Frozen Foods: What's Safe, What's Not.
Be sure to properly package steak, fish, burgers, and chicken if you plan to marinate and ice them.
Use bags or containers designed for this purpose, or wrap food in foil or plastic bags.
Always make the fitting as airtight as possible. And be sure to remove the original supermarket wraps. These wraps are designed to breathe.
Date your packages and use the oldest first.
