We hear much about freezer burn but many don’t know what the term means or how to stop it. While freezer burned food is not dangerous to eat, the quality of the food product decreases over time, often to the point of being unpalatable. The term “freezer burn” refers to the slow, undesired dehydration of a food product stored in a freezer. Just like an air-conditioner removes moisture from the air in your home, a freezer draws the moisture from food stored in it. Leave Friday night’s pizza unprotected in the refrigerator until Sunday and see how dried out it is. The same happens in the freezer.
