: Is there any milk in the fridge?
