We keep a cool whip container filled with water, with a quarter under the lid, on top of the water in the top of our freezer.
Then, when (not if) we lose power for a while, we duct tape the lid to the freezers closed. Once power comes back on, we check the quarter. It's a pretty good indicator of what we should get rid of, based on how far in the container the quarter has sunk and re-frozen.
