Best way to freeze portions of meat?
Thursday, August 20th, 2009unchienne asked:
I don’t eat a lot of meat, so I tend to break up packages into smaller portions of one or two pieces each. Ideally, I’d love it if each piece could just be flash frozen thereby eliminating the hazzle of having them stick to each other and the threat of freezerburn, but my fridge doesn’t have that capability. So I’m looking for a economical way to wrap and store portions of meat which will protect against freezer burn with minimal product usage. I currently have the ziplock bags that suction the air out, but two or three pieces of meat per ziplock bags isn’t very economical and I’d love something a bit more eco-friendly or reuseable. Wax paper and Saranwrap both freeze together and are messy, and while the Press-n-Seal method does seem to work at getting the items not to stick together, the food always seems to pick up a bad freezer taste when I’ve used this in the past. Maybe it’s just the way I do it. Any suggestions?
