This 17.3 cu. ft. Smart Kimchi and Specialty Refrigerator was specifically designed to create the optimal environment for fermenting kimchi and specialty foods, using Super Precise Cooling technology to maintain specific temperatures.
Use it to store foods that need cold temperatures such as seafood, wines and cheese – this refrigerator offers 17 storage modes that create ideal environments for these perishable items.
Kimchi Refrigerators
Kimchi refrigerators are specially-designed fridges designed to maintain optimal conditions for kimchi preservation. While early models were chest-style models, now leading manufacturers such as Winia Mando and Samsung Electronics offer standing fridges that make using them simpler without needing to bend over for use.
These refrigerators differ from conventional models in that they directly cool the storage room, unlike regular fridges which rely on an indirect cooling system to draw cool air in from outside and circulate it within. While conventional models use this approach for food such as kimchi or vegetables that must retain moisture content, direct cooling would provide a much better solution.
Refrigerating Kimchi requires special containers that promote even air distribution to maintain steady temperatures, with their cooling systems working to maintain constant temperatures. Some kimchi fridges offer specific fermentation modes like one-night fermentation and health care fermentation technology that supports beneficial lactic acid bacteria growth. Furthermore, many fridges feature odor-eliminating systems and temperature sensors which can automatically adjust compartment temperatures.
Kimchi Chest Refrigerators
A Kimchi Refrigerator is a specialty refrigerator designed to replicate traditional Korean food preservation methods. Utilizing temperature and humidity controls, the Kimchi Refrigerator allows longer storage of foods like kimchi than can be achieved using conventional refrigerators.
Depending on their manufacturer, some models also feature compartments specifically tailored for one-night fermentation and health care fermentation. Some are equipped with dual action temperature controls while others use cool air curtain zones to limit fluctuations in temperatures.
Standing 330L Dimchae refrigerators operate by circulating cold air to each storage compartment based on its settings, enabling each container to ferment at its optimal temperature and minimizing refrigerator odors. You can select an optimal fermentation mode depending on kimchi type and salt concentration; otherwise, the refrigerator will automatically configure an effective fermentation process for each container based on temperature control settings alone. Having consistent temperature regulation during fermentation helps guide its progress while improving quality overall.
Kimchi Coolers
Kimchi refrigerators are specifically designed to meet the storage requirements for fermented and fresh kimchi products, while aiding their fermentation processes. They feature separate compartments to store both fermented kimchi as well as fresh varieties.
These fridges feature customizable temperature settings that allow you to set the ideal temperature for each type of kimchi. Furthermore, many models feature odor-eliminating filters and UV lights to maintain optimal conditions for keeping kimchi and other foods in their best shape.
Kimchi refrigerators boast features that make them more energy efficient than regular fridges, such as direct cooling systems that directly cool storage rooms versus conventional ones which rely on cold air circulation systems for cooling. This makes kimchi fridges more cost-effective than others when dealing with large amounts of kimchi production or storage needs, especially among large commercial enterprises that make kimchi. Top-loading models open like any regular fridge while free-standing side loading models allow partial opening for maximum energy savings.
Kimchi Drawers
Like their Korean predecessors who would store large earthen pots full of fermented vegetables underground to protect them during winter, these special refrigerator drawers work by maintaining a lower temperature than your regular fridge and are an effective solution for those who want to reap the benefits of kimchi without enough kitchen storage space for multiple batches at the same time.
Refrigerators designed specifically for fermenting kimchi typically feature two separate compartments with separate temperature controls to store already fermented kimchi on one side and ferment freshly made varieties on the other. Depending on their brand, some even offer features such as UV sterilizers or odor-eliminating filters to enhance fermentation processes further.
To select a particular setting, press the compartment button until it lights up. Some refrigerators offer various settings depending on your type of kimchi and salt concentration – toggling can help select your ideal mode before locking it in place – then the fridge will operate according to its predefined settings.
