Grandma’s Tips: How to Prevent Ice Buildup in Your Freezer

Keeping your freezer frost-free is important to maintaining the quality of your frozen foods and making it easier to find what you need. Here are some tips to help you avoid freezing in your freezer:

Use a container of salt: Placing a container filled with salt in the freezer can help absorb moisture and prevent frost from forming. Just be sure to replace the salt every few months.
Keep the freezer door closed: Avoid opening and closing the freezer door too frequently, as this can cause warm air to enter and condense on the freezer walls.
Organize your food: Keep your frozen foods organized in airtight containers or freezer bags. This will prevent frost from forming on the food and make it easier to find what you need.
Defrost regularly: Allow your freezer to defrost every few months to remove any frost buildup. This will help your freezer operate efficiently and prevent frost from forming on your food.
