Put ice cubes in a ziploc bag in the freezer.  If power goes out they'll
melt and lose their cube shape.  If the power's off long enough, of course.
That way you only need look in the freezer to see if they're still in cube
shape.  If it's refrozen it'll be the shape of the bag instead of cubes.
Cheap and low tech.
