    Putting those cutting boards in the back is such a good idea. I'm going to get some the next time I go to Wal-Mart. I've always just used my hairdryer, and it always worked really well. But that's even better. Awesome.

    Great tip, I have not had to do that yet. My freezer just defrosted itself when it was 18 degrees below zero. :) it quit working for a few days. But now it has warmed up and it is working again. :)

    That's a genius idea on defrosting a RV freezer. The cutting boards don't cut off anything that helps it freeze things in the freezer?? I'll difently keep this in mind after I defrost the freezer next time.

    • @WhyWait
      @WhyWait  Před 3 lety +1

      Only with the RV freezers which means the ones that can run on propane or electric. The residential style fridge/freezers do not do this. But yes it happens to everybody’s. Have to defrost it maybe 2-3 times a year. Pretty easy process. Thanks for stopping by👍🏼

    Hi friends. This is a great tip. When things are about to freeze outside, we see folks cover their wind shields with towels or cardboard. This serves the same purpose but I wouldn't have thought to do this. And getting the door to lock with the washers is a great tip as well. Thanks for sharing!

    Those are _not_ cutting boards. They are *Pastry Mats.*

    • @WhyWait
      @WhyWait  Před rokem

      Well they work as cutting boards, they are listed as cutting boards if you click the link below, even have pictures on what meat/vegetable/food etc. to use on each one. And I use to be a kitchen manager for ten years so I’m pretty sure it’s ok. Pastry mats usually have measuring circles on them. Thanks though 👍🏼

      @@WhyWaitSorry If I got you on the defensive, it was not my intention.
      I totally agree with what you said.
      I see them advertised as cutting boards with pictures of food on them all the time.
      And most Patsy mats do have the circles.
      Some really are meant to be sold as cutting boards, so I'm kinda wrong there, I admit that, but at the same time, they suck as cutting boards and get holes in them pretty fast.
      Also, I think on occasion the marketing department is misrepresenting the purpose of *_Some_* of these products. The Amazon ones you linked me to are definitely cutting boards.
      I was a kitchen manager and server too, but that was a dozen years ago. Not a fan of the food service industry.
