Panic ...though I'm pretty sure you know it's meant to make the meat redder. Which is still pretty damned stupid to do, IMO.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Actually, the way they make meat redder is what causes cancer from what I heard.

Aye, and oranges are green, they gas the fuckers with sulphur dioxide to turn them orange.



Not many people know that.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Cooking meat in too hot an environment makes it carcinogenic (Heterocyclic amines (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)). The carbon monoxide is probably bad too, though.

Considering frozen food is loaded with sodium, freezer burn would be the least of your worries.

Yea I am sure that IS certainly a marketing tool sure. So is calling a slimy shell animal "escargot".

I have bought that particular generic brand in that exact bag for almost a decade, no, it does not stop freezer burn. Vacuum then frozen is a far better method. It is just wording to extend the ability to sell sell it. I am quite sure it wont give anyone food poisoning no, but it won't taste as fresh either.

People have been ice glazing meat since before you, I or even Min were born. I'm sure the commercial food processors have a different way of doing it, but for us do it yourselfers it's a fairly simple process. You freeze a piece of meat solid, dip it in water, freeze it again, repeat a few times until you have a thin coating of ice over the meat. The thin coating of ice does the same thing vacuum sealing does. It keeps the meat from drying out. It isn't as effective as vacuum sealing because the ice coating evaporates before a plastic bag but it serves the same purpose.
