❄️ Do not store your food outside if you lose power. Here’s why txwx texasfreeze dfwwx winterwx
* Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if the door is kept closed. A full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours .
* Place meat and poultry to one side of the freezer or on a tray to prevent cross contamination from thawing juices. Group other foods together in the fridge to create an “igloo effect,” which can help keep the food colder. * Do not, we repeat, do not try to store your food outside, even if it’s freezing. The USDA says that outside temperatures are inconsistent, causing chilled food to enter the “danger zone” of warmer than 40°F, allowing bacteria to grow, and frozen food could begin thawing. Food kept outside also could be exposed to animals and unsanitary conditions. Heated food, meanwhile, should be kept warmer than 140°.
* The cold outdoor temperatures can come in handy, though. You can make ice by filling buckets or cans with water and leave them outside to freeze. Use this ice to put in your freezer, refrigerator or coolers to keep food cold, according to the USDA. * Try to eat shelf-stable pantry goods and don’t try to cook if your power goes out. Think crackers, beans, nuts, PB&J sandwiches, and cereal with shelf-stable plant-based milk.
