Larder fridges

If you’re someone who loves stocking up on fruits, veggies, and dairy products, then a larder fridge might be your perfect match. Unlike their combination fridge-freezer cousins, larder fridges dedicate their entire internal space to chilled storage, making them ideal for those who prioritise fresh produce.

What are the benefits of a larder fridge?

• Ample Space: Larder fridges boast a significantly larger capacity compared to fridge-freezers. This translates to more room for your favourite groceries, from bulky watermelons to overflowing salad bags. No more Tetris-ing groceries to fit everything in!
• Organisation Nirvana: With all that extra space, you can create a designated spot for everything. Gone are the days of digging through the fridge for that elusive tub of hummus.
• Fresher Food, Longer: Many larder fridges come equipped with clever features like humidity-controlled drawers and multi-zone cooling. These technologies help maintain optimal conditions for different types of produce, extending their shelf life and keeping them fresher for longer.
• Energy Efficiency: Since they don’t have a freezer compartment, larder fridges tend to be more energy-efficient compared to combi models. This translates to reduced running costs and a lighter footprint on the environment – win-win!

Common uses of larder fridges

• Ideal for those who do frequent shopping trips: As larder fridges don’t have a freezer compartment, they are ideal for those who shop little and often and prefer to keep fresh produce on hand.
• Perfect for smaller kitchens: Undercounter larder fridges are a great space-saving option for smaller kitchens.
• Great for those who entertain a lot: Larger freestanding larder fridges offer ample cold storage for drinks and party food.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Larder Fridge

• Size Matters: Larder fridges are typically taller and wider than standard fridge-freezers. Make sure you have the space in your kitchen to accommodate one comfortably. Measure your designated spot carefully!
• Do You Need a Separate Freezer?: If you rely heavily on frozen food, you’ll need to consider a separate chest freezer or under-counter freezer alongside your larder fridge.
• Features: Larder fridges come with a variety of features like adjustable shelves, spill-proof glass shelves, and integrated lighting. Decide which features are most important to you for optimal fridge organisation.
