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!

ness, with a dry surface and hard

Chances are, the job of wrapping

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

tends to take away some of the
flavor.
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. Many of these car-
