Storing food may seem like a very simple and easy thing to do. You only need to put ingredients or leftovers into the freezer and everything will be stored safely and hopefully lasts a long time. However, there are also things you need to pay extra attention to! So, we have prepared some tricks down below that you can try to make sure your food stays fresh in the freezer for a long time: 

1. Place your food in food containers with tight lids 

Avoid storing food in plastic with loose lids. We recommend that you store food in containers with tight lids instead! Also, make sure you avoid opening the lid of the container so air can’t reach inside and cause freezer burn. Freezer burn occurs when frozen food has been damaged by dehydration and oxidation due to air reaching the food. It is often caused by food not being wrapped in air-tight packaging. 

2. Don't store too much food in the freezer 

If you keep too much food, it can cause the freezer to smell bad and the food won't stay fresh for long anymore. Especially if you include food that is not tightly wrapped such as pasta that is only wrapped in loose foil, this is a quick way for your freezer to smell bad! 

3. Label each container in your freezer 

To avoid the buildup of unpleasant odors in the freezer, you can label each one of the containers and write the date you first stored it. With labels, you'll always remember what food you have so you know how long you've been keeping them.
