Back at Xmas I had this frozen ground beef in my freezerWhen I went to use it the edges had this hard spotLike normally it\'s squishy like spaghetti but it seemed hard like a patty.Maybe I defroze it wrong? Or maybe freezing it screwed things up?The poster above is correct: that section is freezer burnedNext time, wrap your ground meat in freezer paper (available right near the
aluminum foil) and then put it into a freezer safe storage bag (think: Hefty or ZipLoc) and that way, it will be safe from freezer burn for up to 4 months.Hope this helps!!! Oh, and for safety\'s sake, defrost your ground beef in the refrigerator overnightChristopher K.Other related question
