Why should you put a coin in the freezer?

Have you ever heard of This simple and clever trick to check the efficiency of the freezer? All you need is a glass of water and a small coin. In this article, I will explain to you how to use this method and what it is for.

Steps:

• Fill a cup with water and put it in the freezer until it freezes.
• After the water turns into snow, place a coin on top of the ice and leave it in the freezer.
• Every time you open the freezer, check the position of the coin. If it is still on top of the ice, then the freezer is working fine and the temperature is stable.
• If the coin goes to the bottom or middle of the cup, this means that the freezer has stopped working for a while or its temperature has dropped significantly. In this case, the foodstuffs in the freezer may have thawed and refrozen again, which affects their quality and safety.
