Walton's Chamber Vac
-
Yep! That’s how it done.
-
PapaSop yes it is. This will be a game changer at our house!
-
Finally got to use this beast. I sealed 3 bags of soup to freeze. I can tell you I am really going to like this vac sealer. Between this chamber sealer and the Walton’s Fresh sealer I will have everything covered!
-
Randie N yep they are. Still on the fence with sous vide stuff.
-
I like it cause if you get distracted (like I usually do…) you wont burn your dish.
-
PapaSop The only thing I wonder about with the vacuum-packed freeze is if there is enough elasticity in the wrap to allow for the expansion of the product when freezing. How is it looking guys? Frozen brick chili is FANTASTIC when thawed & heated up when you need a steaming hot bowl of Chili in the Winter.

ND Mike Let’s keep our fingers crossed that all is well because it looks so good, I would really hate to see that happen. Not to mention the fact that it just packs away so much better than soup cylinders or mason jars. I always have to leave several inches of head space before I put the caps on with the normal containers, but hopefully the plastic has enough give in it that it will make up for it all.

calldoctoday I’m not luck enough to have a chamber vac yet. For soups and chili I still just use ziplock freezer bags and manually take out as much air as possible, then freeze on its side. Let me know how the chamber vac goes.

ND Mike congrats on an awesome machine. It’s on my wish list.

ND Mike great to hear. That’s another good reason to get one.

ND Mike That is good news, I have frozen broth in ziplocks and had no problems but of course I couldn’t the air out like a chamber vac.

Two days in. No worries.PapaSop Then you should be good. Really glad to hear that because when I can afford to get one, I would really like to freeze my soups, sauces, & chilis that way.

ND Mike Super, that is really good to hear because when I can afford to get one, I would really like to store my sauces, soups, & chilis that way you guys did that.
