    Sometimes I like to boil all my water at the start of the month and then freeze it, to save time when cooking pasta. Always hate having to wait for water to boil first.

    I did this but the power never went out. I don’t drink bottled water, but my freezer is full of them now now. Do I just defrost them all in a big pot or something?

    Wouldn't the loss of cool air from opening the fridge repeatedly negate the benefit of doing this? Or would one simply remove multiple bottles at once strategically over time? I admit, this sounds like an interesting idea; just not sure what the "most-correct" strategy would be for extending food preservation.

      The thermal mass of the air is negligable in comparison to that of the bottles. Thats why generally filling your fridge with random stuff is actually beneficial because once they are cooled down it will decrease the loss of energy whenever you open the fridge.

      As someome mentioned, the thermal mass of water is way higher than air, but also, this is the problem that deep freezers solve! Afaik, deep freezers open from the top meaning the cold air does not flow out when you open it. That saves effeciency on your heat pump.

      Another neat thing you can do depending on where you live is set a timer on your deep freeze so it only turns on at night. This benefits you if you get charged electricity depending on the hour of the day, meaning you are charged nore during peak hours. Since the deep freeze has high thermal mass and low energy transfer, it stays cold all day.

      "most correct" would be to never ever open the fridge.

      Obviously as you need things in it, you'll have to open it.

      My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink pre-frozen water from my fridge. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of frozen water and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. I am also always prepared for hurricanes, thanks to my frozen water in the fridge. That is how I deal with society, and hurricanes, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight, I wouldn't lose to anyone, especially not hurricanes, thanks to my frozen water in the fridge.

    I've done this for 20 years for my cooler at festivals. Freeze 2L bottles of water for ice blocks. Drink said water after they defrost.
