I have a chest freezer now and when I move I was going to swap to standing. For puff pastry and breads and, blanching and freezing fries and other tubers and the like... but now I think I'm just going to do both. Hahaha.
I have both. Both is a good call.
Oh, yeah. had a garden at that house and the zucchinis were huge, breaded a bunch of them for frying and that was a hassle to freeze them. A stand up would work much better for that.
Stand up freezers come in both auto defrost and no defrost. Ones that defrost themselves let the meat thaw when they kick off and then refreeze it when they get cold again. Most chest freezers don’t have this option. So you will get some freezer burn with stand ups and chest freezers are good for long freezes.
