After a power outage, you might worry about your freezer food. A simple method, the “one cup trick,” can help.
Freeze a cup of water with a quarter on top. When you return:
– If the quarter is on top, your food is safe.
– If it’s at the bottom, the ice melted and refroze, and the food may be unsafe.
– If it’s in the middle, check each item individually.
This trick is a great way to ensure food safety. Keep it in your freezer for peace of mind—better safe than sorry!
