    KillerNoms Interesting, so youre pointing out that if it is vac-packed while it is frozen, but the vacuum remains and it thaws out that the vacuum could deform it as it thaws?

        Jonathon Yeah. The forces that flatten it when first vacuumed are the same when it is thawed - unless the bag seal has failed in some way. Only the frozen state prevents it.

          I haven’t ever noticed any flattening in mine once thawed, but I have some thawing now, so I will check them out when I open them.

            Tex_77 Yeah, this seems like something that would be fun to check. I think KillerNoms is talking more about delicate stuff though?

              Mind blown on the par freezing of the sausages.

              Also those hands on the shelf are creepy at first glance.

                HerbcoFood Yes, it really works. We do it on a lot of things, but I will have to admit, we end up par-freezing things a bit longer than an hour sometimes, but it still works out well. We also lightly oil the pan, etc. so the meat does not stick to the pan after you par-freeze & comes right up, ready to permatize.

                  I freeze mine, then vacuum seal them but not to the complete cycle on my chamber sealer. When I ready to cook them, I thaw them in the fridge for a day then sous vide them to 130 degrees before I put them on the grill.

                    I lay out the sausages, meat, or what ever I want to freeze on wax paper covered pans and sheets. No sticking when it freezes.

                      I do the Sous Vide as well. Best invention in the world (in my opinion)
