This is also why it's important to FILL the freezer as much as possible if you know you might lose power.

We lost power for 4 days, but I packed in every water bottle I could find before hand, and everything remained frozen for the entire period. Literally almost no space left for air.

We also did not open it, of course.




Plastic bags of water are even better because they leave no spaces between them.


Careful with that, it can be a massive headache when you want to try and get them back out again if you make the mistake of letting them freeze around something to where it's now stuck in place.


I too have had a freezer full of bags of delicious homemade chicken stock, each intertwined with and near-permanently bonded to the wire shelving.
