Follow these steps to make your chest freezer use as efficient as possible!

Put It Away Right the First Time

The easiest way for things not to get messy is by putting everything away the right way the first time. Of course, if you have a family that likes to rush with putting the groceries away, this may be a struggle. But if your chest freezer is already out of control, there are a few simple ways to gain back your control again.

Take Everything Out

There’s no better way to organize than to start off with a blank canvas. Start by removing everything from your deep freezer. When all the contents are removed, take advantage of the empty space and thoroughly clean it out with a simple all-purpose cleaner. Who knows the next time you’ll get a chance to wipe your chest freezer down, so be sure to do an efficient job!

Containers

Instead of placing the food back in your freezer appliance so that everything is intertwined and likely to be muddled, separating your food with containers will greatly help you organize. First, you’ll want to sort your groceries into categories and make each container a category. Let’s say these are your categories:
– Meat
– Ice cream/ desserts
– Frozen fruit
– Ice
– Frozen food

Label each container and put the correct items in their box. This is a surefire way to always know where things go and where to find them.

Your freezer plays a big role in your family’s life, so it’s important that it’s easy to find what you need. Check out our GE Chest and upright freezers and start organizing yours today!
