Freeze your food concerns

By LINDA BROWN

Have you ever left home for a few days and then discover upon returning that your neighborhood had a power outage during the time you were gone?

No big deal, right? After all, you weren’t there.

You weren’t, but your freezer full of food was.

How do you know your frozen food wasn’t damaged by the power outage?

Playcube Products has a unique device to help you determine when freezer foods are no longer safe, or fairly close to the end of their safe-to-use life. The device is called Freezcube.

Place Freezcube in your freezer for 24 hours upside down. Then turn it right side up. The Freezcube has four chambers with four different colors of liquids inside. After the four chambers of liquid are frozen, your Freezcube is now ready to monitor your freezer.

If at any time one or more liquids in the Freezcube melt, even partially, following a freezer event, you’ll be alerted by the Freezcube numbering system the maximum recommended conservation time for your frozen foods. Blue = 14 days; Green = three days; Yellow = one day; Red = discard all freezer contents.

Your frozen food can be kept under constant surveillance for $19.99. For more information log onto www.freezcube.com or telephone GNV Direct at (800) 803-4370.
