The term amortization is also used in connection with loans. The amortization of a loan is the rate at which the principal balance will be paid down over time, given the term and interest rate of the note. Shorter note periods will have higher amounts amortized with each payment or period.
Tell your little ones not to open the door. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods safely cold for about 4 hours. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours, 24 hours if it is half full. If it looks like the power outage will be for more than 2-4 hours, pack refrigerated food items such as milk, dairy products, meats, eggs, and left-overs into a cooler surrounded by ice. Try to obtain block or dry ice to keep your refrigerator as cold as possible. If it looks like the power outage will last for several days, 50 pound of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic foot full freezer for 2 days.
How long is food good for in fridge after power goes out? It's been 24 hours and the fridge hasn't been opened. There is milk, yogurt and lunchmeat in there. Update: FYI I'm asking this for my sister, she's the one who didn't prepare her food for a long power outage. She's at work now and can't do anything about it for a few more hours.
