Good point. The charts are based on an ambient temperature of 40F. Most
people keep their refrigerators in the 34 to 36F range. So, folks should use
a calibrated refrigerature thermometer (or a Polder-type probe thermometer)
to check the actual temperature. Just be sure to allow at least 30 minutes
of closed door time before checking the thermometer, as each time the door
is opened the temperature will increase.
