Just de-iced a small freezer that I keep in the garage. Not to badly iced up, just a nice coating on the inside.
I got to wondering should I have left the ice in the freezer. Would it have helped the freezing process? How much ice should I let build up in the freezer before clearing it out?

Re: Freezer
I always clear my ice right out. It seems to me that the pipes that do the freezing are colder than the ice, so the ice must be slowing down the process?
I always save the defrost water for use when topping up car batteries. I now have 150 litres of the stuff. Funny, that. DAK what I can do with it?

(Should have added: a build-up of ice can mangle plastic or aluminium parts through the glacier effect. Anyway, the remnants of woolly mammoth in our utility room freezer are probably past their use-by date by now.)

Re: Freezer
Most car batteries are sealed for life now.
It's many years since I needed to top up a car battery.
I poor it down the sink.

Ideal when changing the car's coolant, which I did with one of our cars last week. But 35 gallons... that's a lot of cars.
Also useful for rinsing the family silver, no water spots.
