In 1934 the first refrigerator is made. Here you can see what the first models looked like. Here it is more of a ice box with the refrigerator on top, this was invented by Jacob Perkins. Oliver Evans was the inventor of the mechanical piece that causes a refrigerator to stay cool, at least with a vapor now instead of the liquid. Before they had this working piece they would fill a box with ice, then throw all goods that needed to remain cool in. They would put things such as meats under the ice in the bottom since they needed to stay coolest then milk could sit on top, now with this new invention they could place their goods where they liked. Also in the early 1850’s Dr. John Gorrie invented the first ice maker. Now we can keep our food safe from bacteria and put ice in our drinks! This is so cool….literally!
