What is the difference between refrigeration and freezing?
The temperature is the fundamental difference between the freezer and the refrigerator. The temperature in a refrigerator should be between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the Food and Drug Administration, a freezer must be set to 0 degrees Fahrenheit to keep food safe for storage and consumption later.
