Nothing as the freezer part of my fridge is in my loft. Don’t really use freezer at home, so definitely don’t need one in the van.

Our dog’s raw food for just a month nearly fills the chest freezer at home. He eats 1kg a day!

Ice cubes, home-made curries, salmon steaks.
I also bought some frozen veg in France, this time. We like lots of different veg and, although their aubergines, tomatoes and peppers were lovely, we found Lidl France to be lacking in green veg, so we bought frozen broccoli, beans and spinach.

 

[The Old Man]

It a smallish area at the top of the fridge. When I'm out in the van;

Curries.
Ice cream.
Warm beers!

Too bloody cold for ice cubes

We turned off the freezer drawer in our Thetford compressor fridge/freezer and used it as a cool drawer while in Spain and Portugal. It was brilliant!

 

[h8ten]

A tub of ice cream, hopefully still frozen. The van is at home just now on EHU, and the fridge is temporarily used as an overflow for the house fridge.

 

[Hawkstone]

Should have been ice in there last night for my Malibu……except I blooming forgot

 

[Bessy765]

We have a CX 35 freezer, 2 packs frozen cod packet of chips and some paella’s as a standby, in Spain and Portugal for 90 days.

One common theme all you alccys have ice cubes

 

[Penk]

Unaged frozen beef (low histamine), salmon and cod frozen at sea (same reason) mango and coconut cream ice, bags of blueberries, and home-cooked meals in boxes. Been a life-changer, as can’t eat out and stayed home for nearly four years. Now blissfully itinerant again

 

[Roby2008]

Nothing. I wish we could remove the freezer compartment and use as a fridge

 

[Wendles]

Bacon and ice cubes for the gin. What else is there that’s allowed in a freezer?

You put bacon in the gin? Interesting....

 

[VXman]

Generally - ice for drinks. Pre prepped homemade meals - spaghetti Bolognese sauce/Indian/lasagne/fish pie.

Steel ice cubes?

I guess they have a very high heat capacity.

Steel has about twice the heat capacity of ice, if you compare the volume not the weight. Heating 1cm³ of steel from -20°C to 0°C requires 67 joules. Heating 1cm³ of ice from -20°C to 0°C requires 38 joules.

However melting 1cm³ of ice at 0°C requires 307 joules, so 1cm³ of ice has a much bigger cooling effect overall than 1cm³ of steel.

The advantage of steel is that it doesn't dilute the drink like the ice does when it melts.
