Power Interruptions
If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company
and ask how long it will be off.
1.
If the power will be out for
24 hours or less
,
keep both
refrigerator doors closed
to help food stay cold and frozen.
2.
If the power will be out for
more than 24 hours:
a)
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food
locker.
OR
b)
Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for two to four days.
OR
c)
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume
or can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER:
A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
