According to Scientific American, between 2013 and 2021, the frequency of power outages increased, on average, from 1.2 to 1.4 events per customer each year. Have you ever considered how long your food would last if your kitchen lost power? For a refrigerator, food typically remains safe for about four hours, as long as the door is kept closed during the power outage.

As for a freezer, solidly frozen food can maintain its frozen state for up to 48 hours, provided the door is kept closed.
