Before You Freeze That Bacon Make Sure It’s Sealed Properly


Do you buy bacon in bulk?  Many people often wonder if freezing bacon will ruin its’ true flavor.  There is no simple answer to that question.  Many variables exist when discussing maintaining the quality of frozen bacon.  However, there are steps you can take to make sure that your frozen bacon tastes as delicious after you thaw it, as it would have if you cooked it the day you bought it.

One of the biggest reasons that any meat looses its quality when frozen is due to improper freezer packaging.  You likely have some experience with freezer burn, and know the havoc it can cause on everything in your freezer.  One way to avoid the same disaster to your bacon is to make sure that you have a properly sealed package.  If you bought your bacon in a sealed package at your local grocer, you can probably throw the bacon in the freezer as is.  However, if you bought straight from the butcher or deli counter, it will serve you well to take the time to make sure that your bacon is placed in a sealed and airtight storage container prior to freezing it.  Freezer burn is the most common reason for good bacon to be ruined.

If you buy bacon in bulk, it may be a good idea to invest in an airtight food sealer.  Giving your packages an airtight vacuum seal is a great way to ensure that your bacon is safe in the freezer for months to come.  If you are interested in learning more about the storage options available to you, visit us at online.  You can find an entire selection of bacon related kitchenware, including bacon-freezing solutions.
