[quote=Anonymous] Microbiologist here. Food will be fine during a day's worth of power outage. All that will happen is that its shelf-life will be reduced, starting with refrigerated meats, left-overs and dairy. You have to be vigilant about not opening the fridge doors too frequently (and freezer not at all if you can help it). Think about what you need for the next few hours, take out the necessary quantities, and put the rest back. No going in and out to snack. I agree with others to have a self-check item in the freezer. My husband likes to freeze a small glass of water diagonally, and then store it upright (with its slant), so that if we lose power during a trip, we can check up on our return whether it was long enough for the food to be suspect: all we do is see if the ice surface in the glass is flat or still on a slant.
