Cooking Tips Don't keep meat in your freezer for extended periods of time because it loses flavor and quality the longer it is stored, says Mrs. Katharine 3. Neumann, McHenry county extension adviser. The amount of fat on the meat and size of the pieces also influence keeping quality. For instance, ground meat and thin cuts will not keep as long as roasts and steaks. When packaging meats for freezing, be sure to use materials that will allow little if any air to get into the sealed in every way. possible, v the. amiqunt of •fair left 'in -the pacKage, when packing and sealing. Oxygen can cause fat foods to become rancid and also cause "freezer burn". Here are some storage-life recommendations for home - frozen meats at 0 degrees F.: --Beef roasts, steaks and chicken -- 6 to 12 months. --Lamb and veal -- 6 to 9 months. --Pork - 3 to 6 months. -- Sausage and ground meat 1 to 3 months. sit COME ONI ALL O.E.S.
