Defrosting your freezer is never fun, but here are some tips that speed the process and help keep your food frozen while you are working.
Grab your coolers and fill them up.
This is what we needed to empty!
The icy build-up on the shelves. We did not empty the contents of the door. We had jams, cheese and juices. If you did not want your food to thaw, take it out. We took the cheese out.
For the items that didn't fit in the cooler, we covered them with blankets and bean bag chairs.
Disposing of the ice.
I do not endorse what we did. A hair dryer works well, too it's just a little more labor intensive than a heater. Using a solid object you can grip, to help get the ice off. Make sure you aren't too aggressive or you may break something.
This is the defrosted product.
You can see that the homemade jams and juices started to defrost, but didn't completely thaw.
This is the finished product. We used boxes from Aldi to help separate our food and keep it more organized.
