s safe without extra ice or dry ice for about 4 hours. A full freezer can keep items at a safe temperature for up to 48 hours; that time shrinks to 24 hours if the appliance is only half full. Its also a good idea to have coolers on hand to keep foods cool, using ice. Make sure you put meat and poultry on a tray so thawing juices dont drip onto other foods.
Group foods together in the freezer for an igloo effect to help food stay cold longer. Dont open the fridge or freezer if at all possible.
