RV FEATURE
Both compartments can be used as either a fridge , freezer or both at the same time .
THE FRIDGE-FREEZER
We wanted a large-capacity chest-style fridge-freezer with separate bins and doors for the fridge and freezer sections . I also wanted the ability to adjust the temperatures of each bin independently and , indeed , swap from the smaller section to the larger section for use as either a fridge or freezer if ever required .
Being able to use baskets in both bins is essential to saving time rummaging for whatever product you want . Lifting the top basket to gain access to lower-stacked foods makes for shorter lid-open times , plus it helps negate squashing delicate foods . Have you ever seen what a six-pack of drinks does to crispy green lettuce ?
Given that Sharyn , my food-loving , extraordinary cooking partner , is ( mostly ) responsible for what goes into the fridge , we … well , she , prepares a whole freezer ' s worth of fine meals for all our trips . They are all frozen at home and transferred into the freezer the day we leave , forming a solid block of healthy , tasty , homemade frozen meals . If only she knew how little I used to survive on – ahhh , the good old days … not !
Generally , each morning after making a healthy smoothie – frozen berries and fruits from the freezer , remember – we would move that day ' s evening meal to the fridge or into a tub in the campervan to allow it to defrost . At times , we also used that frozen meal as a small icepack in our hiking day packs if weight wasn ’ t a concern . Come nighttime , our cook-up – well , let ’ s cut to the chase – Sharyn ’ s cook-up was superb as usual .
