[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1801903, member: 25884"] I will have to say that we only vacuum pack our beef. The burger is in flat vacuum pack bags and keeps just as good as anything else and it is much easier to stack and pack into the freezer. I use cardboard boxes in the upright freezers that fit on shelves to make finding stuff easier... and they don't "fall off the shelf" on your foot either. When the box gets old, get a new one... the plastic bins are okay but the ones that are "freezer bins"... plastic coated wire, allow possible pinholes in packages if they get banged against something. I do not like the plastic tubes for the ground beef. I would say that if you are getting alot of brown on the meat, then as mentioned, the frost free freezer might have too long a "defrost cycle" that they have to keep the frost out of it... something to check into. My biggest problem in the older freezer with not so great seal is the frost on the top shelf and front of the freezer inside. I recently found some meat from 2014 from a jersey I had , got stuck in a box at the bottom somehow...and it tasted just fine.... would've fed it to the feral cats but it smelled and cooked up good so I ate it.
