IX - Related questions
Food-safety authorities generally recommend between 0 and 4°C in the coldest part of the fridge, and -18°C in the freezer. A dedicated thermometer, placed on a middle shelf, checks this setting more reliably than the sometimes-approximate display on some appliances.
Yes, generally: an ice pack melts more slowly than a regular ice cube thanks to its internal cooling gel, and above all it leaves no meltwater in the cooler or insulated bag once thawed. It is also reusable indefinitely simply by putting it back in the freezer.
