Freezer - Current prices from flyers

The Freezer is an essential accessory for most ordinary households. You can also choose a suitable type depending on how long the food is to be preserved by frost.

Perhaps no household today can do without a very practical and necessary device, which is a freezer. If you opt for a freezer, which should be a separate unit and not part of the refrigerator, then you have two options.

Counter or drawer freezer.

• A more common type is a drawer freezer. The food is stored here clearly, and it is possible to separate, for example, vegetables from meat or some aromatic foods. The drawer freezer is also much more compact and can stand without problems in a normal kitchen.
• Counter freezers usually belong to the equipment of shops or establishments where food is prepared. But we see it more and more often in ordinary households. Here it is used mainly for storing food for a longer period. The counter freezer has much better insulating properties and the food in it will remain unchanged for a longer period. The capacity is also not reduced by drawers, and therefore it is larger in content. Thanks to these properties, counter freezers are more energy efficient.

Given that we cannot do without a suitable freezer today, we may wonder how our ancestors solved this problem. It's very simple. They used mainly seasonal foods, so preservation was not such an important problem. In addition, they did not make as much supplies as we are used to today.

• A few tweaks that replaced the freezer, but they still had.

            - The meat could be stored for a long time in a suitably excavated cellar, into which ice blocks were introduced in the winter.

            - The second option was to preserve food in various containers.

            - And the third option? Invite neighbours and simply consume the surplus together.

The first freezer can be considered a metal case in which ice was stored. If the door did not open and the container was cold, the ice and therefore the food lasted a long time.
