Since the worst part of summer should never be butterscotch ice cream
The sun doesn’t just shine. It bakes. During this time, there is one thing that each and every Indian indulges in for solace, Ice cream. The moment your fan pushes out warm air, or the AC gives up, we are reaching for the freezer.
But for most people, the absolute worst part of summer is dealing with a frozen slab of butterscotch.
Most of us don’t realize just how wrong we’ve been keeping ice cream.
What you imagine/wish for is a treaty creamy scoop effortlessly gliding onto your spoon. Instead, what you actually receive is a tub so rock solid it could knock someone out.
Why does this issue occur? Guess what, even better, how do you resolve it?
On this World Ice Cream Day, let’s understand the fact that the right temperature in your freezer can simplify your dessert cravings, especially in a country like India, where July feels more like a sauna.
First, the real issue: Freezers aren’t built with dessert in mind
Most freezers are just cold.
They’re designed for meat, peas, and frozen parathas. And they work well for that. But ice cream is different. It needs precision. You can’t treat a delicate, air-whipped dessert the same way you treat a frozen chicken leg.
When the freezer is too cold, usually below -18°C, your ice cream becomes hard as a rock. You need to either microwave it for a few seconds, risking meltdown or wait 20 minutes by which time everyone’s angry.
Let’s face it, it kills the joy.
Now imagine a freezer that understands what you want from your ice cream. One that keeps it scoop-ready, soft but not melted, and ready to serve at a moment’s notice.
Sounds like a dream? It’s not.
The technology scoop – What is a convertible freezer section?
Think of it as your freezer’s smart cousin.
Convertible freezer modes let you change a part of your freezer to match your needs. One day, you might want it to store chicken. Another day, you want it to store mango kulfi or choco-chip ice cream at just the right consistency.
And during the hot months especially in July you can switch to a softer freeze that keeps your dessert creamy and ready-to-eat. Not frozen solid. Not melted. Just right.
It’s like giving your freezer a brain.
Why temperature zones matter for ice cream
Here’s a fun fact. The ideal temperature for storing meats is around -18°C. For peas and frozen veg, maybe a bit warmer. But for ice cream?
The magic number is around -12°C to -14°C.
That’s the sweet spot. It’s where your ice cream doesn’t melt, but also doesn’t feel like a concrete block.
Now ask yourself, does your current freezer let you choose that? Most don’t.
But new-age smart refrigerators do. Like the Lumiere 630L 4-Door Convertible Refrigerator. It comes with a convertible 103 liters section that you can shift into Soft Freeze Mode. Which means scoop-ready ice cream every single time.
Ice cream is more than dessert in India
Before we go deeper into the tech, let’s pause and think about what ice cream means in our homes.
- After-school treat for kids
- Midnight stress-buster for college students
- Post-meal must-have for guests
- Sunday binge for couples on Netflix night
- And during summer, practically a food group of its own
We don’t just eat it. We emotionally depend on it.
Which is why it’s so frustrating when your freezer turns it into a punishment. Bending spoons. Waiting 20 minutes. Ruining the texture.
Modern Indian homes deserve better.
Why your current freezer is killing your ice cream vibe
Here’s what usually happens:
- You put your favourite tub in the freezer
- It freezes completely solid
- You struggle to scoop it
- You leave it out for 15 minutes
- It melts unevenly soft outside, rock inside
- You put it back
- Ice crystals form
- It’s ruined
That’s because normal freezers don’t understand how delicate ice cream is.
It’s a mix of air, fat, sugar, and water. Freeze it too hard, and you destroy the air pockets. Thaw it too often, and the fat separates. What’s left? Ice blocks and disappointment.
That’s why a freezer with adjustable settings is no longer a fancy extra. It’s a necessity if you genuinely love dessert.
So what’s the solution? A freezer that adapts
The Lumiere 630L 4-Door Convertible Refrigerator HRB-700KGU1 isn’t just big. It’s smart.
Let’s explore how it transforms your ice cream life.
What makes the Lumiere perfect for ice cream lovers?
1. Convertible 103L Section
This is where the magic happens.
You can turn this compartment into a fridge, freezer, or soft freeze. That means you can keep your mango ice cream at the exact scoopable temperature without letting the rest of your food suffer.
It’s flexible. You’re in control.
2. Smart Sense AI
This isn’t just a buzzword. It’s useful.
The AI tracks when and how you use the fridge. If you usually grab ice cream post-lunch or during IPL nights, it adjusts the cooling pattern. So your dessert is always at the right texture, right when you need it.
3. ABT Pro Technology
Indian food is full of aroma, sometimes a little too full.
But ice cream and smells don’t mix. Nobody wants vanilla ice cream that tastes faintly like fish fry. These features remove odours and bacteria, keeping your desserts clean, fresh, and pure.
4. 630 Litres of Space
Big family? No problem.
You get 425 L of fridge space, along with 103 L of convertible space and 102 L of freezer capacity. Perfect for stocking different ice cream flavours, popsicles for the kids, kulfi moulds, and even dessert trays for hosting.
Real Indian moments where this freezer shines
The ‘pati-patni Netflix night’
You’re 3 episodes into a crime thriller. The mood is set. You need dessert. With Haier’s soft freeze setting, your chocolate truffle ice cream is ready to go, no microwave, no waiting.
The ‘kids back from school’ snack attack

The ‘relatives are visiting’ dinner party
After biryani, you want to serve kulfi or kesar pista in style. With the convertible mode, everything’s perfectly set. No melted mess, no frozen rocks.
But is this freezer only for desserts?
Not at all.
That same convertible section can be used for:
- Drinks during parties
- Extra fridge space when guests are staying over
- Storing dairy in winter
- Freezing samosas or fish when needed
It’s not just about ice cream. It’s about control. It’s about a fridge that adapts to your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Bonus: Expert tips for ice cream storage
Want to become an ice cream pro at home? Follow these tips:
- Use air-tight containers: Avoids freezer burn and keeps flavour locked in
- Don’t store in the freezer door: Temperature fluctuates the most there
- Avoid repeated thawing and freezing: It messes with texture permanently
- Use silicone scoops or warm spoons: For perfect round servings
So, is it worth it?
Here’s the question most families ask, Is investing in a smart fridge just for ice cream worth it?
And the answer is it’s not just about ice cream.
It’s about lifestyle. About comfort. About saving time. About hosting better. About feeling like your home keeps up with your pace.
And yes, about enjoying a scoop of almond fudge without hurting your wrist.
