How is freezer burn prevented?
First and foremost, freezer burn can be prevented by correctly wrapping food intended for freezer storage. This means using correct packaging materials that retain moisture and tightly wrapping the product so that no water molecules are able to escape. Freezer burn also occurs if a product is stored for too long in the freezer. Therefore, with correct labelling of the product and consumption well within the use-by date, freezer burn will not occur. Maintaining the temperature of your freezer at 0F (-18C) or below also keeps freezer burn at bay, as fluctuating temperatures that rise above 0F will eventually lead to moisture loss and evaporation.
