: _THE POST, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1948 FARM TOPICS Freezer burn may rob many homemakers of the best flavor in their frozen foods, states Mrs. Ruth S. Darbie, Home Economics Ex- tension Representative in Luzerne County. Many foods, especially meat, dry out on the surface when stored in freezer lockers without proper packing. That's what is meant by freezer burn. It can happen to you. You may put meat in prime condition into your home locker—and then be very disappointed when it comes! out lacking its full flavor and fresh- ness, with a dry surface and hard and dull Why ? Chances are, the job of wrapping in appearance. was not done as carefully as it should have been. The same thing can happen to fruits and vege- tables. These foods are sometimes stored in containers that were not meant for freezing, such as ice- cream cartons. Heavy cylindrical icecream cartons are satisfactory for many vegetables—but never use them if they are the thin fold- ing kind. When air gets inside your food wrappers, it dries out the food, causing freezer burn. It dulls the appearance of your food, but more than that, this drying process by McFeatters STRICTLY BUSINESS ~ N = 77 (G AU 7 Etiteey Soullite — 1 “At least I've found a practical use for bustles 1 By d’Alessio THESE WOMEN! “I'm going home to Mother!” OUR DEMOCRACY———byMat oy i fr ASAT a IN) Br 17 A 7m. ‘WN 7 { V Vind LAN Yr {0 « DEBATING THE ISSUES 1858 avo 1998 ON aucusT 21,1858 = JUST 90 YEARS AGO= THE FAMOUS LINCOLN -DOUGLAS DEBATES BEGAN...PEOPLE CAME FOR MILES ON FOOT, TRAVELLED DAY AND NIGHT BY WAGONS, TRAINS, CANAL BARGES, HOPING TO HEAR THE SPEAKERS AND TO CARRY THE REMEMBERED WORDS BACK TO THEIR NEIGHBORS = ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER COULD BE WITHIN EARSHOT. bu % oe 32 | ( INET 0 2% wl G3 Beinn PE pa Ji bk i) 5d | = A) Ei i “ EI PA = 7 2.

Chicken in particular seems to lose its characteristic flavor when freezer-burned. The problem is to kep the air out of the package and the natural moisture of the food, inside. This is fairly easy to do with the good wrappings that are on the market today. Ordinary locker paper is not heavy enough to give food all the protection it needs. If locker paper is used alone, you will need several layers —or use 40-lb. paper with a heavy wax coating. Locker paper can also be teamed up with a moisture- proof, vapor-resistant = material, | such as cellophane or aluminum foil. These materials can be used as separate wrappings, or they may be laminated with locker-paper— that means alternate layers of each —and used as a single wrap. The way you wrap things for the freezer is important, no matter what kind of paper you use. The closer the wrapping material is to the food, the less room there is for air. Cellophane, aluminum-foil and new plastics which crush closely inside a stockinette are especially good. The new, sprayed wax process, now coming into popular use, also gives promise as a simple, effective pack- aging method. Glass is an excel- lent container for frozen fruits and vegetables and even chicken be- cause it seals tightly and there is no chance for air to get in or for moisture to escape. However, glass freezing jars present a breakage problem. In addition to glass jars, heavily waxed paperboard cartons and tin- cans are suitable for liquid and semiliquid products. The wax on the paperboard cartons should be heavy enough to scrape off with your fingernail.
