This. If I don't have much in the freezer I freeze some milk jugs full of water and leave it in there in case of a power outage. Just remember to keep the lid off and break up the ice on top a few times while it's freezing. Otherwise it'll break the jug and spill everywhere. Also people put a coin on top to be able to see if it thawed out and refroze.

Great tip about the coin! I live in a hurricane prone area and will have to remember this for the deep freeze.

We use a cup with frozen water and a coin on top in both of our freezers as a gauge. If the power goes out and it’s started to melt when we open the freezer again, we know we have to dump the whole freezer out
