Brilio.net - Piles of frost in the freezer are a problem that many people often experience. However, this makes the space in the freezer narrower. As a result, you can't store the entire stock of food in the freezer.
Not to mention, cleaning the frost in the freezer is a difficult job. The problem is that not all refrigerators are equipped with a defrost system like other types of refrigerators. As a result, a number of people deliberately disconnected the refrigerator cable from electrical power.
To make the searching process faster, they directed the fan to the front of the freezer. That way, the pile of ice will melt more quickly.
But they don't always use this method, some people also deliberately flush the freezer with hot water. This contrasting temperature difference makes the pile of ice flowers easy to pry open with your hands. Unfortunately, flushing the freezer with hot water is not recommended because it risks damaging the freezer quickly.
As a solution, you can imitate the method shown by Instagram user @elprest.id. In his video upload, this netizen appears to be relying on a simple tool that he deliberately placed in his freezer. Wondering what the goal is?
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @elprest.id on Monday (1/7), one simple tool used is a plastic bag. The method is fairly easy, just tear off the side of the plastic bag first, adjust it to the size of the refrigerator freezer at home.

After that, put the plastic bag inside the freezer. Press gently so that the plastic bag sticks firmly to the surface of the freezer. You don't need to add any adhesive, just spread it onto each end.

Don't forget, also install plastic bags on the right and left sides of the freezer. Because in this section there is also the potential for frost to appear. Even in his video upload, this netizen attached a plastic bag to the top of the freezer.

If the plastic is all installed, you don't need to worry anymore that the ice that appears will be on the surface of the plastic, so it won't be difficult to clean it from the freezer anymore. This was proven after using the freezer for 2 weeks. To clean it, just gently pull the plastic bag attached to the inside of the freezer.

Without a fan or hot water, the pile of frost immediately disappeared. As an additional note, don't let the frost build up for too long because then the plastic will be more difficult to remove. This method is also suitable for those of you who are reluctant to wait for the ice to melt when you want to get food.
The video, which has been liked by 3 thousand users, has received attention from netizens. It turns out that quite a few have implemented this method in their homes. There are also those who say the method above can reduce the impact of damage to the refrigerator evaporator.
"This method is more correct, to reduce the impact of damage to the evaporator, when you want to take out food that is stuck in the frost, you don't need to turn it off until the ice melts itself or worse, pry it out with a spoon or knife." wrote the account @levine31313.
"I'm like that too, I've been practicing for a long time and it's easier and quicker to clean the refrigerator." said @sitinurul_halimah.
"I also use this method. So it's nice when I clean the frost... It's fast. But it's better to use a 2-door refrigerator that doesn't have frost." chimed in @ferdian.alamsyah.
"The plastic uses thick plastic, such as 5kg rice containers, so it doesn't tear easily. I also use plastic for the bottom base, but it's thick," said @ponasariwaty2707.
