LYC: power went out at my building last night at 3am (blown transformer). just called the front desk and they tell me

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Jun 26 '13, 14:22

the power will be back between 6 and 7. I JUST filled up the freezer a couple of days ago with a bunch of food. :( Pretty sure I've lost it all.

also, you can go buy a couple of bags of ice and put them into the fridge and freezer to help keep the temp down. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 15:23 2
- too late this time but we should all remember this can be done in the future. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 15:24 1
  - Lost power for over a week when Hurricane Isabel came through VA. It was fun... - Dr.Vermin Jun 26, 15:33
it actually helps if the freezer is full, too. it'll hold the cold better that way...nm - x Jun 26, 15:02 2
- more cold stuff to refrigerate each other? -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 15:17 1
  - Basically. Less air that warms up quicker. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 15:50
If you haven't opened it and it's relatively well sealed it should fine. - spamlet Jun 26, 14:29 7
- If the fridge isn't opened it should be ok for some time at least. We had a power outage some years ago for 2 days and the temp in our refrigerator - pmb Jun 26, 14:57
- eh. we leave refrig. stuff (not frozen obvie) out overnight all the time and never have a problem. -- nm - zork Jun 26, 14:32 4
  - it's a hot day. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:33 3
    - most stuff doesn't just immediately spoil -- nm - zork Jun 26, 14:34 2
      - I have a sensitive stomach and always am extra cautious when it comes to food poisoning. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 14:46
      - I'm aware. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:35
- yeah, filled the fridge too. oh well. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:31
don't open freezer, a full freezer will keep itself cold for a couple days actually -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 26, 14:24
enh, put it in the fridge, let it totally thaw, cook it ALL then refreeze it. - Andie Jun 26, 14:24 2
- and this says "half full will stay frozen for one day" and "full can stay frozen for up to two days" - if you don't open it. -- (link) - Andie Jun 26, 14:26 1
  - hmmmm, this makes me feel better. I have not opened it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 14:29
