Back in college when I had a kegerator, we kept the large glass steins in the freezer. The problem with that is the beer would freeze slightly and you end up with little bits of ice floating in your beer. Plus your hands get cold, which is a bummer in the winter in Montana.
- lostlogin 2y agoThis calls for something a bit like the ridiculous fridge innovation: the butter warmer. ‘In this environment we are paying to cool, let’s have a warming element.’
- boomboomsubban 2y agoIs this a thing? My quick search isn't showing anything like that, the closest is the butter container, which is designed to be a bit warmer than the rest of the fridge. There's no heat element involved though.
- lostlogin 2y agoThis seems to be a thing that has changed or is changing. “Butter conditioners: These used to be a standard feature of New Zealand fridges, but they seem to have gone the way of the dinosaurs. We think that’s a good thing. Butter conditioners lower a fridge’s energy efficiency, and they don’t necessarily keep butter at a useful temperature anyway. If you want to keep butter a bit warmer, use the dairy compartment in the door.” https://www.consumer.org.nz/products/fridges/guide https://www.consumer.org.nz/products/fridges/guide
- boomboomsubban 2y agoHuh, it seems to have mostly been a thing in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. That'd explain why I've never heard of it, in the US we only had the compartment.
