Alan...the tiny bit of frost you get in sealed containers is not even
worth worrying about. It will be on the top but then you have a pint
or quart of liquid underneath with none. As soon as you take the
container out of the freezer, you can stick the open top under running
warm water for about 5 seconds and eliminate the frost moisture if it
really bothers you.
