freezers
Subzero food compartments
Freezers are appliances or compartments designed to keep food and other items at temperatures below freezing, typically around 0°F or colder.
A freezer may be a standalone unit or part of a refrigerator, usually positioned above or below the main cooling compartment.
We stocked the freezer with meals before the baby arrived.
The term also applies to industrial cold storage facilities where large quantities of goods are preserved.
