Question:

it is okay to use permanent marker to label freezer goods?

whenever i bake, i always like to freeze a few muffinsi usually wrap them up in aluminum foil and label them ( for ex: blueberry muffin, date)is this okay to do? will any marker ink leak through to my baked good? if so, is there any other way to label freezer goods?Thanks in advance!

Answer:

Perfect way to do itI am glad you are also listing the dateThe only thing you may want to change is the aluminum foilIt can become torn easily in the freezer if something is pushed up against itI would use plastic wrap then the foilOr a zip top bagThe plastic wrap has a little more resistance to it if it should be poked with somethingThe plastic zip bag is also pretty resistant to puncturesIf you want to make writing a little easier you might want to get some inexpensive labels or even some tapeWrite on the tape or label then put it on the package to be frozenWriting on a flat surface is easier than a bumpy surface.
Aluminum has 13 protons (because of its atomic number)It has 14 neutrons, 13 electrons, and has 3 valence electrons (valence electrons are determined by looking at its group )IF you make a model of an atom and it has 17 electrons, you wouldn't put 17 elecetrons around the atom, you would put its valence electron around itAnd its impossible to have 17 valenence electrons because the highest group number would be 8If you are putting electrons around an atom you don't use its electrons, you put valence electrons around it.
