eNDO-THeRM Refrigeration Thermometer
This little gadget reads the temperature of the food, not the air in your fridge, so you can set the fridge to the optimal 40-41 degrees, both saving energy
(typically 15%) and making the food last longer, giving you a very quick return on investment.
Also works for freezers.

 Keeping
refrigerated/frozen food at too low temperature wastes electricity by making the
refrigerator/freezer work harder than it needs to, whereas keeping the food too
warm puts the food at risk.
Use the eNDO-THeRM to correctly evaluate the exact temperature your
refrigerator/freezer is actually keeping the food at correct temperature without
risking food safety or wasting energy.
Every single degree you can raise your refrigeration air temperature (and still maintain the same and safe product temperature)
gives you 3 ½ % Energy Savings!
Most people are keeping their refrigerators just above freezing, using the
freezing of food as an indicator that it's too cold, and raising it just above
that. By raising the temperature six degrees by knowing what the food
temperature is, to the more optimal 40-41 degrees, you will be saving around
15-18 % on electricity while also increasing the longevity of your food.
Place the eNDO-THeRM in a convenient position mid-shelf, allow 1-2 hours and
read the eNDO-THeRM temperature. This gives the equivalent temperature of what
the fridge will keep food at this location in the fridge. If necessary adjust
the fridges thermostat and recheck after 2 hours, and repeat the process
until desired levels are achieved.
Bear in mind that there are likely to be areas or "zones" in your
fridge that are warmer, and some that are colder, typically in a range of 2-3
degrees F from low to high. You might want to check different areas of
your fridge to see where the warm and cold zones are, so you can put foods where
they are suited.
Different types of food have different optimal temperatures. Produce
stores best at: 41-43ΊF, cheese stores best at 45ΊF, and milk stores best at 37-38ΊF.
Typically, people "over-refrigerate" setting the temperature much
lower than it needs to be, and making the food not last as long.
Refrigerator
Taking all things into consideration, the general optimal temperature for a home refrigerator is between 40 and 41ΊF. Above that and you start getting into problems with spoilage. Too
much below that, and you start having problems with food not lasting as
long. So not only are you saving energy by elevating your temperature to
40-41 from a lower temperature, but you are also increasing the longevity of the
food.
You definitely don't want to go below 33 degrees F otherwise you will freeze
things. But you don't want to get close to that either, as the
close-to-freezing temperatures decrease longevity of the food, and are likely to
create zones that go to freezing.
Freezer
- Ice cream freezers: -5 degrees F.
- Regular home freezers: 0 to +5 degrees F.
