This is why I prefer upright freezers. Everyone says get a chest freezer because they’re more energy efficient. My response is that it’s not efficient if I lose food in the bottom. With an upright it’s so much easier to rotate the food, know what you have and it’s easier on the back.
@ThePurposefulPantry
@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад
Yep - if the power goes out, chest freezers are also easier to save - but yes to all of the other points you made! I can store more food now, and it's SO EASY to get to everything now - less food waste to freezer burn.

So every time you open the freezer door to grab something or put something away, you hand all by itself grabs a bag of chocolate chips from the door, fills itself with a hand full of chips and then finds its way to your mouth ! That's your reward for having a well organized freezer - a little treat of chocolate chips......yum......

I have to laugh my friend! 😊 but I got to be honest. I did the bin thing too and it didn't last long. When Food is on sale especially meats, and you can't pass it up, those bins are gonna take up a lot of space and eventually one by one you will take them out. I tried the bin idea many times and it just didn't work for me. So what I've done was designated each shelf in the freezer for specific types of foods. One for meat, one for chicken, one for fish, one for freezing homemade dinners and odds and ends, and the bottom basket is for odds and small ends. I use my door panels for freezing small items I can place inside those one quart wonton soup containers we get whenever we order soup from Chinese take out. 😋 I love the jar idea for the doors too. But my jars become to valuable for canning and wind up having to transfer things out. But the wonton soup containers with lids work great as long as you keep liquids one and a half inch from the top.
@ThePurposefulPantry
@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад
Right - so you adjust. Nothing has to stay permanent. Whatever works for you works! Most of our meat is going to end up on the shelf canned, but this is the interim stage.

I would get a dry marker board the width of the freezer door. Mount it with COMMAND Velcro strips. Make the tape grid on the marker board. The command strips will be way less damaging to the freezer surface. I used this method to secure a framed cork board to the side of my refrigerator/ freezer and it has been securely mounted for 3years so far.

I use a dry erase board that sticks magnetically to my freezer. I have columns for each type of meat and list below what I have. When I lay out meat for the week I update my totals. I do a full inventory once a year when we get our beef and I have to rearrange. I don't really track the store bought meals/ freezer meals.

Good job! We stock the butter in the door. Top door shelf is cheese. The rest of the shelves in the door are butter. Each basket has the same kind of meat. Bottom basket is extra frozen veggies, meat etc. Uprights are so nice. Our Frigadaire has been the best investment ever.

Ok, I have what looks like the same freezer. My inventory is on a flexible magnetic dry erase board just exactly where you said you wanted yours. It's about 20" X 24". It works great. I divided the board into 4 parts. One for beef, one for pork and chicken, one form fruits and vegs and the last one for misc. like butter, nuts, bread etc. I used marks to show how many of something in the freezer and then each time I removed say a hamburger, I would erase one mark and go. Some items I don't inventory and keep track of because they don't stay very long. Like ice cream, frozen muffins, or snacks. Good Luck with your new freezer!

We know🤣🤣. Can’t wait for mine to arrive! Learned after many decades and our folks with chest freezers. A lot of things get lost. It was a shocker of what we found in in-laws freezer. There were things way too old on the bottom they kept repurchasing on the top. My folks thankfully gave up the chest in the basement years before they passed. We were all brought up with the chest being most efficient especially in a power outage, but we have generators and solar now.

The frost up kinds were built to last forever. Newer - especially new ones, that are frost free, like cars, now have a built in life expectancy of like 10 to 15 years, then it's cheaper to buy a new one, over trying to find parts to fix up the one you spent good money on. I had a repair man tell me, new appliances are now made kind of crappy and not designed to last. I think a good idea is to put away 20 - 50 bucks a month away and not touch it, so in a few years, when your expensive appliance gives up the ghost you already have the money saved for a new appliance.

I do a freezer and pantry inventory which I keep in my calendar because I have my meal plan on one side and my actual calendar on the other side. I put it in a sheet protector so I put the paper in the middle so I can pull it out to do my meal plan. I would hate to have it on the freezer because it isn’t where I need the information but everyone does things a little differently. I update mine at the end of the month and then use all of that to plan the next months meal plan. It would be super easy to put a board on the fridge or mark it there but it wouldn’t help me as much.

Investing in an upright freezer is one the best things we ever did. We use baskets that have holes in them, vertically store vacuum sealed foods. Butter in door, meat in baskets, bottom for hams, turkeys and extras. One basket had chicken etc. Dated and filed with newest in the back. This has really saved money and less food. waste. Best system we ever used. Been doing this for about a year. Surprised freezers din't come with baskets to help people with organization.

