Question

How cold is a freezer supposed to be?

Answer 1

Below freezing. For in-the-home, mine is at 20 F.

For my big freezer in the garage, its at about 0 F.

Answer 2

Frozen foods should be kept at 0º F (-17º C). The temperature in the freezer should not reach higher than 5º F (-15º C). If your freezer cannot

keep ice cream brick-solid, then the temperature is above the recommended level. Just remember the danger zone for food to grow bacteria is 40˚-140˚ Fahrenheit.
