How to Store Frozen Food Safely in Bangladeshi Summers

By Chef Rubina Akter23 Oct 2026

Frozen food is safe almost indefinitely at -18°C, but quality slowly drops. Here’s how to keep both safety and flavour.

During load-shedding

Keep the freezer door closed — a full freezer stays frozen for up to 24 hours
Group frozen packs together; they act like ice blocks

Thawing the right way

Best: in the fridge overnight
Fast: sealed pack in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes
Never on the kitchen counter

Read our delivery information to see how we keep the cold chain on the way to you.
