Avoid freezer burn with this food scientist’s tips.
It’s meat season. Knives are sharp, grinders are churning, and vacuum sealers are running hot. Most of us have our own traditions of how we wrap or vacuum seal game before freezing it. We do it the same way every year because … it worked last year. Why change it?
Well, at the start of this season, I got curious. What actually is freezer burn? And is there a specific way of processing wild game or otherwise fresh meat that will prevent it from occurring for a longer period of time?which is all about using science to unravel the mysteries of home cooking.“Freezer burn is caused by the sublimation of frozen water into water vapor. Normally, when ice turns to steam, it melts into water first.
Wild game meat, with its lean meat typically devoid of much intramuscular fat, is especially prone to this problem, as there is simply much more meat exposed on the surface for a given cut. There are a few solutions. Vacuum-sealing bags specifically designed with thicker, impermeable plastic for long-term freezing will work better than standard plastic wrap, as will zipper-lock bags designed for freezer use.
If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, wrapping tightly in foil followed by plastic wrap works. The foil does the brunt of the work as far as a moisture barrier. The plastic is mainly there to prevent drips during freezing and defrosting and to ensure the foil stays tight.”Whether you wrap your meat or vacuum seal it, don’t skimp on the quality of the plastic.
