Worried large pizzas will not fit in new freezer drawers

littlerock

Our freezer has  bitten the dust. Turns out with lockdown everyone has been buying new freezers and there is not a lot of choice out there for new models. For an average size  upright frost free unit which can go in cellar and is in stock anywhere, we  are basically looking at the Beko fxpf3435.  Only thing is its  drawers do not look that large to me.  Certainly not large enough for large pizzas which we eat it a lot.  The drawers in the Beko are 14" x11" internally. I think that is too small for large pizzas. Anyone got one?. Or eats large pizzas, and can tell me box size. (I dont have any in stock at present as they won't fit in freezer drawers on my fridge freezer.).

you could remove a drawer so they will fit if they wont fit inside the drawer.
Failing that unbox them and store them at an angle

Or trim your pizzas up...
Must must be giving you sleepless nights!

Cut the pizzas in half, stick one half on top of the other with a bit of clingfilm or greaseproof paper between them, wrap well and put them in the freezer that way.

Good opportunity to start eating more healtily. Cut back n the pizzas.

Failing that, buy a tape measure and check

* width, height, depth of drawers and

* width, height, depth of pizza boxes

I unbox pizzas and they fit in my Beko freezer - they take up less space. Cut off the cooking instructions for reference.

As above, remove the pizza from the box.

Is it a good idea to have your freezer in the cellar?

I seem to remember your adjoining neighbour's house burnt down and you were suffering severe damp issues. 
Dampness must surely be worse in the cellar.

Doh!

Dissecting them in this fashion halves the nutritional value and quite ruins the taste
