Our refrigerator eats ice over a period of time. In a months time, ice cube trays that were full will shrink down to less than half in size. One cube in mine may just disappear.
I may have to go back to Mr. Wizard experiments and try it out in my unit. Good idea.
You could also freeze water in a bottle half full, and once frozen, put an item with weight to it, like a marble or a nut for a bolt in the bottle on top of the ice, and if the nut is still on the top of the ice, all may be well with the food.
