I was looking for some frozen burgers this weekend and had to dig deeper in my freezer than usual to find them. As I was moving around all the meat I have in there, I found half a beef tenderloin dated December, 2011. I vaguely remember buying a whole tenderloin and cutting it in half, cooking one half and freezing the other.
I've got butts, ribs, pork loins, turkey breasts, steaks, briskets, etc. in there and it's pretty full. I didn't think anything stayed in there more than a few months but this tenderloin did. I wonder what else is in there from my younger days?
I'm defrosting it now and will cook it tonight if it's still good. It's in a Foodsaver bag and they're supposed to keep for about a year, so it should be. Still, it bothers me that I left it in there so long. I'm thinking of making a spreadsheet of everything in there and the dates. That way, I can use the FIFO method and never let this happen again. Any of you have a method you like to document what's in your freezer?
