Best Answer

When you put something in the freezer for too long and ice will start to "grow" on it.

Freezer burn happens when frozen foods are not well-wrapped in air-tight packaging. Air gets to the product and actually dries it out - like a slow freeze-dryer. On chicken, it might look dry, white and leathery. On beef, it might look dry, brown or gray and leathery. Flavor and texture of the freezer burn will not be desirable for eating, so cut it off if the pieces are large enough to salvage.

It is caused when you either thaw something and refreeze it, or when you have something in your freezer that is not in an airtight bag

Generally no. The main impacts of freezer burn are aesthetic and related to texture...these likely combine to affect taste quality and appeal.

How To Organize A Chest Freezer?

It's easy to forget what is in your chest freezer because food tends to get buried under other foods. Most chest freezers come with at least one wire basket to help you organize food, but you can add more. Wire baskets can be purchased from the manufacture or from a home improvement store. If you repackage foods into individual portions, add the date with a permanent marker to avoid eating spoiled food. Clean out your freezer every three to six months to toss expired or freezer burnt foods.
