From: JohnboyI've had a food saver vac. system now for 10 yrs. [many different models]. They work great/tell me you’re coming over for dinner..take a steak out/put it lukewarm water/20 mins later ready for grill..one week chicken breast are 3.99 pound, next week on sale for 1.99#. Buy a family pack or two, freeze ‘em up...get the picture?? Never had freezer burn//wash them out good and re-use//always cut the bag a little larger than you need so you can re-use.
