I never cared to freeze much because it seems like we never checked the freezer for food & when we did most of it was freezer burned. We bought a Food Saver (vaccum system that sucks all the air out of bags) and since then we have had no problem with freezer burn or ice crystals on our frozen foods. I've also discovered for "mushy" type foods I freeze the "mush" first in a small plastic container then take the frozen item out of the plastic container & vaccum seal it while still in the frozen state. This keeps the Food Saver from sucking the moisture up & out of the bag while trying to seal it. If the bag is wet at the top on the inside it will not seal properly. We've saved a lot of food by using this system.
