I don't understand why that doesn't make sense. What you do with containers of water is what doesn't make sense to me.

- ghaff 6y agoI keep soda/water bottles in a secondary downstairs freezer. They're my ice packs for throwing in coolers. (This, of course, makes more sense if you have more than a primary refrigerator/freezer).
- axaxs 6y agoGoogle 'icebox', which is coincidentally what my Dad still calls refrigerators. Different times.
- mnw21cam 6y agoSmall fridges sometimes have an icebox inside them, which is a different thing to a fridge/freezer which actually has a separate door, or a dedicated freezer. The icebox is just a part of the fridge compartment, weakly insulated from the rest of the compartment, and the cooling plate is located inside the icebox. The rest of the fridge is kept cool mainly from cold leaking out the icebox.
- bacon_waffle 6y agoWater has a much higher heat capacity than water, and obviously much higher density too. By filling freezer space with water, the thermal mass of the freezer goes up, and it will stay cold for longer in a power outage.
- OJFord 6y agoI think your second 'water' was meant to be 'air'?
- bacon_waffle 6y agoOops, yes...
