how long does your frozen food last?

[The Reefer91]

just in general, how long does it last? when the tank is up, i was going to stockpile on frozen foods like clam,mysis,fomula 2, things like that. but if it doesn't last long i may just make my own frozen foods.

I stock up for about 6 to 8 weeks at a time. What I do is buy 2 of everything then take half and put it in freezer bags. Havent had any problems yet.

I would be interested in this as well because I have some frozen krill that I never got around to using that is probably about 4-6 months old by now.

Does it have freezer burn on it. Doesnt sound good.

IF it get freezer burn or becomes icey with ice crystals on it, I would not use it. I think of it this way If I wouldn't eat it in that condition then they shouldn't either.

Why is freezer burn bad?

 

[Billybeau1]

Because freezer burn means that air(moisture) has gotten in there and usually spoils the food.

Have you ever cooked a steak that has had ice crystals on it. Smells horrible.

ok, so only get a medium amount food at a time, don't stock up for a year

 

[Billybeau1]

That would be my recommendation
