But if the brine is not frozen at the working temperature of your freezer, it's completely ineffective compared to water.


Of course, you need to choose a salt % that gives a melting point just above the temperature you want to keep everything else, so that the salt water is normally frozen.

I mentioned -18C because that is the recommended minimum temperature for freezers such that some foods can last almost indefinitely; certain chemical reactions are completely shut down.
