A freezer is a very useful appliance to prevent food from getting spoilt. But we all often are confused about what ideal temperature should a freezer be set at to store different food items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of most items, the ideal freezer temperature is 0\u00b0 F (-18\u00b0 C). An easy way to set your freezer at this temperature is by using a freezer thermometer<\/a>.<\/strong> At this temperature food can be stored for an indefinite period to stop bacteria growth, therefore saving the food from getting spoilt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the food safety and inspection service<\/a> of the U.S. Department of agriculture, freezing keeps food safe by slowing the movement of molecules, causing bacteria to enter a dormant stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the food standards agency<\/a>, most harmful bacteria will grow at temperatures above 8\u00b0C and below 63\u00b0C \u2013 this is known as the \u2018Danger Zone\u2019 for microbial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
