    your freezer at -18 °C (0 °F) or lower. This will keep your food out of the temperature danger zone between 4 °C (40 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) where bacteria can grow quickly.

    According to Canada.ca

    Every 2 F is basically 1 C. You have more whole numbers with F.

    Like -15°C is 5°F

    6°F is -14.4444°C

    -14°C is 6.8°F

    So 5, 6, and 7°F are about equal to -15, -14.5, and -14°C.

    And it’s not just a random number. You know how much more energy would be used if everyone kept their freezer just a couple degrees colder? It’s the optimum recommended temperature.
