I appreciate the ease of being able to immediately throw everything in the freezer, then portion out what I need, but I almost prefer the old system. I like to trim all of the breasts before I freeze them so they are really ready to go when I thaw them and this system makes that wasteful. Smart Packaging: Whole Foods Organic Chicken Breasts |

I am renting an apartment with a freezer drawer on the bottom and I hate it. I go the freezer for ice much more than I go to the crisper for lettuce, so having the freezer in an uncomfortably low position is really unfortunate. My parents in law also have a freezer drawer and theirs makes even less sense because they don't have an automatic ice maker. This means that they have to fill up ice trays with water, caaaaaarefully bend to put them in the basket, and sloooooooowly close the drawer so that they don't all spill. Ridiculous!

i second the idea that freezing does not kill beasties. i also work in a lab, and not only do we freeze E. coli at -80 degrees celsius (-112 F) for later use, we also freeze yeast. one kind of yeast, S. cerevisiae, is what is used in bread and beer. you definitely encounter it, but it is non-pathogenic. another kind, Candida albicans, is the variety that causes yeast infections. it is part of a woman's usual flora, but shifting the balance down there leads to bad things. wash your clothes!
