Do you feel as if you’re digging through rubble every time you open your chest freezer? All your frozen foods are scattered around or in a chaotic heap, frustrating your efforts to find what you’re looking for. You’re well-aware that organizing your chest freezer is necessary, but when you’re not sure how to organize it efficiently, the task can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. 3 steps for when you’re ready to take the leap, tackle the chaos, and get the most out of your GE Chest Freezer.
Step 1: Start with a Clean Slate
This probably goes without saying but it’s much easier to remove your deep freezer’s contents so that you can start with a blank slate. Show your GE deep freeze some love and keep food stored in it fresh tasting by giving it a good clean with an all-purpose cleaner. Now, you have a clean, blank slate to help you think strategically about where you want to place each item.
Step 2 : Put a Label On It
Before loading all your contents back into your freezer, consider using containers to group certain foods together. Think about how and when you are going to be using the items stored in your GE chest freezer, and group like items together. Label repackaged proteins, frozen fruit, treats, and other items and place them in order of use frequency. For example, your frozen fruit would be easily accessible if you make smoothies for breakfast every morning. Similarly, you can hide that sought after frozen dessert underneath other containers if you want to save it for special (or keep it all for yourself).
Step 3: Put It Back Where You Found It
This is the most challenging step, but it is the key to staying organized. Putting new items into their respective containers and placing them back in their designated spot will definitely take a few extra minutes, but those minutes become hours of searching and swearing when you can’t find that must have item from the deep freeze. This might seem like a pie in the sky dream for those with families, but it’s worth it to try. And try. And try. Repetition creates habit, so why not keep at it and see if it sticks? Tell us about it when it happens!
