Secret to Better Freezer Meat Storage - TIPS & TRICKS #5

During the summer months, I find people tend to freeze their meat more. The secret to BETTER freezer meat storage is simply adding this little step for great results.

What you need is good thick freezer bags and wax paper.

– You have to cut wax paper big enough to wrap your piece of meat
– Place each piece on a separate sheet of wax paper and wrap tightly
– Transfer your wrapped meat to a freezer bag and depending on the size, you can portion meats for your families needs. For an example, I wrap two large chicken breasts individually and place each in the same medium freezer plastic bag and then transfer them to the freezer (don’t forget to label/write the contents and date on your bags). When I need chicken breasts for a recipe, I remove a bag from the freezer and thaw it out in the refrigerator until I need it.

You’ll be surprised just how this method protects your meats from freezer burn as well as keeping it moist. It takes just a little time but it worth’s every penny as you’ll see by the results!
