Vacation or simply the need to leave home for a few days forces us to carefully prepare for it.

The traditional ritual includes checking all electrical appliances and other operations.

However, there are experienced housewives who, before leaving, pour water into a bowl and wait until it freezes, and then put a coin on top.

Let's figure out why this is a good habit that you should also acquire.

Before leaving, you leave a bowl of ice with a coin on the surface.

Now imagine that when you arrive home you find that the coin is at the bottom of the bowl.

This will mean that during your absence the lights were turned off, and they were off for so long that the water in the bowl had time to completely melt.

Therefore, the frozen perishables in your freezer are likely to have completely spoiled after this, and it is best to get rid of them to avoid possible poisoning.
