    We have a lareg fridge freezer in the house the freezer part is 4 drawer, I use this for things that I need to have to hand such as frozen veg, ice cream, lollies for the kids and always a loaf of white bread as my youngest only likes white toast so I just take a slice out and toast from frozen.

    The shed has a large chest freezer which I could not do without, it is great for stocking up on special offers and for bread, rolls etc.

    At the moment it is running a bit low as I need to do some batch cooking over the next few days.

    I have two and a half drawers.... but my mum has a big freezer just need to remember to pop over there and add to or take from as needed.

    (just one of her freezer drawers holds loads more than one of mine).

    My freezer is approximately 30 x 30cm so it's very small. I can't really do any significant amounts of batch cooking as it will just fill the whole thing up.

    We have 4 drawers in a fridge freezer...that is used for my husbands gluten free food, then i have a medium sized chest freezer which is plenty big enough for us :)
  • I have the same size of freezer as you and it is a pain, by the time I've filled it with raw meats, frozen veggies, ice cream, excess produce suich as bread, rolls, pitta's, garlic baguettes, a couple of pizza's and any YS items I have no room left for batch cooking!

    I'm going to run my freezer down and then rather than batch cook do lots of bags with various meals ready to be popped in the slow cooker/casserole dish to be baked so majority of the work is done and it's just the cooking to go.

    Well that's the plan anyway :o
