I don't know but I worked for this lady who was 83 and I would take her shopping for her groceries. She always bought red meat, steaks or ground beef or liver, even chicken or whatever.
She and I would go to eat and she wanted to go pay her bills.
We went to thrift stores.
I remember her groceries being in the car for two hours and I asked her why she didn't seem concerned about leaving her groceries that long without refrigerating them., She always said, "They'll be okay."
It really did concern me but I knew she knew what she was doing, she was very sharp.
Anyway she always was okay and she said two hours was the limit to leave them without refrigeration.
So go figure about your chest freezer.
Personally I would not leave them for more than an hour.
But you can Google it and get your answer on the care of fresh meats.
If it was safe to eat when frozen and has not turned rancid or otherwise become inedible, it shouldn't make you sick if you choose to eat it.
If the contents of the freezer have thawed out - EVEN ONCE - because it was turned off our there was a power cut, then the food IS NOT SAFE TO EAT and should be thrown out. However if the contents remained frozen (the freezer will stay cold for a few hours) then the food should be OK.
Hot water can be turned into frozen water by lowering its temperature below the freezing point of water, which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). This can be done by placing the hot water in a freezer or exposing it to a cold environment until it solidifies into ice.
hot water in a freezer will get hotter depending if the freezer is turned on.
They might be. Or they might not. It depends on the quality of the food when frozen, how it was packaged and whether the product was maintained at very low temperatures during storage. If they were OK microbiologically when they were frozen and were maintained well-frozen, they should be OK microbiologically now. But they could have turned rancid or become freezer burned.
You should only have your freezer turned down to level 5 out of 10 levels.
Ice will only form from water once water is cooled to below 0 degrees Centigrade. A freezer requires energy (ie it needs to be turned on) in order to pump heat out of the freezing compartment to lower the temperature in this compartment to below 0 degrees Centigrade. If the freezer is not turned on the temperature in the freezing compartment will be that of the room in which the freezer is kept.
You can use it safely by not puting your hand in the blades when it is turned on.
it turned into an ice cube or froze
the water in the puddles had turned into frozen water, or ice
if it turned cold take it out and hit your head with it
Probably not. Unless it was very poorly packaged, if it has been in the freezer long enough to become freezer-burned, it may also have turned rancid.
