What are you cooking?

Glad I checked how many quart vacuum freezer bags I have as I only have 4 left and need more. Just order 72 of the things that will be here Monday so all is good.

I do a LOT of slicing and dicing then freeze. Currently I have 6 bell peppers, 2.5 pounds of shrooms and 2 large red onions to do. LOL! I don't think 4 bags would do it.

I slice and then flash freeze spread out on a sheet pan in my chest freezer. Then bag and freeze. Flash freezing spread out prevents sticking together.

a good while back we quit using the individual vacuum bags. we buy the rolls 8inches and 11inches wide and make those as large as we want. have to put up some broccoli I picked up earlier this afternoon. will be putting up more collard greens and also the broccoli leaves.

I like the bags with the zip close and vacuum valve as they can be reused. The pump is sort of like a reverse bicycle pump. The pump can be electric but mine is manual.

Huh, I think I need to up my freezing game, lol. I used to want a vac bag sealing tool. But now I need to research vacuum bag seals. Or maybe I'll just keep squeezing out the air as best I can & call it good enough.

You guys help me think of new ways to do things, thank you!

I couldn't do the freezer stuff with just my apartment's fridge. I bought a 7.1 cubic foot chest freezer for doing. I don't just do the veggie stuff. When I make pasta sauce, chili and stews I use a 2 gallon slow cooker and also bag and freeze. I'm a believer of cooking once and eating often.
