We recently trendspotted cooking appliances that multitask over separate appliances for separate functions.
But what about refrigeration?
Some of you have a second refrigerator, maybe for beverages or the extra freezer space, but until the holiday season, you don’t really use most of the space. It’s probably 15 cubic feet, in total.
Then people might have wine refrigerators for storing and chilling their wine.
If you’re really lucky, you have an area for cold pantry storage.
Fisher & Paykel CoolDrawer
But if you don’t really make use of all the space those different appliances take up, you can see the genius in the Fisher & Paykel CoolDrawer.
Fisher & Paykel, the New Zealand brand best known for its DishDrawers, created a multi-temperature fridge drawer. It packs 3 cubic feet into a 33-inch wide drawer and adjusts the temperature setting based on what you need it to be at that moment. Amazing, right?
This is how our daydream plays out:
It can be a cold pantry for fresh herbs and produce leading up to the holidays.
Then days before you can turn it into a refrigerator to defrost your roast without taking up a shelf in your fridge for a few days.
The day of, convert it to wine mode it to chill wine and spirits. You can also keep soda and juice in easy reach for kids.
Afterwards, use the extra space to freeze (or deep freeze) or refrigerate leftovers. All at the touch of a button.
