While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

You can also use citrus fruits, oatmeal, vanilla extract, activated carbon, and distilled white vinegar as a deodorizer in your refrigerator.

Griddles offer more options in terms of what you can cook because there’s more contact between the food and the cooking surface. While flat-top griddles are great for steaks and burgers, they also work beautifully for nearly any protein or vegetable—zucchini, eggplant, fish, bacon, and more.
