IIRC from an earlier post, ice will slowly evaporate and shrink in the
modern frost-free freezers which are *meant* to evaporate moisture so
ice doesn't build up. Even in fairly air tight containers, water
molecules can escape and the food dries out. What is really perverse,
IMHO, is that even the dried out, freezer burned food can have ice
crystals on it. *That* part of it I haven't figured out :-)
