I’m a maniac about using meat immediately or wrapping it well & freezing immediately. Plus it is so nice when I come home from school tired & I can just pull something from the freezer.
I take the meat & roll it up in saran wrap (the rolling takes the air out nicely) & then I wrap that tightly in foil & then put the wrapped meat in a gallon freezer bag that is labeled.
Now I am getting hungry.
I’m also a big fan of mixing a marinade in a gallon ziploc freezer bag, adding meat (particularly chicken) to it, squeezing the air out, and freezing like that. That way, it marinates as it defrosts — killing two birds (no pun intended) with one stone.
