Freezer breakdown warning

If there is a way then there must also be an Easy Way

Freezer breakdown warning

Have you ever come home from holiday an cautiously taken something from the freezer wondering to yourself, has this defrosted and re-frozen? I do and I always think I am going to get food poisoning. I was going to buy one of those expensive detectors but knowing me I would not trust that either.

So I heard of this helpful tip. Before leaving home for several days, put a few ice cubes in a plastic bag and leave it in the freezer. When you get back it will be obvious if the cubes have defrosted and refroze, this will alert you that a power failure occurred and some of your frozen goods may be spoiled.
