Deep freezers? Upright or Chest
Posted on 8/1/21 at 7:59 pm

Just bought a new house and would like to purchase a freezer. I always have plenty access to bulk shrimp, crawfish, fish and deer sausage. What’s better?

I prefer upright for organizational purposes

I have both. Prefer upright but found a great deal on a smallish chest freezer. Bought it but use some containers from the dollar store to help with organization. Also only keep one meat type in it so it’s easier to manage.
With prices right now chest freezers are also at an advantage. The same upright I bought a year or two ago has increased 30-40%.

Upright all day long.

Upright. It’s a PITA to dig stuff out of the bottom of a chest freezer were things in the bottom tend to stay buried for years.

Someone on the OB board called his a frozen garbage can. After owning one for a couple of years I now know why he calls it that. Sold it and got an upright. Doesn't hold as much but everything is visible accessable and we don't have stuff hiding in the bottom for 5 years and then tossed once found.

Upright x 1000%

You can put 2 uprights in the place of 1 chest freezer... get the upright

Looks like it's going to be a personal preference, so I hope you arrive at the best decision for you.
We have a small "deep freeze" chest style that has served us well. It stores a little bit of frozen gumbo, frozen deboned stuffed chickens, other meats, etc.

Upright for ease of access to stuff. Chest freezers tend to have stuff remain on the bottom, buried until they are no longer good to eat.
Plus all that bending over to get stuff out. I have a large frost-free upright and would NEVER have a chest freezer.

We have a small chest freezer. It's organized well and I keep a list of what's in there. Works well for the two of us.

Upright.

upright you can actually get to and see everything in there
with a chest you can only see whats on the top and everything below 6" is frozen into a solid mass you have to throw away when you clean it out once a year
every chest freezer we ever had caused us to throw out lots and lots of wasted food every year, go with the upright

I've had a chest freezer for the last 10 years or so.
I just switched to an upright and it is 1000% better.
The only reason to get a chest freezer is if its free.

Chest = frozen garbage can.

When you look through the stuff in your freezer, do you want it to be easy or difficult?
