Foodsaver For Christmas

[Matt Goin]

Well it appears all the cooks I have done for my family have finally paid off. My parents bought me a Foodsaver!! I just got finished cleaning out the freezer and repackaging the freezer bagged good into vacuum- sealed goods!!

Question though.. I did a butt last sunday and have been eating it all week. It has been in the fridge for 5 -6 days. Should I proportion and frezze or pitch it until the next cook?

I'd toss it. Three days in the fridge is is usually the max I'd recommend, and I prefer to vac-seal and freeze even before that if possible. Have I ever eaten older-than-3-day leftovers? Yes, occasionally-- depending on what it is-- but I don't ever freeze such.

Doug's hit the nail on the head!! Better to be safe than sorry!!
