Actually, if you want to keep them from getting freezer burn....use a empty, cleaned milk carton(paper/cardstock) type. Put the processed birds in the carton and fill with water, then freeze. They will keep longer and won't be freezer burned when you thaw them out.
I've been planning to use shrink bags when I start processing https://texaspoultryshrinkbags.com/collections/poultry-shrink-bags
No, I have not used those! I'm sure they would work but whatever in them would get freezer burned if not used within a few months.
The first ones I didn't soak at all. Straight in to the freezer after processing. The second time I just soaked them in a bowl of spring water for 24 hours in the fridge. But I later read that someone was using a vacuum sealer to avoid freezer burn, so I was wondering how much of an issue it was, and how more experienced people were addressing or avoiding the potential issue.
I have never heard of this. Very interesting!
This is how I always freeze fish even just in a heavy-duty freezer bags filled with water never tried it on anything else. I use a vacuum sealer on everything else I do a lot of venison.
