Definition
A freezer is a large appliance or compartment that keeps food very cold, below the freezing point, so it stays fresh for a long time.
Usage & Nuances
'Freezer' is used for both standalone appliances and the freezing compartment in a fridge. Common phrases: 'put in the freezer', 'take out of the freezer', 'deep freezer' (large, chest-style). Don't confuse with 'fridge,' which keeps things cold but not frozen.
