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.

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. See similar questions...

If the Food has been defrosted we do not recommend re-freezing. Refrigerate defrosted food and eat in a few days. If the food is frozen you can put it in the freezer. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

There are several issues to consider when discussing the feasibility of using GLAD Bags in the microwave. Because the plastic will neither be heated by nor interfere with microwave energy, they can be used to hold foods or cover dishes that are being warmed or defrosted. The plastic used in these bags has a low melting point, however. See similar questions...

in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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!! See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Answer: Most commercially prepared frozen produce has been blanched in boiling water to destroy the enzymes that digest the foods. The enzymatic digesting process causes the food to wilt and discolor. Commercially speaking, this would limit the marketability and shelfability of the food, so it has to be blanched to increase shelf life. So it is still virtually identical to 'cooked food', because it has been "cooked", (blanched). See similar questions...

We use dry ice which is CO2 in a frozen state of ?109 degrees. You must be careful not to touch the ice. Dispose once the products are removed. See similar questions...

Add only the amount that will freeze within 24 hours, which is usually two or three pounds of food per cubic foot of storage space. Overloading slows down the freezing rate. Also, foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality. See similar questions...
