Approximately how many pounds of food can be stored in a 14 cubic foot freezer?!
Answers:
Bear with me!.
1 cubic foot contains about 7!.5 gallons!.
A pint of the kind of food typically found in a freezer weighs about 1 pound!.
There are 8 pints in a gallon!.
8 X 7!.5 = 60#
14 Cubic ft X 60 = 840 pounds
However !. !. !. !. !. !. !.
We don't buy or freeze food in nice even cubes!. It's all kinds of sizes and shapes!.
As a result, Frigidaire suggests using a ball park figure of 35 pound s per cubic foot for their upright freezers or about 500 pounds!.

you can't really answer this question because the volume of 1 pound of different things is not the same!. A pound of marshmallows is a bigger volume than a pound of ice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
