Vacuum Sealer Hack #3: Vaccuming liquids

I do the same hack ether the drawer but now resort to using large zip lock bags, wash and reuse them 3 or four times. A vacuum sealer really made no difference in a bag.
The issues I had with the ziplock is that I can’t get the same vacuum pull. Even using the displacement method I never felt I had a good enough compression
Dr_Pain naw, don’t use a vacuum sealer at all, just remove all the air. In a hard shell vacuum container, the vacuum would expand the meat and open the pores. A bag just pushes everything together. Great if your freezing stuff. But to marinate stuff, I find no difference with ziplock bags, removing air, as to vacuuming the air out with a machine. He

That’s a great idea! I’ve also set the sealer to just seal the bag with air in it. Then, lay the bag flat in your freezer long enough so the liquid has solidified. You can then cut the bag open and seat your vacuum sealer to dry. It will pull a hard vacuum and infuse your meat even more. This definitely takes a little more time this way but, I’ve done it with soups too. That way you can have pre-made meals, set them in a hot water bath and your food is ready to go

I can’t take the credit for the idea since I saw it a while back (somewhere) and always wanted to try it. Sorry if I am not crediting the genius that came up with it, but I have much love for his recommendation.
I was making some tender jerky yesterday and sealing thought it would be nice to document the hack on Meatgistics. Having a vac chamber would make the process much easier but in the absence of that particular piece of equipment you can still vacuum seal liquids. All you need is a vacuum sealer, a drawer and gravity and you are in business. DON’T FORGET to use the “moist” setting.
Dr_Pain that is a great idea!

Dr_Pain thanks for sharing. So simple.

Dr_Pain you my friend are a steely eyed missile man.

That’s a great idea!! Thanks for sharing that. I guess if I vac and seal with purpose to freeze then why not.

Simple enough that I should have thought about it. Instead I had to read it coming from someone else LOL!!

mdseaside Dr_Pain When I seen doughnuts I had to go back and look. My guess that it is a King cake.
It is King Cake season here so we are enjoying the season

Steal away! If you ever make it part of a livestream just make sure to let the public know that we have tons of great ideas like that in the Meatgistics Community!
Did you ever find a final name for my Elbow Stuffer Cleaner Eggs??

Sausage Stuffer Flusher is the current iteration but I am guessing it might change again. Those were on sale but we ran out so we took them off sale and made them unavailable for back orders because the vendor we got them from is having some issues. Might be a while until we see more of them, so for those of you who did get them congrats!
