I am a big fan of Food Saver Vacuum Sealers. In preparing for a trip in the motorhome – whether for a weekend or a month – the vacuum-sealer is a very useful tool.
If you are
pretty fussy about your meat and poultry, the vacuum-sealer lets you take meat along easily – and compactly. You can lay chicken pieces flat in the bag and freeze the pieces so that they take up little space in the RV freezer – space is limited! You can store frozen garlicky sausages next to frozen pastries – there is no odor transfer through the bags.
Write on the frozen packages with a Sharpie or peel the label from the butcher and stick it right on the Food Saver bag. Because the meat is vacuum-sealed, it is quick to thaw in a water bath in the kitchen sink. And, the sealer doesn’t just seal Food Saver bags - Use it to reseal bagged lettuce, nuts – anything that comes in a bag. If you have a Food Saver with a “manual seal” feature, it will seal any bag without removing air – great for chips, etc. The sealer will also reseal aluminum bags.
