Anyone else have a Food Saver?

We got one a couple of weeks ago and have used it a few times.

I did a couple of pork butts 4 days ago, separated the leftovers into about 1lb packs and froze them. Tonight we just grabbed a bag, put it in a simmering pot of water until hot, cut open the bag and served.

It smelled and tasted just like it came off the smoker.:jump:

Yeah, we got one...use it all the time to vacuum pack the red salmon we pull out of the Copper river. And, on the silvers, reds, and kings we get out of the Kenai river. Most of those get smoked first.

We use it on Caribou and Moose too.

My favorite thing to do is cut the meat marinade time by using it. Throw meat and marinade in the unit and presto - it's a done deal.

I also throw some marinade or lemon slices in the bag with ruffed grouse, spruce grouse, or rabbit - vacuum it and throw it in the freezer. Then when you bust it open all you have to do is throw it on the grill. But then again, where I live there is no limit for rabbits and each person is allowed 15 grouse per day.

I had one since they first came on the market...

they work great and can save you lots of money...

Who makes the food saver?

They are awesome. We make up a giant pot of spaghetti sauce, then scoop enough for a meal into something like a bread pans, and put them in the freezer. When they freeze you have nice bricks, which you put in bags and seal. Then you just get them out of the freezer and you have an instant homemade dinner.

This method works great for any liquid food; soups, sauces, chili etc.

My wife also will make huge batches of cookie dough and brownie batter, and divide it up into small portions. Then you can just bake up fresh cookies in no time with no prep or mess. And then we only have a dozen or so, 'cause if she makes the whole lot I can't stop eating them! The cool thing is you forget about them, and then one day you are looking in the freezer and find cookie dough!
