What do you do with frozen food when you defrost a deep freezer?

[orabrush]

I found space in the top freezers of two fridges. Also I filled up the bottom half of the esky with frozen blue packs and put frozen food on top. I left one ice cube in the esky to see how cold it was. It didnt melt at all. It took me less than an hour overall. I dont know exactly the timing of each group of frozen food i moved around.

You can probably put some frozen food against the back of a regular fridge if the fridge often freezes milk cartons and stuff accidentally.

We had a fairly large upright freezer which used to take about 1-2hrs to defrost and wipe out. We used to try and run the food down a little before defrosting, and then we just put everything from that into our normal fridge. Most of the stuff in the normal fridge will be fine on the kitchen bench for a while. Nothing used to melt and we never had any probs.

I need to clear out my fridge today...................

I use the big plastic spoon with the soup tester to scoop out the smaller ice and use a square bucket in the bottom to drop the bigger ice into when I cant just pull a large slab of frost out.

I have a little bar fridge that I have to defrost the box part.

I get sick of waiting so use a hair dryer to defost it.

Just dont burn the hair dryer out 🙂

is there such a thing as a frost free deep freezer so it eliminates the need to defrost a deep freezer that's proned to frost up?
