Is this time safe for the food?

** That would depend on what you're actually measuring the temperature of. If measuring the air stream temperature, as soon as it starting cooling again the freezer compartment air should start dropping in temperature. **

** The thermometer I'm measuring the temperature with is designed to work in a freezer and does not change temperature readily - opening and closing the door doesn't change it, for instance. Only putting new food in after we get home from the store will, and only a couple of degrees. I've never seen it go above -5 or -1 even when sticking new food in. **

The thermometer is clipped on to the front of the metal rack in the middle of the freezer, exactly where the instructions that came with it state to place it.

I don't think it's measuring an airstream (don't those start in the back of the freezer?), and it's been closed for several hours during these logs.

Does it seem safe for the food to be subjected to the temperatures I listed for those periods of time?
