Why A Plastic Bag Is The Best Way To Store Your Ice Cream Tub

Nothing ruins the joy of ice cream faster than freezer burn or a bent spoon. Fortunately, all you need is a resealable plastic bag to keep your ice cream scoopable and soft.

Ice cream can become frozen when stored for a long time, and setting your ice cream on the counter can form ice crystals. A resealable freezer bag can prevent both these issues.

Simply lid your ice cream tightly, slide it into the plastic bag, and squish as much air from the bag as possible. You can then seal the plastic bag and store as usual.

The freezer bag's nearly airtight seal adds a layer of insulation and keeps moisture inside the tub. In addition, any temperature fluctuations have to penetrate the bag.
