I documented a bit recently as in France we will potentially have 2h power extinction at grid level during this winter. Apparently you can have your fridge safely keeping your food for up to 4h, but you should not open it during that period obviously — although since I don’t have any radiator in my kitchen I’m rather confident it wouldn’t be that problematic in the middle of a winter that is announced especially cold.

Kinda depends on fridge, altho sadly it's rare to see that number in manuals.

But one trick is to just take food that you want to eat anyway from the freezer and put it in fridge, the food will slowy defrost while cooling the fridge food. Just make sure water have somewhere to go
