What can I use my freezer for, other than just food?

1) Jean Freeze

The most unusual thing you can do with your freezer is clean your jeans.

Putting your denims in the freezer is said to kill the bacteria build-up with low temperatures.

Experts recommend you wash your jeans conventionally too, but for a quick fix this will remove any lingering smells.

2) Ice cream bags

When you need that sugar fix from your favourite ice cream after a long day, the wait for it to thaw seems like a lifetime.

But by portioning your ice cream into separate sandwich bags you cut the thaw time in half.

No longer will you be waiting for the well-deserved late night treat.

Pour the leftovers into an ice cube tray ready to be used for cooking.
