    I also read and use the idea of just putting it in a freezer bag to help with the freezer burn and keeping it soft and not hard as a rock when you take it out and need to scoop it right away!!

    I do this…then I put the ice cream in a plastic grocery store bag and wrap it around the carton before placing in the freezer. It gives the ice cream extra protection.

    Nothing makes me more sad than seeing freezer burned ice cream (ok, so that’s not completely true, but it’s right up there!). If your ice cream DOES get freezer burned, don’t throw it out! I’ve salvaged many a carton by using it in a smoothie/shake – and amazingly you can’t tell at all! The last one I made was black cherry ice cream and I threw in some frozen fruit (pineapple I think), and whatever we had in the fridge (blueberries, yogurt, orange juice or milk)….de-lish!

    Wait, some people really take so long to eat their ice cream that it gets freezer burn? That is definitely NOT my house, but thanks for the great tip!

    Hi Ashley ~ yes… you’ll want to flatten it against the ice cream.

    All this ice cream talk is definitely making me in the mood for some ice cream!! 🙂

    Do you flatten it AGAINST the ice cream, or just a tight cover under the lid?

    What a great idea. I definitely have thrown away a good share of freezer burned ice cream (of course, in desperation, I have also been known to scoop off the top layer in hopes of finding good ice cream)

    Thanks for the tip! My husband is the only ice cream eater in the house (although I’m sure our two year old will follow his foot steps LOL!)
    Once it gets freezer burnt he won’t eat it now I know how to save the ice cream.

    aluminum foil works great also; you’re right, it’s the air getting to it.

    great to know about eliminating ice cream freezer burn. I’ve tossed out more than enough due to that problem – thanks, Heidi (and Joe – who tipped Heidi on this) you’ve yet again been very informative.
