Door left open
by Diane
(Austin, Tx, USA)
The freezer door was left open (only way to tell was the water on the floor of the garage) and I've thrown most of everything away. Wondering about the frozen peach cobbler, un-opened ice cream, and veggies. By any chance would they be good to keep? I believe the door was slightly open for over 24 hours. I know the other foods were completly thawed. If I gotta, I will.
Diane,
Toss it all. If everything else was completly thawed your freezer simply got too warm for the rest of it too. The ice cream, even though it was un-opened won't have the same texture.
