No, I don't like them for long time storage. Even ice cream stored in them will get sandy. To keep them frost free there is a warm up period every 24 hours. Something else that I did to help speed up the defrosting process was to place an oscillating fan in front. It circulates warm air inside. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brice Mijares" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 12:08 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] defrosting freezer
