I need to defrost my freezer but it has food in it and I can't see a point when it won't have food in it.
How do people deal with this? I've got a cool bag and a few ice blocks but I can't see that keeping stuff frozen for the length of time it will take to defrost (or am I overestimating how long that will take)?
I always think about doing it when it's below zero outside as I figure then it should work with bags and ice blocks.
Then I am lazy and do nothing until next winter.
Good modern coolboxes keep stuff frozen for comfortably 24hrs, pushing 48 if full enough. Should be plenty if you clear the big chunks out. Keeping it outside is a great shout.
