Wasn't sure where to post this so hope someone could help here


I've always stored chicken breast in standard plastic freezer bags which are made from Polynesian

But want to change to a Safer alternative that is not going to absorb micro plastics into my chicken

I don't have the room to store any form of container in the freezer and i have bread that freezer paper contains some layer of chemical so don't want to use that

After googling, an option seems to be aluminium foil but before I start doing this, can anyone confirm This is a safe choice. -I've read there is some risk when cooking with foil but does that still apply for freezing?

    Have you looked at reusable stasher bags, made of silicone instead?

    Not rigid like boxes and dishwasher safe. They come in various sizes
