Give your fridge & freezer a break in this weather!
Instead of chilling a warm meal in your fridge, or using your freezer to actually FREEZE something, use your porch when the temps are right. You can give your fridge and freezer a break by adding already chilled or frozen items to it. When we had the nice cold weather I cooked up a bunch of meals for my freezer. I made 1.5 gallons of chicken stock today which is currently chilling on my back porch (I’ll end up canning/freezing it tomorrow depending on how I divide it up). Tomorrow I’ll be making about the same in turkey and rabbit stock.
