How to move frozen food

Be frugal

First off, sort through the food in your freezer and throw out anything that has expired prior to moving day. Not only will this make the task less stressful when it comes to the big day because there is less food to transport, but expired food is just taking up valuable space in your freezer! Plus, it’s satisfying opening up your neat and tidy freezer drawer, knowing you’ve just done a big clean out.

Start packing

OK, so moving day is here! Chances are, you have lots of frozen food in your freezer (because who doesn’t) that needs to be moved. We recommend placing any spillable items, or food that hasn’t been resealed while in the freezer into zip-lock bags or containers so you can ensure the contents remain intact during the move. When packing your frozen items into moving boxes, it’s important to ensure that no wet items come into contact with the cardboard. Your reusable cold grocery bags will definitely come in handy here! Otherwise, if you don’t have these readily available, we would suggest using plastic bags or bubble wrap to secure any freezer blocks or frozen foods that haven’t been put into containers or sealed bags to minimize leakage and unwanted water spills. Careful Hands Movers provide packing materials and services, so if you need a little help or would like us to take care of this for you, just give us a call to discuss.

You’re almost there… now it’s just the unpacking! Once Careful Hands Movers have removed the frozen food boxes from the truck (and the fridge of course), it’s time to start filling up that freezer, and think about all the delicious meals you’ll get to cook in your new home.
