1. Seal food destined for the freezer tightly. If the food is exposed to air in its container, plastic bag, or other packaging, it will cause the food to dry out and experience freezer burn. 1  Place your food in quality freezer bags or plastic containers; alternatively, wrap your food with freezer wrap or aluminum foil.
And, food takes up less freezer space when it is vacuum-sealed. I'm not sure exactly how much less... maybe 50% less space for something like cooked meats, which is one of the main things I vacuum-seal.With a smaller freezer, the extra space is nice, though it may not matter quite so much if you have a large freezer.f you've watched those comercials on tv about how long the food lasts when vacuum sealed as compared to not being vacuum sealed in the fridge.....it really is that amazing. You really do get much longer storage life on your food. You can reseal oversized bags of chips.
