I bought a freezer last fall. And before the current autumn season of large blanks, I think it is necessary to defrost it, wash it ... But how is it done? There are many boxes ...
Or should it be done in winter?

I defrost my 6-drawer Boshik only in winter. I take out the boxes and drag them onto the balcony. And I quickly defrost mine inside.
And then I tidy up the drawers and put them back in place. Time is precious so the contents don't melt
ANGELINA BLACKmore
Tanya, I understood everything. I will wait for winter)) Although I thought about another option - to eat up the freezer reserves to a minimum, then the remains that cannot be quickly destroyed)) drag the refrigerator freezer into the chamber ... You can, but I'm not sure what will happen.

to eat up to a minimum the stock of the freezer

Something the freezer never reaches such a state, always "eh, the box is full-full"

I agree ... We'll have to mobilize all the will into a fist and eat up without replenishment ...

ANGELINA BLACKmore, Natasha, if you urgently need it, you can now defrost the refrigerator / freezer.
You take out the drawers or put the contents in a basin, cover with a blanket / blanket (to cut off the access of warm air) and quickly defrost the freezer (for example, using a saucepan with hot water, constantly changing the water as it cools, removing ice that is falling off, etc.). ). Everything takes an hour and a half. During this time, frozen food does not have time to defrost in covered boxes from the freezer. Checked.

I do exactly the same as Lena Siberian, just put a fan in front of the fridge / freezer. Defrosting is very fast!

I wash my freezer in any season, I think now it is possible. We need to put things in order before laying new products. : girl_red: But I have two cooler bags. Big ones. They do an excellent job.
ANGELINA BLACKmore
And mnu has no fan ...

I thought about the pan, but looked at the skok there, in 6 boxes of deposits and it became scary to pull it all out - the heat is so hot ...

ANGELINA BLACKmore, Natasha, I don’t look at the weather at all, when I have time and desire, then I do it. That year it defrosted in a 30-degree heat. I took out all the boxes with groceries, where the boxes do not get - I put them in buckets and basins, put them in the bathroom and covered them with thick covers. The defrosting process did not speed up in any way, it melted so quickly in such and such a heat, the food did not even melt during this time

In my summer, in the heat, this does not accelerate in any way 2-3 hours, that's for sure, even with the use of boiling water for defrosting bowls on each floor
And no matter how you hide the boxes, they still melt during this time
Therefore, I defrost it only in winter.

There is no bath)) Current shower room))) Well, you can probably go there too, it's cooler on the tile floor.

well, yes, 2-3 hours, only I'm without any bowls, you can't run around with boiling water with your daughters, and nothing melts for me, doesn't even try




ANGELINA BLACKmore, Natasha, if not urgently, maybe wait for the weather to be cooler, otherwise it will melt even more, fig knows why it depends .. maybe on what products .. I forgot to say, I put the berries in the freezers of the refrigerator, they definitely can flow, but all kinds of meat and fish - I keep in covered boxes and that's it

Yes .. at least until the fall to hold out, when the minus at night begins.

ANGELINA BLACKmore, Natasha, you can try to place something in an ordinary refrigerator compartment, if there is space. And if there is a cold accumulator, then put it on the products, which will lie outside the freezer during washing. With the freezer, I had a fairly large cold accumulator.

cold accumulator
Anyut, there is no such beast, unfortunately. Well, about moving products from one chambers to others, as well as into the refrigerator chamber - this needs to be thought out. But still a little later. There are already a lot (although bald spots have already begun to appear in the boxes.

Oh bliiin! I need to defrost the freezer!
I've been going for a week, but I'm still pulling rubber. Girls, it's good that I have you!
I left to shift from one freezer to another, while there is room ... Otherwise, I was going to thoroughly stock up on pepper tomorrow.




FSE! Defrosts. ... Fuy, I was in time!

Girls, most of all I liked the method - a heater that blows with warm air, you put it opposite, and everything instantly melts, just have time to remove the water, after washing, already when I wiped it dry, I dry it a little, because the water is straight to perfect take out, and then extra ice when freezing. The heater is small, I put it on a stool nearby, it does not interfere with work. Try those who may come in handy.

Lenk, why is it so early to stock up with pepper? Do you have a season with. pepper came?
I always start filling the freezer thoroughly with sweet pepper not earlier than the end of August
And I turn off my chest every spring, in May, or at the beginning of June. I try to use all the reserves by this time whenever possible. I stuff everything that is left into 3 drawers of one refrigerator, and for the summer we turn on the old refrigerator, there is also a small freezer compartment there. But I put the dog / kitty hawk there. And I open my chest a little for airing and it has been resting with me for almost a month. But as soon as the berry begins to go en masse, I turn it on and begin to gradually fill. Usually already in September it is packed to capacity, the lid barely closes. I try to keep stocks from last year! This is especially true for meat and fish products.
Elena Tim
Nel, yes, my husband recently bought a soooo wonderful pepper in the store - well, just eat your mind! So I went on reconnaissance - to find out how much.
Last year I missed a gorgeous pepper for 80 rubles, it was not a pepper, but some kind of miracle. And I pulled all the rubber, like, tomorrow and tomorrow ... But he took it and ended and I have never seen anything like this anywhere else. I scolded myself like that, I remember. But, unfortunately, I do not remember exactly when it was, in what month. So, in order not to miss this year too, I decided to start exploration early.
But in any case, I was going to first ask the girls in the Moscow-purchased topic about pepper - where what is given and how much.

