Freezers have become a necessity today to store large amounts of food. Generally you may find upright freezers at home which look like tiny refrigerators and a chest freezer in a cold storage where a huge amount of raw food is kept for a long period. Freezers keep the contents frozen below the temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. Initially freezers were built into the refrigerators as ice compartments. Today they are available as stand alone units too.
Earlier, freezers were used only for commercial purposes but gradually began to be used for household purposes as well. They came as a built-in unit with the refrigerators and used the same mechanism. The concept of frozen food was alien before. It was the wife of the American ambassador to Russia who thought of this novel idea just because she didn’t trust the processed food in the country. Dignitaries who attended their parties were surprised when served with out of season yet fresh food. This made her think that the frozen food concept should work everywhere and she introduced it in the United States.
The built-in freezers were small and would not hold too much frozen food except perhaps, a couple of ice trays. This lack of space led to stand-alone freezing units that would store large amounts of raw stock that could be eaten even after a long period of time.
These stand-alone units became popular because households felt the need to store large amounts of frozen food. The less frequent shopper found this very useful. And these freezers didn’t take up too much space. They could just be kept in a garage or even in the basement. Generally the upright freezers came with an automatic defrost function but the chest freezers have to be manually defrosted.
Zanussi freezers offer both types of freezers. Zanussi’s chest freezer can be very energy efficient and comes with a storage basket, a key to lock the lid and an ice scraper. There is no fear of ice collecting and one having to switch off the unit for the ice to melt and wait for the water to drain off, It also indicates whether the temperature is set right. To make the manual defrosting easy, they have provided a small pipe which drains the water out. Zanussi freezers are very reliable and their capacities ranging from 100 to 500 litres.
