Why does freezer burnt food so aweful? And what makes it different from regular frozen food?
In: Chemistry
The water evaporates from frozen things just like dry ice evaporates (sublimates) from solid to gas. But, in a freezer, food becomes more absorbent when it loses water. So, it then starts to absorb the smells and water from other foods a little bit at a time, and then loses it again… so you get partially freeze dries food that also absorbed the tastes of everything else in the freezer.
