Hello everyone,
I’m in need of a freezer for my kitchen. We have several food allergies in our family and are needing to adhere to a rotation diet. So, I would really need to keep everything organized by days such as day 1, day 2, etc. And I would also need to freeze ingredients individually rather than the totally prepared soups, stews, casseroles, etc.
I would prefer the manual defrost chest freezer due to the less cost factor and they offer more space. I’m thinking due to the space constraints of my kitchen that it would need to be no more than 20 cubic feet.
I’m really not sure what the ideal size should be. We are a family of four. I’ve read that on average the freezer size should be 1.5 cubic feet per family member. I’ve also read in an older version of the Joy of Cooking that it should be 3 cubic feet per family member.
Do you guys have any favorites? Any least favorites?
Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
