Rather than having to empty the entire freezers - we have been on holiday and at some point the electric meter ran out so there was no power. When we got home the inside of the fridges and freezers was still cool and there was still ice in one freezer, but the ice lollies had liquidized. I think I probably won't risk the uncooked meat but as long as the frozen peas and cooked pasta sauces etc don't smell or taste funny they should be OK, shouldn't they?
