Refrigerator-freezer combinations can be used for storing frozen food if the freezer is a true freezer (will maintain 0°F or less) and not just a freezing compartment. A better quality product will be maintained at 0°F or less. If a freezing compartment is used, store food for only one to two weeks.

You can temporarily store moist foods in the refrigerator no longer than 24 hours…let’s not forget, EarthShell® is biodegradable. You can store dry foods for any length of time. Extended freezer storage is not recommended.

Food will stay frozen for 36-48 hours in a fully loaded freezer if you keep the door closed. A half-full freezer will generally keep food frozen for 24 hours. If it looks like the power will be out for more than 2 - 4 hours, place refrigerated foods such as milk, dairy products, meats, fish and poultry in a cooler surrounded by ice. Perishable foods should not be left at temperatures above 40 degrees F for more than two hours.

Yes, the freezer and refrigerator must be emptied to avoid the contents damaging the inside of your appliance.

Delighted. We've heard some bad things about Norcold from time to time, but in our experience it has been bulletproof. We would do it again. In our case, the reality is that the staircase to the boat/bridge deck was a major selling point. We use it constantly as a convenience, and when raising or lowering the dinghy, it is an essential safety feature. Absent the stairs we'd have to leave the dink at some stage of hanging while we changed places via the pilothouse/salon route.

Because of the inert atmosphere in the can, the lack of moisture, and your cooperation in storing the foods in a cool, dry place, Ready Reserve foods have the longest shelf life of any dehydrated foods in the industry. Foods with the least amount of oils will store the longest, such as fruits and vegetables. Whole grains have even been found in the pyramids in Egypt that were still viable in our current time. So foods will vary in their storage time.

Yes, they can be frozen and then thawed out later, but our products will taste better to your dog if they have never been frozen. Even humans can taste the difference between meat that is fresh and meat that is frozen for long periods of time. Fresh is best for taste. Just cut off a slice right through the packaging and serve it in your dog's regular bowl. The cut marks on the package indicate how much to feed your dog. You can cut right through the packaging and it will fall away automatically.

Almost all of the materials in your refrigerator or freezer can be recycled. This includes the metal cabinet, plastic liner, glass shelves, the refrigerant and oil in the compressor, and the blowing agent contained in polyurethane foam insulation. Resale: Sometimes appliances that are in working condition are refurbished and resold domestically or abroad to developing countries.

Depending on the package you decide on, the space can be moderate to considerable. What we find is that the freezer can fit these containers well once its cleaned out from all the old TV dinners and frost bitten food items. However, we will store all meals in your refrigerator initially and leave the freezing up to your discretion. Either way, the food will be great!!

This depends on the number of meals you request, and the sizes of the containers, but it does generally require a considerable amount of refrigerator and freezer space. When I arrive at your home for the assessment, I'll ask for permission to peek into your refrigerator and freezer to see how much room you have available and to advise you on how much more space I'll need.

Yes. CORELLE can be used in refrigerator or freezer as well as in microwave oven. For use in freezer, please use with caution as liquid expansion may cause possible pressure for glass to break.

The space required will depend on your packaging choice (container and number of meals per container). We will work together to choose the most space-efficient yet most convenient packaging for your needs. For refrigerator space, I ask my clients not to go shopping the day before, so I can cool down your products while I work.

I typically need at least 1 shelf each in your refrigerator and freezer. However, if I'm preparing 30-40 plates, then a separate freezer is required.

Consult the energy guide in your owner's manual or visit HomeEnergy onlineand enter the required information. The Department of Energy also provides a formula for calculating energy usage for various appliances. Energy consumption is rated in kiloWatt hours/year (kWh/y). Modern refrigerators consume an average of about 500 kWh/year, while a unit manufactured 20 years ago consumes an average of approximately 1,200 kWh/year.

A legitimate concern and one that can be easily handled on a local move. To prepare your freezer--pack all of the contents in small cartons and then return them to the freezer. On move day, the movers can then temporarily remove the boxes while handling the freezer and reload it when it is safely on board the van. This way you are able to use the freezer like a portable cooler without risk of damage.
