Since I have no way of knowing how much thaw-age happened in the freezer and for how long, I decided to completely clear out the freezer of all the suspect food (there was lots of it). I had to cringe a little bit at having to toss a nice rib roast and a few containers of yummy roast turkey stock, but I prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to food. Two garbage bags later, the freezer is pretty barren aside from a few ice packs and a surprising amount of dog hair.
Guess I’ll have to clean the freezer compartment before I go about restocking it.

I am doing the exact same thing! The door to the upright wasn’t closed all the way last week. Meat stayed frozen though, lost icecream and some other stuff that thawed. Emptied it this morning to let the ice that formed melt and will wipe it down. Thankfully- no dog hair! Need to pull it out to vacuum the coils. This house stuff just never ends! Yaenette didn’t notice the freezer problem?
