Freezer left open :(

[Bumblebee112]

Just come home from work early with a horrific migraine to find that the freezer has been open all night 😔 Both work FT (one away from home for weeks at a time) so majorly rely on batch cooking for meals 5 days a week. Had just finished up about a months worth of batch cooking. All ruined 😔

I absolutely hate food waste so I’m absolutely gutted.

Has it all actually defrosted? We were away at weekend to find DD hadn't shut the freezer door properly, lots of watery ice down the front of shelves and at bottom front freezer. Looks like the freezer had been working overtime, as only thing that was soft though was fish in breadcrumbs (even peas ok) , which we eat last night and are all fine.

@Iliketulips ice lollies, ice cream and bag of ice are all liquid 😔 some other stuff still frozen solid and others soft. We have young DC and it’s mainly meat meals that have been batch cooked so I don’t think I’d risk keeping any

I found the same over the weekend and tbh binned everything because I couldn’t be sure it hadn’t defrosted. Like you I had meat based batch cooking and wasn’t taking the chance. Up side is having a reason to get rid of things that had been lingering in there for a while. Just about to start a whole bundle of batch cooking.
