Chest freezers - anybody got one? Know anything about them? Gwan, come and talk to me

Wondering whether to get one to have in garage. Currently have fridge freezer that's OK for day-to-day, but no good if I batch cook (which I'd like to more).

Anyone got any recommendations? Any brands to avoid?

It's chilly here in the garage thinking about chest freezers isn't it?

100x, why are you in my garage?

LOL at frozen norks!

Brrr.

I should have done this shouldn't I? Pulling my hat down over my ears.

I'll put the kettle on - come in and we'll have a cuppa

Oooh thank you, I'd love to. But what if someone incredibly knowledgeable pitches up here and starts going on about brands and this is good in a chest freezer and that bad, and we're inside in the warm chatting away?

No you must stay here. I'll stay too for a bit, and bump about a bit and look through the PILES of things in the corner until someone turns up. [loyal]

Thank you, 100x! Rummage all you like - chuck anything that doesn't look useful, please

WW, does your mum stand by it and say "bugger"? Frost-free Thank you.

Sugarelly?

I knew it'd be worth sticking about in this garage for a bit. Is she american?

we have one

it is big

I but loads of lollys and pizzas from lidls to try and fill it up

luckily it now had huuuuge meat joint for xmas dinner

I am very glad I have one

Good grief! How does she get into the chest freezer then? Does she have steps?

PMSL at sugarelly - I wasn't casting aspersions on your mother's vocab, btw - but you said your mum swore by her freezer

I love her. I'm going to stand in her garage now.

Ooh, still here - and with a clipboard!

Sugarelly! You didn't really think I'd leave you without even one brand name did you?

Yes I love her. I think she sounds great.

do you have a door from your house into your garage?
we don't, we only have a chest freezer in the garage so at 11pm when i need (!) ice cream, I have to go out in my dressing gown, round the front of the house and into the garage.
We are getting a fridge freezer for the kitchen in the new year....
