manageable one-inch steaks and freeze for future meals.
Freezers also allow smart shoppers to cook soups, stews, spaghetti sauce and casseroles in double or triple batches to have on hand for quick meals later. Less food is wasted because it can be stored until it is time to use all the dabs of leftovers in a casserole, vegetable soup, or make homemade TV dinners to reheat in the microwave oven.
In order to get the most from freezer purchases it is important to know proper wrapping techniques and suggested storage times for optimum quality. If a top quality beef rib roast or center loin pork chops are not wrapped securely in airtight, moisture and vapor-proof packaging they will get freezer bum. Although freezer bum does not affect the safety of a food item, it does drastically cause the food to lose its flavor, juiciness and tenderness. Here is a list of popular frozen items and how long they will keep their quality in a freezer at zero degrees fahrenheit or below:
—Beef roasts and steaks — 6-12 months.
— Ground beef, pork, and lamb — 2-3 months.
— Pork roasts and chops — 4-6 months.
— Cooked meats and poultry — 2-3 months.
— Processed meats (bacon, sausage, luncheon meats) — 1-2 months.
— Whole chicken or turkey — 912 mpnths.
