My Freezer Purrs Like a Kitten!

Saturday, March 22, 2008

When I go away at Xmas for two weeks to visit family I make sure to completely defrost my freezer. The food is given away to someone in my local Freecycle and the freezer is completely turned off for two of those weeks.

When I come home it's time to give my freezer a good wash through then back on with the electric and a 'big shop' at my freezer food store.

But here's my little trick. To save the build up of ice, after I have washed and dried the insides of my freezer I coat the walls and shelving runners with a good smearing of Glycerin.  Glycerin is available cheaply in your local pharmacy.

No ice build up and I extend the life of my freezer as it's not working so hard.   It purrs like a kitten all year long! =^..^=
