What size for qurbani meat?
As a rough rule one cubic foot (about 28 litres) holds about 15 kg of packed meat:
- One goat or sheep: 175 to 250 litres, such as Haier HDF-175INV 175 Litre Inverter Single Door Deep Freezer or Haier HDF-245INV 245 Litre Inverter Single Door Deep Freezer
- A cow share or two goats: 285 to 400 litres, such as Haier HDF-285INV 285 Litre Inverter Single Door Deep Freezer or Dawlance DF-400 Inverter Single Door Deep Freezer
- A whole cow or joint family: 400 litres or more, such as Haier HDF-545INV 545 Litre Inverter Double Door Deep Freezer
Remember you will also give a share to relatives and the poor, and you still need space for everyday food.
When to buy
Searches jump four to five times in the weeks before Eid ul Adha. Stock of popular sizes can run short and delivery gets busy. Order three to four weeks early and switch the freezer on a day before the meat arrives so it is fully cold.
Packing meat the right way
Let the meat cool, cut it into family-size portions, pack it flat in freezer bags and press the air out. Write the date on each bag. Do not overload the freezer with warm meat all at once; add it in batches over a few hours. Full tips in Roman Urdu: deep freezer mein gosht rakhne ka tarika.
