Hi
I have a stupid top up meter and this morning it went iff and wouldn't let me top up
Anyway electric was of for 25-30 mins at most- when I finally managed to get it to accept emergency credit and then since its let me top up
So i know freezer food will be ok , fridge will that be ok , I opened to check 20 mins after supply back on and it said 3/4 degrees on the little temp thing i have placed in door and 3 degree on main fridge display ( but this always says 3 so guess its what set at , rather than live display )
I read should be ok as long as don't open door during outage which didn't but opened since to check and now not sure if I can continue to open fridge as normal ( milk/ teas and coffees) or if I should leave alone for a while.

It'll be ok. I think they can stay cold for a few hours at least.

It will be fine. It stay cold in there for ages, half an hour isn't going to make a difference.

Yes, it'll be fine. Just don't open it in that time.
