I’m a huge fan of having extra freezer space! With everyone trying to have extra food on hand, it’s a great time to discuss what to look for when buying a freezer. The biggest question is whether to get a chest or upright freezer. They both do the same thing, but are really very different in terms of how you can store food. Here’s my breakdown on chest vs. upright freezers (I’ve had both types, and definitely see pros and cons in both) to give you advice if you’re thinking about buying a freezer.
If you are just starting to research and ponder a freezer also check out posts we’ve done on:
What to Look for When Buying a Freezer
Chest or Upright?
Chest freezers tend to be cheaper than their tall counterparts, and also come in larger sizes. They are great for those who buy bulk foods and want to store items for a long period of time. It is also easier to store larger items. They are considered to be 10 to 25 percent more efficient than upright freezers. The only downside is organization can be difficult with no shelves. and you have to bend over to get things out. They also take up more floor space.
Upright freezers are best for those who buy smaller quantities of food. With shelving, you can organize and find items quickly. They do take up less floor space, but consider the space needed to open the door as well. They are less efficient since the door seals but is not pressed down tight like the lid of a chest freezer. Because of that, in the event of a power outage, they will also not stay as cold as long as a chest freezer. Upright freezers come in two models, a self defrost or manual defrost. There are pros and cons to both, but it is reported that manual defrost freezers maintain more constant temperatures.
Other Things to Consider
Once you decide between a chest and an upright freezer, there are a few more things you’ll want to consider when buying a freezer.
As part of the series I’m doing on freezer recipes this summer, I wanted to share not just freezer meals but components of meals that can be frozen to make dinner easier. You may think freezing food for meals is a waste of time if you’re home all day, but trust me: having things that are mostly ready to go straight in the oven is a lifesaver when a day has been harder than normal or your one-year-old is wanting to be held constantly.
Today I’m going to share four freezer marinades for chicken. You put the chicken in with the marinade, freeze it, and then pull it out to thaw a day or two before you plan to cook it. The chicken marinates while it thaws and is ready to be put on the grill or in the oven for dinner.
Another great thing about the recipes I’m going to share today is that you can make them in batches. I froze 7 bags of chicken in marinade in less than an hour. It would have taken only a little less time to freeze one of them, so doing a bunch at once was totally worth it.
For more on freezer cooking, see how to save money by freezing food.
4 Freezer Marinades for Chicken
These recipe amounts are each for ONE meal. I cook about 3 lb of chicken for a meal, which usually gives us at least one meal of leftovers. I did all of them at once, so that we can have 1-2 of these meals a week for the next 4-6 weeks, but you can make a bunch of batches of one kind if you want. Keep in mind these are OK to be in the freezer for about 3 months, so don’t make so much that it goes to waste!
Also keep in mind that these marinades are not exactly what you’ll find in the recipe that I’ve linked. I’ve adjusted the recipes to make sure there was enough liquid and that it would work. But the recipe will tell you how to cook the chicken once you’re ready to eat!
The first step is to go ahead and label your freezer bags. Do this now so the permanent marker won’t smear.
I printed out what was going to go in each bag—I did two of each.
