chest freezers

Top-opening cold storage

Chest freezers are large freezers that open from the top with a hinged lid, like a chest.

They typically hold more than upright freezers and maintain cold temperatures more efficiently since cold air doesn't spill out when opened.

We keep a chest freezer in the garage for bulk meat purchases.
