Apparently there are other uses for freezer paper besides food-related. I use this for freezing food and I love it! Whenever I go to the grocery store I buy a lot of meat and seafood as I see it on sale, but because my household consists of just myself and my husband buying in bulk is not really a good idea as food tends to go to waste. Enter Freezer paper - I get to buy in bulk at cheap prices, portion my food for single dinners, and store the food in my freezer for longer periods. Here's what I do:
Buy the Max pack of chicken or steak, wrap 2 or 3 pieces in freezer paper, then place the wrapped meat in a ziplock bag and label it with the contents and date bought. I lay it flat in my freezer so the meat doesn't freeze in a difficult position and take it out when I am ready to cook it. It makes things so easy for me, I dont have to worry about freezer burn or unthawing a huge package of chicken breast for just one meal. There is only one bad thing about this, when its time to unthaw the meat it takes a longer time since the food is so well wrapped. Be prepared to sit the ziplocked food in a bowl of water in your refrigerator for at least a day to have fully thawed meat ready to cook. I made the mistake of not allowing it to unthaw for a proper amount of time and when I was ready to cook the meat, it was still frozen when I unwrapped it.
This roll is huge! I've had it since February and I buy a lot of food and I have yet to run out. I expect this roll to last at least another 6 months. The $7 or $8 you pay here is well worth it. Especially since I cant find this at any other local grocery store, Target or bulk item store.
