Refrigeration has dated back to ancient times and the very first refrigerator dates back to 11th century and was made by Persian physicist and chemist, Ibn Sina they created a refrigerated coil using workshops tools. But the refrigerator never took fame till the 19th century where an American
engineer Nathaniel B. Wales introduce the idea of electrical refrigeration unit. From there the first electrical refrigerator was produce since then changes have been made to fit the household like bottom cabinets. But in 1918 William C. Durant bought the idea of the electrical refrigeration unit and started the Frigidaire Company where he started to mass produce refrigerator. Past another 10 years the US was introduce the General Electric “Monitor-Top” refrigerator which was perfect for the average household.
Another 30 years the automatic defrosting was introduce as well as the automatic ice maker. As the years go on a the refrigerator becomes more efficient and the freezer was added on.
This was accomplish through trial an error there were people would died by eating bad or rotten ingredients till someone found a way to refrigerate perishable goods.
The refrigerator is the most important invention because we never had the fridge this would make our life as a chef a lot harder. Being able to store perishable goods and keeping it fresh is great because it allows us to use ingredient that would last 4 hours in room temperature to last for 3 day this helps us prevent money lost and allows us to use perishable good to create great dishes.
