Title: Why a Coin in Your Freezer Could Save You Trouble
Introduction:
Have you ever left home for a few days and worried about whether the power went out while you were away? If the electricity fails long enough, food in your freezer can thaw and spoil. When the power returns, the food refreezes, making it hard to tell if it’s still safe to eat.
