Maybe a stupid question.

What happens to your freezer items in a country with continous load shedding? Do people just waste that food or are the load shedding periods short enough to avoid thawing?

Freezers are well insulated. As long as nobody opened it up for too long, things stayed good and frozen for 3 to 4 hours without power. However, we have thrown food from the fridge away after 8 or 10 hours power outages, and food from the deep freezer after whole day power outages.
