How to Prevent Freezer Burn in Your Freezer

Why Freezer Burn Happens

In Barnegat, where families enjoy fresh seafood from local markets or prepare for gatherings near Barnegat Lighthouse, a reliable freezer is essential. Freezer burn occurs when food is exposed to air inside the freezer, leading to dry, discolored spots that affect flavor and texture.

Simple Ways to Prevent Freezer Burn

  • Use Airtight Packaging: Wrap food tightly in freezer-safe bags or containers.
  • Label and Rotate: Use the oldest items first to avoid long-term storage.
  • Set the Right Temperature: Keep your freezer at 0°F for safe storage.
  • Don’t Overload or Underload: Balanced airflow prevents uneven freezing.
  • Avoid Frequent Door Opening: Temperature fluctuations can cause ice crystals to form.

If your freezer struggles with consistent temperature, it may be time for freezer repair and service.

When to Call a Professional

While small fixes are manageable, major issues like faulty thermostats, broken seals, or compressor problems require professional residential appliance repair and service.
