Kesilapan biasa:
Many learners do not realize that *fridge* can be used as a verb and only use *put it in the fridge* or *refrigerate it*. Also, some may confuse *fridge* with *freeze* and think it means to make food hard and frozen, but *fridging* only makes food cold, not frozen.
Sinonim
refrigerate (More formal and common in written recipes or technical instructions; 'fridge' as a verb is more casual and conversational.)
Antonim
leave out (To keep food at room temperature instead of putting it in the fridge.)
