freezer
Subzero food storage
A freezer is a refrigerated compartment or appliance that keeps food frozen, typically at temperatures below 0°F (−18°C).
Most household refrigerators include a freezer section; standalone units called chest freezers or deep freezers offer more storage.
We stocked the freezer with meat for winter.
