Re: What Can You Put in a Refrigerator?
#2This essay assumes the wrong answer. The intelligence has to be built into the item, not the appliance, just as we do now. Packages have messages such as "Refrigerate after opening" on them. Anything that needs to be refrigerated will need to communicate that need, along with details such as temp, to the automated system.

Although work is then required to package items appropriately, rather than the refrigerator automatically knowing what to do with items.
(More on-topic,) I think the point presented still holds. It's not possible to make an air-tight spec for absolutely everything.

So one only puts labelled packaged things in the refrigerator? I was recently thinking about the phenomenon of packaging but this takes it to the next level. I'm not sure if it feels ultra-modern or dystopian.

#5The question is wrong, as it stands the answer is "any non-fluid or contained fluid that will fit".
"What should one store in a refrigerator?" is a better question.

Best before dates are a waste of time. I noticed this travelling in less devloped countries where they don't usually have them. And plenty of times I have had chicken that smells off despite being before the date on the packet. I had one cheese that got way better after being a month past the date.

I guess I need to put best before dates on all my fresh produce then. Otherwise how will I know whether I need to refrigerate my head of cabbage after opening it, and whether it is still edible or not?

Best before dates are a really good idea if you want to reduce the number of food poisonings in a large population. Food is (statistically) very safe before the best before date, assuming proper storage. Most of the time it's still safe well past that date, but you would dramatically increase the number of people who get sick.
It's the same with pasteurized milk. Unpasteurized milk is mostly safe to drink, but occasionally you get really sick. In a large population the difference is noticeable.
Again the same with the much stricter cleanliness rules for restaurants and the like. Usually it's safe to store prepared food without refrigeration for a day, restaurants mustn't. It's also mostly safe to cook on a dirty stove, restaurants mustn't. The difference between your home kitchen and the restaurant is the number of people served.

Yeah. He was really trying to answer the 'should' question.

I would argue that pretty much anything you would put into your refrigerator is contained inside packaging. Sometimes that packaging is just a simple plate.
