Basically the title: If I leave the freezer door slightly open it seems to be “more frozen” than before – big chunks of ice on everything, stuff frozen together. Why is that? The food can go bad in this state but it LOOKS colder (I know this is stupid). In my mind it should just melt and warm up 🤷🏻♀️
In: Physics
Water does not freeze instantly. And ice can be a good insulator. When you put something in the freezer the temperature goes down to almost 0 quickly but then stays there for a long time until it is frozen solid and the drops below 0.
Also if you put a large roast in the freezer it then can warm everything else in there until it is solid and then cool further down.
