They have been on your refrigerator and freezer cooking for a while now.
You have the techniques for cooking in large quantities from the inside out, you and your family eat better than ever before, and you're saving time and money. Maybe even enough money for a stand-alone freezer, you know your options open even more.
But there are so many options to consider when purchasing a freezer. How can you weed through them all?

Upright or chest freezer?

Perhaps the most obvious decision to make is the choice of upright or chest freezer. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Freezers have a smaller footprint than most freezers. They take up less space. They may be easier to organize, although to minimize Tips and tricks for organizing freezers that advantage. And it's easier to see what in them at a glance. The biggest disadvantage of a freezer is that it is less energy efficient. Every time the refrigerator door is to "fall" go cold air from the freezer and escape.

Freezers need more space, though they for this, can compensate by adding more space at the checkout. My freezer in my laundry room and regularly serves as a surface for receiving clothing. They are traditionally difficult to organize and to see what in them at a glance. You can baskets and other containers to corral various types of food, though, and most of the chests come with at least a basket of the "lip", suspended the freezer and provides a place to keep frequently accessed food. I keep bags of chopped celery and onions in me, as well as ingredients for a packed lunch. A large breastFreezer can be a problem if you are short and needed to reach items in the bottom of the freezer, but with boxes and bags with handles can help. I do not think much of myself into the ground in a treated food bag, so I can grab it by the handles. Freezers are very energy efficient. All that cold air stays in the freezer when you open the lid.

How big?

The next thing is to consider a two-pronged question. How much space do you need for a stand-alone freezer have, and where is the room located? And how much freezer space do you need? I began keeping my freezer in the garage. This proved to be extremely uncomfortable, and I moved into my laundry room directly to the kitchen. It barely fits in there, but the convenience worth a little crowded. If I had bought a larger freezer, it would not fit.

Most consumers information about freezers, while not well accept OAMC consideration when calculating the square footage of freezer space per person. They pretty much want to double these numbers if you are in a position to have. You can not overestimate as much as you footprint, energy consumption and other factors given. I'm single, I bought the smallest freezer available to me the time I bought myself, and I've regretted not having more space-time. On the other hand, you do not want to go so big that it's hard to keep the freezer full (albeit milk jugs of water can fill a lot of empty space and come in handy during a power outage). A full freezer will cost less to run than one with lots of dead air space.

Other factors that

I mentioned check consumer information before you buy (links at the bottom of this article). This is standard advice when buying household appliances and freezers are no exception. You can get a good idea of ​​how much it will cost to run a freezer, for one thing - to me is about $ 5 per month more than pays for itself in food savings and comfort.

Is it automatic defrost? While this function is a convenient, it can shorten the life of foods in the freezer by drying them out. You must decide whether the convenience is worth it. It usually takes me less than half an hour with hot water and a few towels on my small freezer defrosting twice a year.
