What's something that seems stupid but is actually smart

If you use a disposable bowl then you would be risking getting all those disposable chemicals in your food. Wouldn’t a stainless or glass bowl be preferred?
We try to limit how much contact our food has with plastics in extreme cold/heat situations, so sous vide would likely not be something my wife would be on board for. I am having a hard enough time convincing her that we need to vac seal meat for the freezer when we process.
Ridley Acres If you can show your wife that the plastic products, vac bags & such, are BPA free and food grade rated, she may feel better about vac sealing. I had to do that with my sister who had MS and was very conscious about how her food was packaged/sealed.

Do you find that your smokers temp doesn’t seem to be as accurate as it used to be? Locate your temp probe and use a warm washcloth to clean it off and bring your smoker temps back to normal.

bocephus I have to agree on the Smokehouse Cleaner. I clean all of my temp sensor s with it as well as my Traeger door edges when I have to apply new nomex gasket seals.

For our indoor wood burner we had a cleaner specific to wood stoves, but found cleaning vinegar does the trick just as well.

So I always freeze soups/stew/chili in regular Tupperware then pop the frozen block out to vac seal.

Jamieson22 I do the same with all liquid product including gravy. I found containers that are about 7-8 inches long and about 1.5 inches high. Freeze it, pop it out, then vacuum it. Sets it up for easier uniform storage.

Ridley Acres They are just plastic. Reason: I bought them (2 four packs) originally at Walmart for just leftovers because of the lower profile. Then, said: Well, why NOT use them for vac packing. Once I run out of them because the plastic cracks, I will look for silicone.

zbigjeff That’s a good idea, I think I will do the same with gravy at Thanksgiving if there is leftover as I love turkey gravy.

Those with the kids and or playsets will appreciate this life hack. Picked these up at I think it was AutoZone for cheap but they make great drink/beer holders. And they can be moved around easily.