Just wait, I'll go and ask, I still don't sleep - I'll stay everyone there, or else, they are sleeping)))))

What do you understand by this definition? How do you freeze it, whole or sliced? It's just that our (Russian) ground red bell pepper appears in the end of August / mid-September.

You better tell me about the calamari from Travolka

ground red bell pepper.
I'm fucking red! I want a small, light, thin-rooted, semi-transparent.
And I will freeze in different ways: small cube - for lagman, and straws - for Chinese cuisine, and large squares - for meatballs "a la stuffed pepper", and ... Oh, I don't know, I want everything and a lot!




Shcha, I'll throw squid in "Coho" ...

I don't even know whether they remembered it or not, but I personally wash / defrost it with a steam cleaner. Takes about 30 minutes. The ice falls off, I wipe everything and pack it back. Food in boxes or boxes, covered with a blanket, stand quietly on the floor.

Soap so 3 times in two freezers in two refrigerators (and at the same time a couple of times after Vovka did not close them tightly - kapets stoloktites have grown) and a chest. The column is somehow simply defrosting, because it will be empty by the beginning of the new season and why should you flog the fever. Its mine in the usual way.
Elena Tim
I also thawed out with a steam last year - I liked it.
But this time (in the middle of the night I was impatient), I didn’t want to climb after him, rustling in the closet, so I used the old, time-tested, "old-fashioned" way - a thick-walled brazier with boiling water.
ANGELINA BLACKmore
Len, I have never forcibly defrosted. tell me - how is it a brazier with boiling water? Tell me in detail, for tugodumoF))
Admin
Quote: ANGELINA BLACKmore
how is it a brazier with boiling water

Yes, very simple! Boiling water in the brazier and on the freezer shelf. A brazier with thick walls and keeps heat for a long time, there is a lot of boiling water in it and the ice will quickly melt and drain down - have time to collect.
I put a pot of boiling water on the shelves
ANGELINA BLACKmore
Ta-ah .. where is the brazier? To the very bottom? And just saucepans on the shelves where the boxes were? And from boiling water will nothing to shelves? Will they burst from temperature changes?
Admin

Yes, at least in each drawer-shelf on a saucepan It will thaw faster.

Nothing will happen, that's the only way I thaw - with boiling water. No brazier, take a large bowl, saucepan.
In the course of cooling, you will have to change the water for boiling water, keep the kettle with boiling water ready. You pour out the cold one, pour new boiling water on the shelves.
Elena Tim
ANGELINA BLACKmore, Natus, yes, everything is very simple, so my grandmother also defrosted her "Zil-Moscow"
Any low saucepan or even a ladle will do, in my case this is a 24 cm diameter brazier. And thick-walled is better because it keeps heat longer. You put it on the fire along with water, wait for it to boil.And in the freezer in one of the compartments (I have three, put it in the middle), you put a wooden board, and on it - a brazier with boiling water, and close the freezer. The temperature rises very quickly there and the ice begins to melt quickly. This time I had to reheat the brazier five times, but the fur coat in the freezer was sooo thick, I barely picked out one of the trays, I thought I would break the nafik. But if the ice is small, two or three heating is enough for the eyes - just have time to collect water in the freezer with a cloth.




Oh, while I was writing, Tanya explained everything almost word for word
ANGELINA BLACKmore
I'll probably try. The current will first conduct an audit - what can be removed where.
Thanks, Girls !!!
Elena Tim
Quote: ANGELINA BLACKmore

It's easier for me with this - I shift all the junk into a large eight-story freezer, in which ice does not form. Damn, how convenient it is! ... And the little one hesitated with his "fur coats"
ANGELINA BLACKmore
I do not have an 8-storey one, and even without ice)) I have a freezer in 6 floors and a refrigerator with a separate freezer for 3 tiers. It is difficult to attach something somewhere. Everywhere everything is crammed ... it was, but while I was mentally preparing for defrosting I tried not to add anything, anywhere. It became freer. If you wait a couple more weeks, then it will probably be very good)))
Elena Tim
Natasha, you take out the trays together with the food and cover them with something to keep the temperature low, I always did this before when there was nowhere to attach a lot of freezer. And you put the brazier directly on one of the shelves, on the board.
ANGELINA BLACKmore
I understood everything, Len.
I will mentally prepare ... Defrosting you still need to.
Elena Tim
Hold on! We are mentally with you!
Katko
Lenka and Umka, you are contagions
Lose and peppers are necessary and squids and finally kada do everything

ANGELINA BLACKmore, I work on the refrigerator at a convenient time. Grew boxes, right on the kitchen floor put them side by side, covered with foil. In the freezer, I wet all the snow with hot water - I use a washcloth for washing dishes. While I am doing this, the water has already cooled down .. I put a new hot one. Soak up the snow again. By this time, he already begins to move away from the shelves.
I do the same with my mother in summer. She always has berries there. 6 boxes take an hour maximum. The berries do quite well, especially if they are covered with frozen meat on top.
