Ive been thinking about buying food saver for a while, but left over Q seems to disapear pretty quick (2 or 3 days). I see a lot of members here use them, so I have a couple of questions. How long can meat last sealed & frozen? Is it cost effective for small portions? I have never seen one in action, but am temped to get one. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
We use our Food Saver for a tremendous number of items from BBQ butts to dog food. I think it's very cost effective when I consider the amount of meat that we purchased that developed ice crystals and lost its freshness before we used it. We purhase meat, especially ground beef, when it's on sale and vacumn seal it. I highly recommend a Food Saver type vacumn sealer for anyone that cooks quite a bit. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
