In a power outage, how long will food stay good in a fridge/freezer?

Question

(Obviously I will only be opening it when I absolutely need to)

Answer 1

if newer model at least 6 hrs if u keep the door closed......

Answer 2

depends on the food stuff like milk will spoil very quickly all dairy products will s0ke w9pp past a day or so

Answer 3

That just depend on what the food is.  If inside the fridge/freezer it is at room temp then there is no difference or it will vary only by a bit.

Anyways, they should be preserved for a few hours. some longer, some sooner.

Answer 4

I think without opening doors that a safe bet would be about 8 hrs in refridge and about 12 hrs in freezer depending on the heat and humidity of the season. In the winter it can stay longer in fridge or freezer .

Answer 5

The fridge will keep at most (assuming 70' indoor temp) about 12 hours, the freezer may last 36 hrs (Day and 1/2) but the test is the food. Ice cream will usually go out 1st because it has to be kep the coldest but dont remove it because it can help keep the other things cold and from thawing. COurse the cooler it is inside the home the longer it will last.

Answer 6

Yes keep it closed and do not open it at all! It depends on the type of Food, if you were to tell me the type of food I could easily direct you to some webpage.

If the power is out do not open the Fridgerators Door, you want to keep all the cold in as possible.

Note: All food will last for Different Times.

Example: Meat= 2 hrs. Carrots= 2 days. (Not exactly Sure)

If you have a Question about a Specific Food trying going to google or ask.com and type.

"How long will --- Last if not Refigerated"

Answer 7

Probably around 4 hours 6 if it's still coolish when the power comes back. Anything like milk I would drink though.

Answer 9

Range from 45 minutes to 2 hours.

Answer 10

3 to 5 hours but its always good to have a back up generator just in case.

Answer 11

a couple of hrs
