Our garage freezer (part of a fridge/freezer combo) was open a few inches over night. A kid closed it and I got a text about it at lunch time. I can tell the ice cream melted enough to leak and drip. and it was clearly soft when I checked on it. I will toss the uncooked chicken strips for sure. But, frozen pizza? Think those are okay? Cooked meatballs I think should go - yes? Frozen hasbrowns? I assume the ice cream is bad at this point, but is it safe? Can I make the kid who left it open eat it? Lol.
It got cold outside overnight - we had a frost warning. And our garage is usually within about 20 deg of the outdoor temp. It was a high of 63 yesterday. So the garage was likely 40-50 deg overnight.
