Preventing Freezer Burn

My tip for today is a simple one.

In order to cut down on freezer burn, limit how much you open your freezer. The more you open it, the more freezer burn you will get.

We keep our meat and some of our other frozen foods in a freezer outside in our shop. I try to figure out what I need from that freezer once a week or so. I take out what I will need for the next few days and bring it inside to my small freezer. This has really helped me cut down on the freezer burn I get. I really make in effort to only open it once or twice a week.

So if you have a chest or upright freezer pay attention to how many times each day or week you open it.
