HOW TO KEEP FOOD FROM FROST FREEZING !

[427HISS]

I like the cube packed foods we can buy, as each cube is covered buy it's own foil, so it does not frost freeze, but their all more expensive for the convenience. The flat package is much lower in cost, but with air being trapped in the packet after first opening, it frost freeze's. I've tried placing it on the counter and pushing the air out from it and closing the zip, with little difference.

Questions- although the food looks bad, does it harm the food or even the fish ?

In what was can we put the food in some kind of different package that's better ?

How do you keep your store bought fish food or if you make your own DIY food, how do you keep it from frost freezing ?

Cut the food into dime size portions and put each into it's own sandwich baggie and tie ? (man, that would be a lot of work & time) lol....

Great question

I usually put the whole package in a ziplock freezer bag, because their packaging usually tears in the seam. I try to push out as much air as possible while sealing the bag.

Vacuum seal the bigger parts and use the small parts . Like vacum seal and freeze 3/4 the pack and feed the other 1/4 .

Good question, ill take about a week or twos worth of food, cut it up into cubes, then put them into either a mason jar or urine cup. Then ill take the packaged frozen foods to a vacuum heat sealer. I dont think theres a way around any of this lol

Yes freezer burn ruins the food.

You can purchase a food saver and that will extended the freezer shelf life up to a year. If really also depends on the freezer that you have.

I have a commercial freezer so the defrost cycle does not thaw the frozen food and refreeze to food. I buy and make my own.

If is better to leave the food in bigger portions, less of a chance of freezer burn
