Opal never learned to negotiate, ie: “Earl, would you like pot roast for dinner? Great! you go defrost the freezer and find the roast for me while I heat up the oven and assemble the rest of the ingredients!” Fair division of labor, I say.
I’f I’m not mistaken, quite a few actual freezers (i.e., not part of a freezer/fridge combo) are not frost free. Frost free uses much more electricity and is really not very efficient.
Rose is correct. Even commercial freezers are not frost-free. First, they cost a lot more to run, and second they “self-defrost” by constantly doing mini thawing sessions, which ruins the food you put in there to keep.
You are doomed, Grandpa. If you do not help, Grandma will be angry with you.If you do help, Grandma will be angry with you because you are doing it wrong.
.If you defrost a freezer, you are letting the frozen goods thaw unless you instantly transfer them to a second freezer..A frost free freezer only heats the area where ice forms (the evaporator coil) and if done properly, only long enough to melt the ice and only as often as needed to rid the ice.. Generally speaking, this should be safer and more energy efficient than traditional defrosting..
