Silly question, probably, but can the entire unit be used as a freezer?

No, most is just a refrigerator. Very small freezer section. It doesn't have an option to be only freeze or only refrigerator.

Not this model. But I have purchase a small standing front loading freezer by Sanyo. It's the same size as this fridge. They are twins. I bought an antique rolling dresser, and put a pine top on that, painting the dresser white. It's great storage underneath, and the both fit nicely in an alcove in the pantry. Look for the Sanyo freezer. It was a good purchase. You might also check Best Buy if Amazon doesn't have it available. Hope that helps.

No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question... No, i don't believe it can. It has a tiny little freezer section in the top corner but that only freezes enough to make ice. If you were to put ice cream in either frig or freezer it might stay really cold and formed but it will become very very soft like it was slowly melting or something. but ice cream bars seem to stay frozen in the freezer part (bars like ice cream snickers or just regular candy bars,butter,ice) things of that nature.Well, i hope i was of some help to you with this reply. Feel free to ask anything else you need to know about my experince with this purchase. I'm happy to help. No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question...

The instructions say that you can, but that was not why I made the purchase. I wanted space saving and easy access for containers that I put the fridge and freezer. If you do microwave do not go directly from freezer to microwave. It might crack.

As long as oven is preheated. But it cant go from oven to freezer without first cooling.

Hello JeanneB, I have not tried what you are asking about, but from what I have read so far, as long as the food in the container does not thaw when you remove it from the Freezer, it should be OK to re-seal and re-freeze for later use. I believe that since you have opened the food to new air and contaminates, the shelf life will have been compromised, but if you use the food up within a reasonably short amount of time, you should be fine. The FoodSaver sealer is very handy for re-sealing those foods that you didn't use all of.

yes - it would if you don't need a separate freezer compartment. It is a single compartment that can be set to work as a refrigerator or freezer. seems to work fine, but with a somewhat large temperature range of control - maybe plus or minus 5 or more degrees F.

No, dont put it in the freezer. Just regular refrigeration will be fine, and believe me it will last.

I never thought about freezer usage but I guess it would be possible. As with any product I would check with the manufacturers recondmendations.

I used two shelves in my big upright plus part of my standard freezer. It's the only drawback to this program! Also, don't unpackage the food - they come in special microwave bags that steam the food! If you don't use them the food will not be as tasty.

I converted a freezer to a beer fermentation cooler with it. I don't see why you couldn't.
1478362
I've never done that. It's just a regular refrigerator. You'd probably have to watch out for the weather.

It isn't a freezer just a cooler, so I would only put items in that you would put in your refrigerator. It also functions as a warmer not a heater so you could put hot items in it to keep warm as well.

Yes, be aware that there is no freezer component, but it works well and fits perfectly in our space.

You can if you want your freezer to reek of onion. I just threw mine away because it would not contain the smell.

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.

Yes you can. The refrigeration unit is all around the freezing cylinder and is no problem

Yes! I use mine for freezing all kinds of things. The only drawback is (and this happens in any condition, not just the freezer) every once in a while they "unvacuum" It usually happens quickly because of not zipping them tightly enough, but sometimes it is because of a bad bag or small hole in the bag, so I check in a day or two to avoid freezer burn, stale food, etc.

yes it can be, however there must be a slight amount of space for the unit to breath like all refrigerators at least a few inches
