Apparently ‘freezer burn’ is fake news so people will throw out perfectly good eats.
I mean come on, if it’s good after 50,000 years, what’s 50?

Freezer burn is simply dehydration via sublimation of water directly into vapor form from frozen food. It’s a form of freeze drying. For meat you can just put it in a crock pot and let it rip for 4-6 hours you won’t be able to tell it was ever “freezer burnt” no meat ever gets tossed in this house I don’t bother to even vacuum seal store bought foam tray neat if it’s frozen it’s as is and if it dehydrates before it’s used from the freeze into the crock pot or instapot it goes. The pressure cooker also turns it right back to hydrated meat, same for a couple hours of sous vide bath.
Heck I have a homemade freeze dryer it’s a thick walled plastic tub with a sealed lid and racks plus a vacuum pump line out of a hole drilled in the top of one of the casket freezers. Pull a hard vacuum on it and whatever is in the tub sublimes its water out in a week’s time not as fast as the heated tray commercial kind but very effective for trek backpack food. Totally freeze dried in a week two at most then on a walkabout it’s hot water in a pot and boom hot food. No refrigeration needed. I have done beef stew, venison and hog chili, chicken tortilla soup, of course carne seca of a half dozen species raw and cooked they all freeze dry to fractions of their weight and totally pack / shelf stable at any temp.
