Get one of those vacuum sealers. Air trapped inside of the food bag is what allows the food to burn at those freezing temperatures.

If your food is getting freezer burned, you're not wrapping it very well. Properly wrapped food should not get freezer burned in under several months at least. What freezer burn really is, is an evaporation of the food's natural moisture. Plastic freezer bags with a ziploc fastening are usually very good for long term storage.

Be sure that the frozen product is in an air-tight container whether it is a freezer bag or sealed plastic container. Where people go wrong is not resealing a product carefully between uses.
Be sure and write the date of purchase on your article. It is natural for some products to "burn" when they become OLD!

You may have your freezer set too high...too cold in other words. Are you getting a lot of frost in there too? If so try adjusting the gauge down a notch and see if that helps. Alternatively invest in a range of plastic boxes to protect your food.

One of the main causes of freezer burn is today's frost-free freezers. The constant motion of the air inside the freezer compartment and the condensation of its moisture outside the compartment causes water in the food to evaporate, resulting in what we call "freezer burn". All you need to do is to put the food in sealable plastic bags or other containers. The air in the container is unimportant, as it will not move, and can absorb only so much moisture before it becomes saturated and reaches equilibrium. You don't have to use a vacuum bag.

as long as your food is properly wrapped in a heavy foil or freezer approved ziplock bag it should be good.

Don't leave them in there so long. If you're not eating them soon enough, don't buy so much that you have to store it all for so long! Also, wrap them in freezer wrap.

Get a vacuseal machine and your worries are over. These are available at ACE, SAMS and COSTCO in most areas.
