    I was scared the noodles and other ingredients would mush up and not be visually appealing. It was cool to watch it vac seal to the shape of the bowl.

      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.

                  are these plastic or silicone?

                    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.
