And we're here! The last step from an article in earth911.com's newsletter that I got from recyclebank! I never really got into freezing things until I met my boyfriend's mother. It's a smart way to extend the life of fresh food and event a great tool to plan. On top of that, when I find mean that is cheap because it's going to expire soon, I find it as a useful tool to have it last a couple days longer. As I've stated before, knowledge is power, but it's only 20% of the battle. Enjoy!
Store it smarter
Storing your food properly is the No. 1 way to reduce spoilage in your kitchen. Always store perishables in an airtight container, and know when to move foods from the fridge to the freezer.
Always freeze meats that you don’t plan to use within two or three days. Make sure meat is patted dry and placed in an airtight container before freezing to reduce the risk of freezer burn.
If you don’t plan to use fresh vegetables or fruits within the next week, you should also consider freezing to prevent them from going to waste. Not sure how to freeze fresh produce yourself? Check out our freezing and canning guide to get you started.
For product-specific tips, consult this detailed guide from the Colorado State University Extension, which includes preparation instructions for more than a dozen vegetables. For fruits, check out this helpful freezing fact sheet from the University of Wisconsin Extension.
