Steps to help prevent freezer burn
To help prevent freezer burn, place your food in bag and lay bag flat. Press as much air as you can out of the bag. Close the bag seal until one inch remains open. Press remaining air out of the bag; then seal the bag completely. You could also use the Ziploc® Brand Vacuum Freezer System, which uses a pump to remove even more air.
