Anyone else like this product as much as me? We're all hunters here, and I don't know how I got along with wasting so much meat before this puppy.
It has saved SO much food from being thrown out in my home...I have some meat that is 3 years old & it still tastes almost as fresh as the day I bagged it. In the past I can't tell you how much meat was shamefully lost to freezer burn & tossed out.
Now no more shed tears or wasted meat
A good trick, I've learned is to get the meat very cold or even frozen before you vacuum pack it, so that the bag can shrink down around it as much as necessary. Squishy meat does not vacuum pack as well and you'll be left with air pockets that will cause freezer burn...
It's not cheap to buy the unit nor the rolls, so a cheaper alternative is to freeze everything in ziplock bags that are filled with water first, but that's so much trouble to do and store and then defrost that I'd say Foodsaver is a much better option...
