Why do my frozen foods taste funny?

WARNING!

To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.

Frozen foods can absorb other odors if not sealed properly. If not sealed properly, you can also get what's called freezer burn on your frozen foods. Use baking soda to help reduce bad odors and tastes.
