Show me what's in your freezers :) !

[tmaan235]

Ok kiddies time to peel the cover back, let's see it!
In my case, it's burgers, brats, Amish butter, survival disks and a few steaks but they're shy...
Oh ya and some breakfast sausage.

[texastweeter]

Which one, I have 4...

[Richard Chrz]

Same… although, I’m certain yours are larger.

[Jerod Broussard]

A deer head, deer backstrap, and about 100lbs of freshly smoked sausage.

[Michael_in_TX]

100 lbs? Hmm.... next Meatup at Jerod's house?

[Jerod Broussard]

Michael_in_TX sorry all that is leaving for south Louisiana, I've got 30lbs for myself I'm smoking tomorrow. If we fill up my vertical smoker it will hold at least 60lbs. We were used to smoking 16 pounds at a time.

[Mosca]

Yeah.

[Michael_in_TX]

Love those recycle bins! I have the same. (I think I may have gotten the idea from you, actually.)

[Mosca]

I’m amazed that they fit like they came with it.

[Michael_in_TX]

And just this afternoon I was thinking I really need to inventory my freezer.....especially as I found leftovers from the last brisket I did that I had forgotten about!

Here is the disaster as it currently stands:



The idea was the bottom recycle bin was to be beef, the top one (they are stacked) chicken and pork. The left white bin was to be fish and the right bin was to be steaks I used frequently (skirt, flank).

Now I got sausage mixed in with the fish....and bread dough mixed in with the steaks....and a random frozen container of pickle juice dead center (that's the green thing at bottom center).

I need to start over.

[tmaan235]

It's not about style, it's about content, you're in

[ofelles]

I'd like to contribute but if I open the door then I will have to pick it all up and restuff it!

[FireMan]

Looks like I have some tydin up to do.

[Mosca]

Maybe some defrost is in order. I save all my styrofoam packing from stuff I get online, those plus a couple cheap coolers are plenty enough; once the freezer is empty it only takes about 20 minutes.

[jfmorris]

Haha. I think a putty knife or chisel to get some of the ice out of there will open up a lot more freezer space! Who's got time for a defrost?

[yakima]

IMHO, this is an extremely rude thread. I would not ask your bank balance, whether you own shares of BRKA, whether you have a cleaning lady.
I have enough freezer for my meat!!
If I knew how to do an emoji, I would.

[yakima]

Mosca, thank you.

[fzxdoc]

Well, pick an emoji now, yakima , for your post.

I'm curious to see which one you choose. I bet it will make me laugh.

Kathryn

[yakima]

I had no idea that there are so many emojis.
Need to figure out how to get them larger, so I can actually see them.
On my Mac, control+command+space pulls up a small box one can scroll thru.

[ilooklikeelvis]

Shame and embarrassment prevent me from taking/posting pictures of the content of any of my freezers! They kind of end up being the refrigeration equivalent of a "junk drawers" in my house.

That said, the one in the garage has a big old hunk of boneless pork shoulder than I'm saving for a rainy day, as well as some pizza dough and a couple of ribeyes. The rest is stuff for the kids - nuggets and what not. The freezer in the kitchen is mostly kids' junk too.

[jfmorris]

Why am I doing this again?

In the house....



Garage Fridge #1



Garage fridge #2:



Small chest freezer:

[Alan Brice]

Gallon and half gallon, all the way down to the smallest Gatorade bottles, fill with tap water, give em' a lil squeeze and you have dead air space filler also travel (non messy) ICE.

[jfmorris]

Mosca I've been working through meat in the deep freeze over the past several months. That chest freezer was literally packed solid to the top 2 months ago. The garage freezer that is just ice cubes is a fridge that is normally used for fermenting beer. I make ice in the ice maker in between batches, and use that ice in the cooling process on brew day. The messy top freezer with brewing supplies and random crap is the beer/condiment/spillover fridge for the one in the house.

[jfmorris]

Alan Brice the ice cubes are something I make in that one fridge in the garage for use in a recirculating immersion chiller on days I brew beer, and for use in coolers, etc. Then the fridge gets used to ferment beer and the freezer is too warm for making ice.

[Skip]

No Picture but take my word for it! Time to Clean-Defrost-Rearrange-Inventory.

[fzxdoc]

My two freezer's contents defy gravity. They're all organized by food type and even inventoried by shelf contents.

But even so, my method of putting something in the freezers usually involves both hands and one foot.

[Alan Brice]

Freezer space, much like my garage space...not fit for public display.

[Jfrosty27]

We only have the freezer on the fridge. Seems to be plenty for us. Never seems to get completely full. I keep on top of what’s in there and rotate the contents out consistently. Really nothing picture worthy. Wifey keeps saying we beed another freezer. In fact we had an offer of a free one just a couple weeks ago. I say, for what? We passed on it.

[Alan Brice]

Probably a good move. Our "Free" stand up model is huge but tends to frost over way too soon. The shelving is the coils. Bungee cord holds the door shut. Right now it is a space saver so I will have a place to put the new one that will take its place. We can never have enough freezer space. Otherwise I would have been an "oinker" on $2.99 brisky at Costco a cpl days ago.

[tstalafuse]

I almost got to show you a completely empty one. Some how, the plug came unplugged. Fortunately, I was getting out some snacks for last night's game and noticed they weren't frozen hard... Meats were all still frozen hard, but that would have been a serious bummer if I hadn't noticed..
