Refrigerator Drawers
Pull open fridge drawers one at a time

Make a fridge that opens drawer by drawer, not with one big door: you usually know what's in each drawer because you habitually put all X in drawer Y, etc., and so you would open just one drawer and the rest would remain sealed and cold. When you pull open a drawer, the back of the drawer would seal the opening normally sealed by the front of the drawer. And you would be able to empty and clean the drawers one at a time without the rest of the fridge warming up.

Sub-Zero 700 Drawer Refrigerator http://www.subzero....ts.asp?section=s700
02 Nov 02 | A little more mainstream than the commercial version above, but probably a heck of a lot more expensive. [bristolz, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

       Would stop the kids holding open the fridge door until penguins begin to arrive.

       > How would the cold air circulate through this?   

       The drawers could be metal cages on the tops and sides, so cold air would circulate freely around drawer contents while the drawers are closed. The back of each drawer would be solid so it would form a seal when the drawer is pulled open.   

       Have maybe four or five horizontal drawers for food and one or two tall vertical drawers on the side for things you usually throw in the door of a conventional fridge.
