I once had a bag of frozen berries that were encased in a solid block of frost. It looked like a prehistoric fossil. Not appetizing. Regularly de-frosting prevents that and keeps your food tasting fresh, not like a frosty science experiment.
The Quick Fixes
If you see frost, don’t panic. First, turn off the freezer and empty it into a cooler. Let the frost melt naturally (or use a hairdryer on low, but keep it moving). Wipe every surface dry before turning it back on.
Check the door seal with a dollar bill test: close the door on a bill. If you can pull it out easily, the seal is loose. Clean the seal with warm soapy water—sometimes grease or crumbs break the seal. And for heaven’s sake, don’t shove a hot casserole in there again.
