There are household chores that are pushed back over and over again… and the de-icing of the freezer is clearly part of it. Yet this small chore that is religiously avoided can be expensive, literally. A cluttered device of ice consumes much more electricity and retains much less food. Good news: there is a way to take care of it quickly, without taking the lead and without complicated tools.
Why Frost Is Really a Problem (and Not Just Aesthetic)
We tend to think that the layer of frost in the freezer is a detail. Actually, not at all. The thicker the layer, the harder the device has to work to maintain the right temperature. The result: your electricity bill is rising, and your food is less well preserved. A clean, frost-free freezer is a freezer that really works the way it should. And once you get used to taking care of it regularly, it really doesn’t take long.
