Power Interruptions

If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company
and ask how long it will be off.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep freezer
closed to help foods stay frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
b) Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28.32 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food
frozen for two to four days.
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, use up or
can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen,
although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition
of the food is poor, dispose of it.
