That was a few years ago so it could have shifted.<br /><br />When I worked in biochemistry labs, we referred to the freezer of that type as "the -20" (Celsius) which is -4°F. Not sure we calibrated it but that's what we called it opposed to "the -80" (Celsius) for long term storage and for saving tissue culture cells and bacteria (with a cryo-preservative) for years.frederichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939679837071519844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940010684303946553.post-69411011824056418132019-07-15T12:04:43.234-04:002019-07-15T12:04:43.234-04:00My current freezer has a digital temperature setti...<br />My current freezer has a digital temperature setting; I'm not sure what "standard" is. I've got it set a bit cold (1°F) so food lasts longer. But I first set it that cold (when we moved in, I think it was 19°F) one hot summer when I was making some sort of alcoholic slushie and needed it. OK, couldn't resist a search - everyone is recommending 0°F standard freezer temp now.<br /><br />Alton Brown does have a caramelized onions recipe (for the microwave!) https://altonbrown.com/how-to-make-caramelized-onions-in-the-microwave/pdxcocktailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402570651313353985noreply@blogger.com
