Using a
freezer alarm to protect your freezer meals
It is everyone's
worst nightmare... you have a full month's worth of freezer
meals carefully labeled and frozen sitting in your freezer
when the unthinkable happens... your fairly new freezer suddenly
malfunctions and all the contents of your freezer spoil. So
should you protect your investment with a freezer alarm?
Freezer alarms
have come significantly down in price now where it is reasonable
to use on in your household freezer. Most freezer alarms work
in the same way... when temperature goes up and reaches 15°F
(-9.4°C) an audible alarm will sound alerting you to the
problem before spoiling occurs. This means if you take quick
action, you can save the contents of your freezer.
This is especially
handy for chest freezers, since people usually don't notice
a problem until it is too late. There are many brands and
styles of freezer alarms available, and can be ordered online
or through your local appliance store.
