Vacation homes

You're away for weeks. The power flickers. By the time you check the freezer, everything looks fine. But is it?

🌪

Storm season

Hurricanes, ice storms, rolling blackouts. The FDA says a full freezer holds temperature for about 48 hours. After that, you're guessing.

🤑

Hundreds in food

The average American freezer holds $300 to $500 of food. One bad thaw and refreezing cycle and you could lose all of it.

ThawMeter in sealed waterproof case

ThawMeter tells you at a glance.

Fill it with water. Freeze it. Flip it. If the water moved between chambers, your freezer thawed. That's it.

Fill. Freeze. Flip.

1

Fill

Add clean water to the fill line. Pour slowly and stop right at the line.

2

Freeze

Place in your freezer with the "Freeze This Side Up" label facing up. Wait 4 to 6 hours until solid.

3

Flip

Once frozen, flip it over and put it back. The ice is now in the top chamber. Check anytime through the inspect window.

A glance is all it takes

Look through the center inspect window. If the ice is still in the top chamber and the bottom is empty, no thaw event has occurred.

If you see ice or water in the bottom chamber, a thaw event occurred at some point. The freezer warmed above freezing long enough for the ice to melt and flow to the other side.

If ThawMeter indicates a thaw event, we recommend following USDA and FDA guidelines for evaluating frozen food. Visit foodsafety.gov for guidance. When in doubt, throw it out.

To reset, simply drain and start over. Fill, freeze, flip. Works again and again.

Works when everything else fails

No batteries

Nothing to die. Nothing to replace. Nothing to forget.

No wifi

Doesn't need your router. Works when the internet is down. Works when the power is out. Works because it doesn't need power.

No app

No account to create. No notifications to manage. No software updates. Look at it. That's the interface.

Reusable

Drain it and start over anytime. There's nothing to wear out and nothing to reorder.

Know before you throw.

The average American freezer holds $300 to $500 of food. ThawMeter costs less than a bag of frozen shrimp.
