Külmkapiosas

Külmkapiosas is an Estonian term that translates to "refrigerator compartment" or "fridge section." It refers to a specific area within a refrigerator designed for storing certain types of food at a particular temperature. These compartments are often optimized for different purposes, such as preserving freshness, preventing spoilage, or maintaining specific humidity levels.

Common types of külmkapiosas include drawers for fruits and vegetables, which typically have adjustable humidity controls to extend their shelf life. There may also be dedicated sections for dairy products or meats, often located at slightly different temperatures than the main body of the refrigerator. Some modern refrigerators feature specialized compartments like a "cold drawer" or a "zero-degree zone" for even more precise temperature control, ideal for preserving delicate items like fish or cooked meals. The design and function of these compartments can vary significantly between different refrigerator models and brands, but their primary goal remains the same: to enhance food preservation and organization within the appliance.
