NEVER FREEZE THE ENTIRE TRAY! Try this instead 🥰

... Read moreWhen it comes to freezing meat, the key is not only portioning but also the right storage containers or trays. Using ice cream trays or specially designed freezer trays can help you freeze meat in manageable, meal-sized pieces. This prevents the hassle of trying to break apart a large frozen block later. Another tip is to label each portion with the date and type of meat; it keeps your freezer organized and helps avoid food waste by ensuring you use older meat first. Also, I've learned that wrapping meat tightly in plastic wrap before placing it into airtight freezer bags drastically reduces the risk of freezer burn. If you prefer, wrapping portions individually before placing them into freezer trays can combine the benefits of portion control and space-saving. Lastly, some people use apps to track their freezer inventory, which can be a handy way to manage bulk meals and know what you have on hand. It’s an easy way to avoid buying duplicates and plan meals efficiently. Give these tips a try to transform your freezer organization and meal prep routine. It’s saved me a lot of time and saved my food from freezer burn!
