HOW DID THE FRIDGE CHANGE THE WORLD
Before the early 19th century, people relied on ice, snow and naturally cool areas in their houses to preserve foods that were for the most part produced locally.
Today refrigeration technology in commercial food production and at home means that we have easy access to a broad array of foods from around the world. This change has a significant impact on the way we shop for food, and how we manage the food we purchase.

The only way to preserve meat and fish was by salting. Each culture had their own ways of keeping their foods cool and preserved. The ability to preserve foods without altering its original taste and nutrients was very important
These methods of refrigerating can be traced back when the Chinese started to cut ice blocks for refrigeration purpose. Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans placed large amounts of snow into storage pits that were dug into the ground and insulated with wood and straw.
Ancient Egyptians filled jars with boiled water and put them on their roofs at night, exposing the jars to the cool air, producing ice
Later, 18th century England had icehouses, lined with ice that were collected in the winter. In these icehouses, sheets of ice were packed in salt, wrapped in strips of flannel, and stored underground to keep goods frozen though the summer. These breakthroughs in ideas and methods led the way to the production of the technology used in refrigerators of today
The first practical refrigerating machine was produced in the Industrial Revolution was the time when many important inventions were created and improved, including the invention of the first practical refrigerator
