Freezing food is meant to make life easier. Frozen items last longer, so you can just toss them in your freezer and forget about them until you need them sometime in the far future, right? Well, no. It's a little more complicated than that.

It's imperative to use the best possible containers, know how long your food has been frozen, use proper thawing techniques, and even make sure your freezer isn't overloaded. Otherwise, you may run the risk of making yourself sick. And nobody wants that. Know the right thing to do, and avoid these big mistakes everyone makes with frozen foods.
