The best way to vacuum seal liquids or soups like chili is to freeze it in a flexible plastic container. Once frozen you can pop the frozen block out and vacuum seal it in a pre-made or customized FoodSaver bag. The best way to store all vegetables is to blanch them first, then cool, dry, vacuum package and freeze.

The best way to store all vegetables is to blanch them first, then cool, dry completely, vacuum pack and freeze. We recommend pre-freezing moist foods or placing a folded paper towel between the food and end of the bag to absorb excess liquids. If you continue to have problems, please contact FoodSaver customer service directly for assistance.

I mix mine with frozen brine shrimp and freeze the leftovers, then thaw it when I am ready to use it again. I think it's fine.

I use less water when cooking frozen vegetables in the microwave oven. Usually cook for 3 min., on high then open one side of lid carefully with tongs to avoid hot steam, then test with a skewer or knife. Really trial and error. I also use a microwave plate to easier stabilize the case or use oven gloves when removing from the microwave oven. I own several steam case and pots.

Yes. I make a lunch dish for the whole week and fill up about 8 of them and freeze. Just don't fill above the fill line as the frozen food will expand a bit. I love this product.

I use an empty 8oz plastic parmesan jar filled with chives on the table (the holes in the lid are large) put the rest in the freezer until needed. I have done this almost a year now, works well for us.

This broth is a staple at my house. You can saut some chopped onions and garlic in olive oil till really soft, add a bit of curry and tomato paste. After a couple of minutes, add water and bring to boil. Then add any vegetables you might have in your fridge: cauliflower, carrots, sweet potato, spinach, frozen peas. You can also add some drained and rinsed canned beans. When your veggies are soft, mix in some of the broth powder to flavor it to your liking. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and enjoy.

I just keep them in a cooler room, I think freezing may make them mushy. Fridge might be alright although I haven't done that. I use it every day in my protein shakes so doesn't sit around a long time..just looked at the pkg. and says to refrigerate, guess I will be keeping it there from now on

We purchase the pre-cooked sausage and take them from the freezer put them in the cooker frozen. A lite spray of "pam" on the cooker bottom, muffin in first, sausage covered with the pepper-jack cheese, close the gated section, lite spray and a egg with yoke stuck with a fork and muffin top. Five minutes and eat'um up. Have even used a frozen "blueberry" pancakes in place of the muffin. Its all GOOD!

The alternative is to place in a boiling pan. I find the microwave to be the best choice. Variar remember that you can place in the freezer.

I usually store my freezer meals in a freezer ziplock bag. I suppose you could try it but you would have to find a way to close it really well. Otherwise it will spill before it is frozen. It might freeze an awkward shape and not fit into the crock pot. Plus, the plastic is not very thick like a zip lock bag or freezer bag.

1.) keep the ground meat [product] REALLY COLD!2.) keep the whole press rinsed frequently. I use a large pan of cool water at my work area. The cooking spray helps too.If you are making patties ahead for the freezer-place them on "waxed" patty papers and initially freeze on a tray/sheet INDIVIDUALLY.After frozen, you can stack and package. If you stack them prior to freezing, they will probably stick together even with a waxed paper.

I freeze soups, chili, spaghetti sauce.... anything liquid in the bags without a problem. They freeze beautifully and stack perfectly in the freezer.

I thawed and refroze in ice cube trays and keep in freezer bag. Great product!

To be honest I took one bite and threw the rest out. =") Would double wraping it in foil and then a zip lock freezer bag work? Squeeze the air out of it maybe?

Once you hydrate these is cold water, you can insert them in many recipes. Casserole like potato au gratin. Or pat dry, oil and season them and bake them. Or cook the in soups or stews. You could simmer them in boiling water until tender, drain and mash or make German potato salad. The prep work is done. No peeling or slicing. &#128515;

I did freeze them. I have reused them for a couple of different parties and the freezing helped preserve their life. So I assume refrigeration would work as well. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.
