Detailed explanation-1: -Keep your appliances at the proper temperatures. Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). Check temperatures periodically. Appliance thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ideal Freezer Temperature It’s pretty easy to remember: Your freezer temperature should be set to a chilly 0° Fahrenheit or below (-18° Celsius or below). Food stored at 0° Fahrenheit or below is safe to eat indefinitely (although quality and taste may be compromised as time passes).
Detailed explanation-3: -The ideal temperature range The freezing point for water and many foods is 32º F (0º C), so you might think that your freezer would be safe set around there. Wrong! The ideal temperature for freezers is 0º F (-18º C). The colder temp ensures that food freezes through, as well as prevents deterioration.
Detailed explanation-4: -The temperature of a freezer should be set at 0 degrees Fahrenheit so everything stays very cold. A freezer should be cold enough to keep food frozen and preserve it until they are ready to be cooked or reheated.
