[header] How to preserve meat [title] Prepare meat before freezing. [step] To prevent freezer burn, prepare and package the meat before putting it in the freezer. [substeps] Meat and poultry can be frozen in the store packaging but it is advisable to over-wrap the packaging to make sure no air can enter the package. 
Use plastic bags and heavy duty aluminum foil specially designed for freezer use (the label will tell you) to over-wrap. Use a home vacuum sealer to remove air from packaging.
