Recently, at the dayclubbing after party, we were talking about when I’d had a funny tummy. 🤮
We were discussing possible causes, and when it came to food I’d eaten at home, I ruled out defrosted/refrozen food because I knew it hadn’t happened.
The women asked, “How could you possibly know that?” so I told them about the coin trick.
Do you know it? I think I heard it from my sister, and I've been using it ever since.
You fill a little container with water (I use those tiny dipping sauce containers from Macca’s/ KFC/ Red Rooster), freeze it, then place a coin on top of the ice.
If the power goes out, or the freezer door pops open (rude), the food may defrost and refreeze. When you check the container, the coin will have sunk lower. If it’s all the way at the bottom… sadly your freezer food probably fully defrosted 😭
Random little life tips women share with each other are honestly one of my favourite things about spending time together.
Do you have a handy tip to share with other women?
