How can an ordinary coin prevent problems? Many will be surprised, but it is really possible. In addition, we will only need a cup of water and resist serious health problems. Let’s find out how to do it.
Two quite inconspicuous objects can become really good helpers for days when you enjoy deserved holidays in the mountains, by the sea, or the cottage. Even during that time, the freezer will be fully at home and food will remain in it, which would otherwise spoil. Certainly we do not have to remind ourselves that every power outage and thus shut down the freezer can have a fatal impact on the quality of stored meat and vegetables. But how do we find it easily and quickly to find out if such a problem happened?

Simple but reliable
Maybe it sounds too easy to work, but that simplicity gives this trick power. Just fill the crucible with water well in advance and let it freeze. Then it will be nothing else that you put a coin on the surface of the ice – and it really does not matter what value it will be. What happens in the event of an electricity failure for a longer period of time, for which the food can only be slightly melted? It’s simple – the ice will be melt as well, and the coin will slowly dive into the water. As soon as the distribution company takes care of the axle, the current will begin to do its work and after your return the freezer may be fine at first glance. But…
Coins reliably watch your supplies
Now it will be enough to see the magic “guard crucible” to immediately reveal possible future health troubles. If the coin is not lying on the surface of the ice as you put it there before leaving, it means that something unfair has happened in your freezer. Depending on the depth you will find it, you will be able to estimate the time during which the food has been exposed to a temperature above the freezing point. Isn’t it a brilliant system?
Try the ice itself
In addition to this simple method, there are other options that show the temporary poor freezer function as well as the ice coin. It can be the ice itself. This time you only need pre -frozen ice cubes, which you remove from the creature and pour them freely into a closable bag. Then you just put everything back to the food. If the cubes are still the same after the next freezer opening, it will not change its shape, not just a compact ice lump, you can be sure that everything was as it should have been.
Protection against health problems
Why is such a measure important? It could easily happen that the food will be frozen after your return to the bone and you wouldn’t even think of what happened in your freezer in the freezer. It is not only a change in the hardness of stored stocks, but mainly about the possible multiplication of bacteria and other microorganisms that are able to do great mischief in our intestines.
