It depends on what kind of food it is, and I have a question myself. Why do you need this information, and what in the world are you doing with your refrigerator door open? (just trying to do some humor.)

How long for freezer to hold it's temperature after power out?
Your freezer will stay frozen for several hours after a power outage. So will the contents. If the power is restored within 24 to 48 hrs the food should be okay. Edit: Actually, when our power was out after a hurricane, our deep freezer stayed almost completely frozen for five days. When the power came back on and we opened it, only a few things on the very top had thawed and had to be thrown out. It all depends on time of year, the size of the freezer, and how full it is. A full freezer will keep everything frozen for longer than a near empty or half full one. And a large deep freezer will keep everything good far longer than the small freezer attached to a fridge. --estherbeth

How do you keep food safe in refrigerator under load shedding?
Keep an appliance thermometer in your refrigerator or freezer to maintain the right temperature in them. And then making sure that the freezer is at 0 °Fwhereas fridge at 40 °F. If there is too much load shedding then keeping containers of frozen water can maintain the temperature for quite some time till power is back. Freeze refrigerated items such as leftovers, milk, and fresh meat and poultry that you may not need immediately-this helps keep them at a safe temperature longer. Group food together in the freezer-this helps the food stay cold longer. Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature. The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full and the door remains closed). Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40 °F or below. If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, then check each package of food to determine its safety. If the food still contains ice crystals, the food is safe. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers, and deli items after 4 hours without power. When in Doubt, Throw it Out!
How do you freeze raw homemade hamburgers?
I cover a cookie sheet with plastic wrap, place a single layer of burgers on the tray, completely cover them with more plastic wrap, then put it in the freezer. When they are completely frozen (about half a day or so), I transfer them to either a zipper bag (remove excess air) or package them using the Food Saver.
How long can you leave a freezer unplugged?
Bear in mind that a refrigerator continues to insulate even when it is off, so cold food inside a refrigerator can remain adequately cold for about 4 hours or even up to 6 hours, depending on the refrigerator itself, the ambient temperature, and the number of times the refrigerator door is opened. The food in the freezer section will keep longer - 1 to 2 days (if the freezer is full). See Related Links.
