What's the best way to repackage meat to freeze?

Answer 1

Just get some ziplock freezer bags. But the best thing is to divide it up before you freeze it.. So when you bring your meat home, just separate it in different bags so you won't have the hassle of separating it later, it will already be ready to go.

Answer 2

Package them up in freezer bags as soon as you bring them home . Freezer bags come in assorted sizes pick the right size and make sure you get all the air out of bag this will help keep you meat fresh and will fit better in freezer.

Answer 3

When we divvy up bulk burker, we weigh it on a kitchen scale with a small sheet of wax paper under it. Then bundle it up, shove it in a ziplock (I like the slide-lock type the best), squeeze the air out while flattening it a bit, and put in the freezer.

The flattening part makes it easier to stack them and save room in the freezer.

Answer 4

Divide the meat --make hamburgers patties,etc--then wrap individually in wax paper. Put the wrapped meat in a freezer bag. Don't put too much in one bag as you want them to freeze fast.

Answer 5

I wrap my meat tightly in plastic wrap and then I put in a ziplock freezer bag. I try to squeeze as much air out of the ziplock bag before sealing.

Answer 6

If it is hamburger, I patty them. About 1/4 lb size and put them into sandwich bags (the fold top kind). Then put them in a large freezer bag. If it is any other meet I use the press and seal plastic wrap. then put them in a large freezer bag.

Answer 7

I use freezer bags. They're inexpensive and hold up very well in the freezer.'

Answer 8

I have also heard of wrapping in saran wrap stuff, then wrapping it in aluminum foil. I have an electric food saver sealer, they work great, no freezer burn.
