Mine isn't in the freezer long enough for me to worry about freezer burn.

You are also supposed to open potato chips from the bottom. That way the seasoning rains down on the chips instead of staying all at the bottom of the bag.

I wonder how many other things are better upside down?

 

[DLgal]

Yeah, I read that BUT the big caveat is that it only helps if your ice cream is melted enough to sink to the bottom once you turn it over. Who lets their ice cream get THAT melted before putting it back in the freezer?

My solution is a simple piece of plastic wrap pressed down onto the ice cream surface.

I was taught by my mother to store cottage cheese upside down. Seems is helps keep the top sealed better against oxygen leaks.

They also say (on their factory tour) to microwave it for 10 seconds to scoop it easily. I find it also takes care of freezer burn.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

That's kind of the way of storing a wine bottle on the side to keep cork from drying out.

The silly thing is - we never kept cottage cheese around long enough to be sure that really needed to be done.

The people with freezer burn aren't doing it right!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

But wouldn't an upside down pineapple upside down cake become a pineapple right side up cake?

Going back to a previous poster, it doesn't store long enough to worry about.

That’s what I do as well.

Peanut butter is supposed to be stored upside down

 

[izzy]

What is this idea about it putting the container back in the freezer upside down? Please don’t tell me that I’m the only person who eats out of the container, only planning on eating half of it. Then you get halfway thru it and think “one more spoonful.” Next thing I know I’m 3/4’s of the way thru it and I figure “What the heck. Might at well finish it off now.”

Four servings per container - ha!

Well if I ever want to pay $16 a half gallon instead of $4 like Ice cream should cost, I'll remember to store it upside down.

Only natural style PB where the oil separates out.

If you eat "ice cream" that only costs $4 for a half gallon, you're eating mostly air and fillers/thickening agents.

There is a good reason why premium ice cream costs $$$. Vanilla ice cream should have no more than 5 ingredients: cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks (optional), vanilla. That's it.

Well that leaves Ben n Jerry's out. It has quite a bit more than that in it.

That $16 a half gallon Ben And Jerry's has much better guar Gum and carrageenan in it. Not like that cheap guar gum and carrageenan.

I have always microwaved my ice cream before scooping some out (and I have always gotten funny looks for it!)
