A couple bottles of water will do as well as bottles of blue ice. So will a
frozen turkey or other large massive object.

The time to check the freezer is as soon as the power comes back on. that
would be the peak point in the defrost cycle, before it starts refreezing
any thawed items. You don't have to check every single item. Spot check a
handful of fast defrosters. If they are OK, you're done. If not, then check
more.
