Bottom of Freezer

[Short Track]

I'm going through my freezer, package by package. I'm eating meat that is literally 5 years old. Perfectly fine. My freezer is -10 degrees. No smell, no nothing. If I find freezer burnt ends, I cut them off and eat the remainder. I can't imagine why people think 1 year is the deadline. The trick is that it's wrapped properly. Double wrapped or vacuumed wrapped I find is best.

I also have meat in zip lock bags. Anything in a zip lock bag does get freezer burnt rather quickly. That becomes dog food, but otherwise, I'm eating it.

I’ve gone 3 years with no ill effects. It’s just me and the wife so eating our way out of a good fall can take time.

The oldest meat I have is from 2017. No problems at all. Wrapped tight in plastic then wrapped in freezer paper.

Im scared to dig that far down. I might find Grampa.
