Do you know how cold your freezer is?
« on: 29 August 2011, 16:57:37 »
It's suppose to be -18C or colder.....to keep food 'fresh' for longest.

Last week i bought one of those fridge/freezer temperature gauges......to my surprise my freezer was only at -10C  :o .....I think my old Lec freezer is on the way out......even on max setting it just manages -18C.

I did wonder how accurate the temp gauge was...so yesterday i bunged it in my mum's freezer for 20mins (which is about 6 months old) .... -22C (and it was only set on 2.5 out of 5) so im guessing its fairly accurate  :y

New freezer time me thinks....

Mine has a little display for reading and setting desired temp, so I keep mine at -22C.  My fridge is set to 4C.

Both compartments are Frost Free, with those iritating fans.

Would you like to spend ages defrosting them every 6 months  ;)

My next fridge/freezer will be frost free  :y

You must have a strong spoon for serving ice cream. ;)

A timely reminder, actually. Put a thermometer in one of ours a couple of days back. Must check what it is reading.

ive no idea to be honest, doesnt have a gauge on it and ive never tested the temp. i know it makes a mess if you dont close the door fully after opening it.

Thats an ice making compartment, and not suitable for keeping food frozen for more than a couple of days I'm afraid.
