How do I freeze food?

Removing air from freezer bags

Removing as much air from a freezer bag helps to seal in
freshness. If you don't have a vacuum sealer try this
simple trick.

1) Place food item into the freezer bag and with hands
press out as much air as possible.

2) Seal bag almost completely, leaving only a small opening.

3) Place a straw in the opening and suck out all of the air.
Remove straw and quickly seal the remaining opening.