Love those bins. I use the reusuable shopping bags with handles and label the side of them and slide them in on the shelves because they are pliable & hold so many things when I vac seal meats and lay flat. i just pull out a bag and fill it from the bottom and take a meat package from the top as the top is the older stuff! Love it i have 3 tall upright 20 cubic freezers! I want more but the fuse box wont allow it right now lol Also I stock butter too & 2 of the 1 lb packages fit nicely in front of each other on the door shelves My 3 freezer doors are all butter lol

Congrats on your freezer. Upright is so much easier for frozen food storage (we also have a small chest freezer but for big bags of dry goods..primarily flour and legumes, keeps them from getting rancid and/or bug infested). The flash freezing shelf is a brilliant idea! I am always trying to balance my trays on top of other foods. As for inventory, I think a chalk board is the best way to go. Hang it near the freezer and keep altering quantities as needed - get two boards, one for meats and the second for veggies and fruits. Better than doing anything on the freezer door itself.

Congratulations on your new upright freezer! It is the only way to go. I've got 2 and I'm so glad that I didn't get a chest freezer.

I'm quite grateful for the job the chest did for us for so long - but yes, am happy about this!

Great organization of your upright freezer. I had a chest freezer and I’m short, so getting to the bottom was not happening. Look on She’s In Her Apron’s channel, she has a freezer inventory chart. I took the pruned one and had it blown up and laminated, works great.Thanks for sharing and have a blessed evening!!

Darcy, we were in the same boat with you concerning our 20+ year old chest freezer. We ordered our new upright freezer and it will be delivered Thursday. I love how you have your new freezer organized. I plan to do something similar. And your labels are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

I love the flash freeze shelf idea! Sometimes my trays are precariously perched when I'm trying to flash freeze.😁

Nice big freezer.... I tend to vacuumn pack most everything and file them in their own category bin like a file cabinet...saves alot of room & hassle trying to find items!...Good luck & Have fun organizing.... Thanks for the video!
@ThePurposefulPantry
@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад
Yep- I do, too, but we got to where we were just living off the top layer and I quit - now that everything is in and organized, I'll be processing a lot more vacuum sealed like we used to.

Thank you so much for this video!!! We have been looking for a good storage solution for our freezer for quite some time. Going to the container store this week! lol. And the idea of the extra shelf for flash freezing is totally brilliant!!!!! Couldn't post a photo here, but i used adhesive vinyl to create a reusable calendar on the side of my fridge. My fridge has a textured surface though, so i had to put down a base of white vinyl first, then put the black vinyl grid for the calendar on top. Its been in place for several years now and has held up well.

The inventory is a great idea. I currently have both a big chest and upright. Who k owns what’s in there. Just a side note, I get tall 1 lb butters. They fit perfect in the door.

As usual you are completely amazing!!! I have an upright and try to keep sections but it is a "slippery" system that hasn't held well. (ADHD husband - amazing but not high on organization.) Thanks for taking the time to share this. I'm very excited to give my upright an overhaul! I am curious about the electric tape grid. We have used a digital system through Our groceries list app which was nice because we could be at the store and see how much chicken we had on hand but it just doesn't get updated well enough and the system breaks down. So I can't say it has been the perfect solution for us.

@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад
Yep - an app doesn't work for us, either. We need 'pen and paper' kind of tracking.

Great job on organizing your freezer space. I keep track of our freezer inventory in a binder but love the idea of having a dry erase board on the door. I also love the idea of getting an extra shelf for flash freezing. Never thought of that. Genius!!! ❤

@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад
Thanks! I was excited when I thought about it as we were shopping and hoping the one we settled on would let it work. We couldn't find ANY in stock that wouldn't take a long time to arrive, so we bought the largest we could actually get, and I was excited to see that I could make it work!

@@ThePurposefulPantry oooo, I hope mine is big enough, just 2 of us. I have limited space and didn’t want to go too big for energy usage. In the video it looked like size I ordered, but pics can be deceiving. And yes, have to wait 2 mos and 1 more to go-sigh.😊

Congratulations 🎉 I love my upright freezer😊 Don’t forget you can freeze loaf bread. We buy a lot of bread when our favorite goes on sale and freeze it. We also have several 1/2 gallons of milk. I have lots of precooked hamburger that I vacuum sealed, raw sealed pork chops, hamburger and hamburger patties. Flour tortillas freeze and vacuum seal well too!
@ThePurposefulPantry
@ThePurposefulPantry Год назад
Yep! And now that I can see things again - and can properly organize and freeze, we'll be pulling out the vacuum sealer more for the things that are staying. The zip lock bags were for things in the front freezer that we moved through more and had no space for in the big one. But I'm hoping a large part of the meat will be canned over the winter.

Hi Darcy, I have done basically the same as you, have been for beef, pork chicken and other meat / fish. As for my inventory, I created a spreadsheet and listed everything by main heading, such as beef and then subheadings as two individual items. I keep the printed list on a clipboard and when I use something I just crossed it off. When my page is get too messy I update the computer and print a new list.

Everything in both my upright freezers is vacumm sealed & I find the stuff tends to slide around too much, on both the glass & the wire shelves. I tried the bins,,but still wasn`t working for me. So I bought inexpensive semi-see thru laundry bags...filled them up & stacked them up. no more slip sliding & falling. Not the prettiest..but as I`m the only one that gets into the freezer..I pretty well know where everything is. I keep map lists on the side of 1 freezer. But I can see the bins working if more than 1 person is getting in & out of the freezer. Looks good!
