Of course, if you don't keep things for a LONG time in there, it's a moot point anyway. I had an upright freezer for many years. It was so much easier to deal with!loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-50185012188638422242012-02-17T14:45:09.706-05:002012-02-17T14:45:09.706-05:00I feel sorry for you, I really do.

I need to clean out our inside freezer, not because of frost but just because it needs to be cleaned out and I keep putting off doing it.<br /><br />I've never heard that a chest freezer keeps food longer. Our upright freezer seems to work really well and is of course frost freeze. The food in there is rock solid, much more frozen than in our normal freezer in the house. We keep the upright freezer locked at all times and only open it occasionally.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921498774372487213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-51183438894645992262012-02-17T14:34:44.876-05:002012-02-17T14:34:44.876-05:00That is a very good system.

I try to be organized about it, but it frequently ends up at the bottom of my "list" instead of at the top where it needs to be.loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-5378613508050686712012-02-17T13:45:38.768-05:002012-02-17T13:45:38.768-05:00Oh, joy.

In winter, I schedule the job for a particularly cold day and just store the food outdoors. In summer, I clean my freezer just before the main harvest season when there is least food.SaaraRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149706088456426761noreply@blogger.com
