Curious if this would have any noticeable energy savings. Basically thinking of taking old semi-disposable plastic containers (the ones that like deli meat, butter, etc come in), freezing them outdoors, and letting them defrost (absorb heat) in the fridge/freezer. Basically back to the “ice box” model.
Anybody doing that and/or have any results to share? Mostly curious if it would be worth the effort.
That’s brilliant. I googled the energy costs. It’s $30 a year to run a fridge. So it doesn’t save much money because you can only do it in winter but it’s still a great idea.
