Brilio.net - Ice cream is a food that has a high appeal for many people. The combination of sweet taste and cold sensation makes ice cream a very popular snack. The popularity of ice cream can be seen from its availability in various places of sale. Grocery stores to large supermarkets generally provide this refreshing dessert.
Ice cream storage requires a large freezer to maintain its quality. The low temperature in the freezer serves to maintain the condition of the ice cream to remain frozen. The performance of the freezer depends on the availability of a stable electricity flow. The condition of the ice cream will be maintained as long as the freezer gets an adequate electricity supply.
Power outages still often occur in several areas in turns. The duration of the power outage varies from a few minutes to hours. Power outages cause the freezer to be unable to operate and the temperature inside gradually rises. A YouTube user named Marta Sianipar shared a solution, to anticipate melting ice cream due to power outages, before unplugging the freezer.
In one of the videos uploaded to his personal YouTube channel, he shows how to minimize ice cream melting during a power outage.
"THE SOLUTION OF ELECTRICITY OUTAGE - ESPECIALLY THE OWNERS OF SEMBAKO STORE WHO SELL ICE CREAM," he wrote.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube marta sianipar on Monday (11/25), because she didn't want her ice cream to melt and fail to sell, she did this trick. First, unplug the cable from the power outlet so that the freezer doesn't drop or draw too much power when the electricity comes back on.

After that, lift and remove each ice cream rack in the freezer. Pour all the ice cream on the bottom of the freezer. The bottom of the freezer is the coldest part. After that, Marta Sianipar covers the entire surface of the ice cream using an ice blanket to keep the cold temperature from coming out and to keep the hot temperature from entering the freezer .

However, if you do not have an ice blanket, you can replace it with cardboard . Make sure the cardboard covers the entire surface of the ice cream. If so, close and lock the freezer during a power outage. This is to avoid the freezer being open which causes the temperature inside to become unstable. In this way, the ice cream is guaranteed not to melt for 5 hours.
"Usually, the power goes out for a maximum of 1 or 2 hours normally. And even if the power goes out for more than 5 hours. The shape of the ice cream is still intact and normal as long as we handle it well, for example by covering the ice cream and locking the freezer while the power is still out," said YouTuber Marta Sianipar.
Having been watched tens of thousands of times, this YouTube video of Marta Sianipar has also attracted the attention of netizens. It is no wonder that many other YouTube users have also commented.
"Thank you, this is really useful, because I also have a Joyday ice cream freezer," wrote the YouTube account aby rantau.
"Thank you very much for the knowledge," said the YouTube account burhanudin 1994.
"Sis, what brand of ice cream is that? What about the Glico Wings brand, sis, if the electricity goes out," replied the YouTube account SamsungJ4.
"If it's soft, can it melt again?," said the YouTube account aRYO aRYO.
