Weirdest vintage deep freezer ever

[lorainfurniture]

So I might be picking this up on Tuesday. I have a firm commitment from a member here, if anything falls through I'll keep everybody posted. I have space to store it, and am willing to store for several months.

Anybody have an idea on the actual weight of this item? Does it disassemble?

It's about 480 pounds and doesn't disassemble at all.

Good luck with the acquisition! I've still got the single-cylinder model and use it as our everyday "Deep Freeze". It uses nothing for electricity and keeps everything well below zero F. Getting to the bottom of the cylinder can be a pain at times but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. -C

Out of sight, out of mind

The Life page won't load for me.  Maybe it's a Firefox issue.

 

So there was no rack or basket system?  If I had one of these, the stuff on the bottom would eventually get consumed by a glacier for sure.   I'm bad about defrosting.

 

This is what tends to happen in my upright where everything is in view:

Wake up lady!

I love it!  Thanks for posting!

 

No racks, I guess.  That's a lot of digging.

Rosh Hashanah via the Deep Freeze

heading of food section in last week's paper for dishes that can be made ahead and frozen so the brand name persists as a common noun.

Interesting point: "Fruit desserts, including traditional apple cakes, become watery in the freezer. To be freezer worthy, the fruit must be cooked through before being incorporated into the dough. Apples are sauteed in some oil to be cooked through before going into desserts."

This is for things baked before freezing.
