Freezing works because the bacteria that spoils food can’t survive the harsh temperatures. However, just because food doesn’t go bad, it doesn’t mean that what emerges from those icy temperatures will necessarily taste very good. When food is frozen for too long, something known as freezer burn can occur. This happens when items become covered in frost – drawing the moisture out of the food. Although it will still be good to eat when cooked through, it may not look appetizing and the taste will most likely have diminished.
