Diving into a full chest freezer can be like taking a stroll down memory lane. Thoughts of past hunts and fishing trips come rushing back as you sift through bags of backstraps and fillets to find your next meal. Be sure to honor the critters you plan to put on the table by properly storing them in a quality freezer bag.
Quart versus gallon. It’s a debate as old as time itself. Okay, maybe not, but it’s important to use the right size bag for the contents you place inside. Too much empty space increases the chance for ruinous freezer burn to strike.
While most freezer bags feature a double seal for added security, some have a handy slider that makes closure fast and easy. Sliders are great for preventing unwanted air from entering and guarantee a full, hermetic seal. The peace of mind that your food is secure is usually worth the extra cost.
Reusable bags are made from a variety of durable, BPA-free materials, many of which are dishwasher safe. They cut down on the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills or waterways, and are easy on the wallet over time, too.
