Had to buy new freezer this weekend. Can't tell you how many thank you, thank you, thank you's I said when I found old one had quit and I found out before all that hard work had to be tossed out. Called repair service and parts were $300'00+, so we opted for a new and bigger freezer. :-D
A gardeners dream…..more space in the freezer. Maybe even another row in the garden this Spring? Jerry
What bummer that it quit, but I am glad for you you found it before the food spoiled. I had a couple of times when the children or someone left the freezer open a crack and thawed everything. I put it all back in after I cleaned it out and refroze it. I was glad it wasn't a dead freezer.
Congratulations on your new freezer! Is it chest or upright? Whichever, it will be filled with all your garden and baking results--a delicious stash !
That's just mahvelous, Donna. It is a new one and ought to last you quite a few years. Congrats, miss.
Donna, I'm glad you got an upright. I find mine to be very convenient and frozen items are easy to retrieve. I did find out that labeling freezer containers on the side, rather than the top, makes it easier to identify the contents. Then I found out that you have to put the labeled side to the front . . . .
Donna S, So sorry you had to get a new freezer and give up your old one but am so glad you got to get a bigger one. You know me, it's always better to be able to save more more more food.....LOL
Since we buy hog from friend. It will be ready in 2 weeks. I have up right and chest and if goes. Will get another upright. Too hard to clean out
Congrats on your new freezer Donna. We have a chest freezer and sometimes Becky find food which had been forgotten that it was in there
In chest freezer put things in plastic milk crates. Rotate to top. So easier to clean out. And date each crate on label.
