I was a bit worried about the configuration of our new Electrolux fridge because I’ve always had the impression that pull-out freezers have less storage. The install was a tad stressful because I had a TON of frozen items WAITING for a home and what if they all didn’t fit?l!! When I finally put everything away in the new freezer I was SHOCKED because not only did all of the items fit, I had EXTRA ROOM. This is big news, people! It means I can be an even BIGGER freezer hoarder!!! Costco, HERE I COME!
Before I get to the glamor shots of our new freezer, let me show you what the OLD freezer situation was like.
I had our old freezer STUFFED to the gills with food and if something covered the light bulb, I couldn’t really see what I had in the freezer. I also couldn’t line things up in a row because the shelves were too narrow and the drawers were really shallow. This bugged me because I could never figure out a good organizing system!
It was like playing a stressful game of Jenga! Pull something out…watch it all fall down… on my feet.
And here we have the new pullout freezer situation! THREE LAYERS OF ORGANIZATION!
Top layer houses frozen Fruits & Vegetables.
Middle layer houses Carbs & Meats.
Bottom layer houses frozen meals and things that are generally too big…like frozen pizza….and a stack of Lean Cuisines & Smart Ones. Don’t judge. Wait, maybe do. The Spanish rice ones are my favorite.
I also like this one little shelf on the side that fits puff pastry… and CHARLESTON CHEWS!
That might be the best part…I’m pretty happy about all of the layers because I know exactly where to look when I need something.
I can’t wait to show you the cute ice cubes it makes and all the shelves on the inside of the fridge. Stay tuned!
