Chest freezer advice plz.
I posted here since this is where the cooks hang out. Sorry if I posted in wrong place.
Considering a chest freezer and asking for advice. They come in different sizes and prices and wondering what is appropriate. What size do you recommend for a back up supply of protein for two people neither of which are hunters bringing home a deer or wild hog. Plan is to hold a cut up quarter of half a side of beef, some pork and chicken for a secure source of animal protein.
Is self defrosting possible with a chest freezer?
As freezers get larger so does the cost, but I appreciate quality tools. Your suggestions as to size, brand, model etc are most welcome.
Aiming for at least 10 years of trouble free use out of it.
Thanks in advance.
