I'm not Goomba but who says you have to open the freezer door frequently? I
store a lot of herbs in the freezer. If I'm planning to make a particular
dish I take out what I need for that dish. Open the door, remove items,
close door. My frozen herbs are the bags from Penzey's; if I haven't
already refilled an empty spice bottle with said ingredient I simply dole
out how much of each I'll need. Then open door, put back in the freezer,
close door. I can't see it would have any adverse effect on the other
contents in the freezer.
