So, the wife and I were all set to buy a new chest freezer at Big Jake's House O' Appliances World when I asked the salesdroid something that had been bugging me:
"What if I wanted to freeze other parts in it?"
The salesguy (the saler?) was puzzled. "Come again?"
"Well, say I wanted to freeze someone's head, or legs. Would I have to get another, different, kind of freezer?"
The salesdude generated a thin layer of sweat all over his face, even though the cavernous store was air-conditioned like the inside of one of Big Jake's Keep-Your-Beer-Cold specials. His eyes began to dart around and finally fixed on something or someone in the distance. He waved at it or them, said something to us that sounded like "I gottagedamdam...unsec" and skittered away. We watched him as he walked away, stopping at the retired-from-the-force-bag-of-donuts who played a security guard at the store and gesticulating wildly towards us.
We left briskly.
Maybe next week we'll get that freezer.
Alright, how many times do I hafta tell you this. If you want to freeze those "other" parts you need to make sure you get a deep freeze that is NOT frost free. Just like when we freeze artifacts at the museum to kill bug infestations.
Frost free freezers work by letting the temperature rise to just thawing. You don't want a head getting repeatedly to that temperature over the years.
At least that's what Mr. B. taught me when we discussed Moe back in college...
A standard chest freezer will work perfectly well for arms, legs, or even the farthest extremities alone--hands/feet...fingers/toes.
However, it is recommended that u use a head freezer for that part. The beauty of a head freezer is that it will work equally well for torsos. Even for big fat peeps like me, due to the fact that standard head freezers generally come quite large from the factory....collectors of heads are notoriously obsessive, and tend to hoard.
