Gas Fridge talks about power outages and food in your refrigerator

There are some natural disasters, like hurricanes, that come with warnings and some, like earthquakes, that don't come with any. When the power goes out it doesn't matter. How long can the power be off before we find ourselves throwing out hundreds of dollars’ worth of food or risk eating it? If you have a gas refrigerator you don’t have to worry about power outages affecting your perishable food supply. If you have an electric-powered refrigerator, Gas Fridge has some tips that will help you know what to do if you lose power to your fridge:

After four hours, if the power is still off you'll need to start monitoring the temperature inside your fridge. Once the temperature inside reaches 40°F or higher, perishable food is only good for two more hours before you should toss it.

Foods to Toss

• Soups, stews, and casseroles that contain meat, poultry, or seafood
• Any kind of milk, cream, yogurt, sour cream and soft, shredded or low fat cheese
• Eggs and anything that contains eggs
• Cut fruit
• Creamy condiments like dressings, spaghetti sauce and mayonnaise that have been over 50°F for 8+ hours
• Uncooked refrigerator biscuits, rolls, cookie dough   
• Fresh pasta, salads   
• Cheesecake, cream or custard pies, cream-filled pastries   
• Pre-washed greens, cooked vegetables, vegetable juice, garlic in oil,tofu

Foods You Can Keep   

• Hard, processed, grated hard cheeses (Parmesan and Romano)
• Butter or margarine
• Fruit juice, fresh whole fruits, dried fruits
• Nut butters, jams, jellies, ketchup, olives, pickles, BBQ sauce, relish, vinegar-based dressings,
• Fruit pies   
• Raw veggies

Knowing what to keep in the freezer is a lot easier than the refrigerator. Basically, you just want foods, no matter what kind, to stay frozen! After the power comes back on, check foods for ice crystals. If there are still crystals, you can safely refreeze it again.

If you'd rather have the peace of mind that your refrigerated food is being kept cold during your next power outage, call the experts at Gas Fridge at 928-636-1956 to ask about our EZ Freeze line of products.

Gas Fridge shares reasons to own a gas refrigerator

Cold food storage is necessary for healthy living and survival. From the old ice boxes to today’s modern appliances, refrigerators have come a long way. They not only come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, but they are powered by different energy sources as well. Gas Fridge shares some of the reasons to own a gas-powered refrigerator.

You don’t have on-grid electricity. Gas fridges are a great option if your home or vacation home is not connected to a local electric utility. The EZ Freeze refrigerator runs on natural gas or propane. Propane is portable, can be stored, and has an unlimited shelf life when stored in a properly sealed container.

An electric refrigerator makes too much noise. Electric refrigerators have lots of moving parts: compressors, fans, and motors, all working together to keep your food at the desired temperature. Unfortunately, moving parts means potential for mechanical failure. Gas fridges have no moving parts, making them quiet and dependable.

You experience more natural disasters or power outages. When electricity goes off, all the food in your refrigerator and freezer are at risk. Losing a refrigerator full of food and/or medicines due to a power outage would be an expensive situation, and a potential threat to your health and survival. Having a gas fridge as a backup unit is one way to avoid that risk.

You are sensitive to EMF (electromagnetic field) emissions. There are a number of people who experience symptoms that they attribute to EMF exposure. Limiting the number of appliances and devices in your home that run on electricity can decrease EMF exposure. A non-electric refrigerator does not give off EMFs.

A gas-powered refrigerator gets as cold or colder than its electric counterpart and can use either natural gas or propane. With no moving parts, no EMFs, and no need for electricity, a gas fridge may be the perfect solution for you. For more information, Contact Gas Fridge today at 928-636-6674.

In the event of a power outage, you can remain safe and comfortable if you have these important propane components recommended by Gas Fridge

Nearly all home appliances, whether heating, cooling or lighting, depend in some way on electricity to function. When the power grid goes down, our expensive appliances don’t help us. Like it or not, the power grid is one of the most important parts of our infrastructure, yet it is also the most vulnerable. It’s not only severe weather conditions that cause power outages, but now we have the more recent phenomenon of the cyber-attack. Gas Fridge shares how you can remain safe and comfortable even during a power outage with these propane appliances.

A Propane Generator. Propane fuel is available even if your gas pumps are not running, as it is stored in cylinders. The shelf life of propane is virtually limitless. Unlike gas generators, propane generators will not be full of contamination or carbon deposits even if they haven’t been run for a long time. A propane generator will get your power back quickly and dependably!

A Propane Refrigerator. You can still have safe, convenient food storage, no electricity needed, even in crisis situations. Propane appliances are a viable solution whenever you need modern refrigeration without electricity. You can rest assured that you are ready for any kind of emergency.

A Propane Heater. Propane heaters come in many different sizes. All you need to do is to figure out the safe size for the space you want to heat. Your expert propane appliance specialist can help you to choose the heater that is right for you and your needs.

In the event of a power outage, you can remain safe and comfortable if you have the important propane components you need. It is best to purchase from a reputable source that is willing to stand behind their product through the life of your appliance. Gas Fridge is that company.
