DEEP FREEZER
[ITI/DPR/1507] J.C. 293
INTRODUCTION
A freezer is a compartment whose temperatures range between -12 to -9 °C or even lower. This compartment is often found as part of a fridge or on its own. It is used for preserving food such as meat or for making ice cream.
They are available in sizes ranging from about 4 cubic ft. over 20 cubic ft. Unless you have a very large kitchen area, this type of freezer is often stored in the garage or basement, due to its size.
This type of freezer opens from the top, which means that cold air is retained well, due to the fact that cold air falls downwards rather than upwards.
Therefore this machine is cheaper to run, as less cold air is lost when the freezer door is opened.
On the downside, due to the shape and size, it is slightly more difficult to organise the contents, see what is inside and reach inside to clean or remove items, especially if you are short. For this type of freezer that is able to hold much more, an inventory and some kind of organization is essential.
Chest freezers are supplied with removable baskets, which are useful to store smaller products and to separate different types of foods. It is also possible to buy extra baskets, which would improve organization further.
Chest freezers must be manually defrosted, as they are not available in a frost free model. Although defrosting must be done manually and takes more of an effort. it is required less frequently and it is more cost effective.
Chest freezers maintain the quality of the frozen food better and for longer and although the size and shape may be a disadvantage, they are cheaper to buy and more economical to run. Newer models are equipped with a fast freeze option high temperature warning system and the best models are of the highest energy efficiency grade (A++).
