Why should you keep a spoon in your freezer?

If the power goes out and the ice melts, the spoon will sink. When the freezer comes back on and everything refreezes, the spoon won’t be on top anymore. If you return and find the spoon inside or at the bottom, you’ll know the contents were compromised.

Tip: Do this before leaving on vacation or during storm season.

Final Thoughts

It’s amazing how one frozen spoon can solve so many problems—from soothing headaches and tired eyes to making drinks enjoyable faster or even warning you about a freezer failure.

Since learning this, I’ve made it a habit to keep at least one spoon chilling in the freezer at all times. Try it yourself, and you might be surprised how often it comes in handy. Just like I did, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.
