I started moving stuff in little by little yesterday.
I look at the thermometer every so often, and it seems to be at either 0 or 10 degrees (I assume the variance is due to the self-defrost mode).
I'm going out today to get some stockup stuff to put in there. And I'm going to start making soups to store! Yum! I'm starting with my low-carb cabbage soup recipe, then on to some lentil soup for my guy. Good times.
