Fridge burn?

[cjsmith]

Put a pound of ground beef in a self-defrost freezer and pretty soon it'll be brown around the edges.

Put it in the fridge and sooner or later you'll see a similar brown. I don't think my fridge crosses the freezing point, not since we lost an expensive bottle of insulin to that very thing and messed with the thermostat a tad. Is the blood simply draining out of the tissue? What's going on there?

You are awesome.

Yeah, freezing/thawing = freezer burn, but I was pretty sure there wasn't freezing/thawing in the fridge. Fe⁺³, huh? Thanks!
