I posted this somewhere, and got good replies, but I can't find the post.


Im looking for recommendations, what to look for, etc.
 
One of my favorite purchases I have ever made. I have a FoodSaver, not sure of the model but it has the place for the bag storage inside the machine along with the cutting strip. I would recommend getting one that has similar option as it makes cutting the bags to size much easier after dealing.

I did not research too much about which one to buy just bought the newer version of my original one that died after almost 10 years. I would imagine most are very similar at this point.
 
We've had a Foodsaver 2200 for about eight years, still works great. Its saved a lot of cheese over that time and seems to extend the life of frozen meat. I use it when I'm going to sous vide something as well.

Can you Sous vide meat in the sealed bag, the freeze it in the same bag?

Yes, I have vacuum sealed meat, frozen it and then at some point in the future dropped it right into the sous vide bath for cooking. There is typically NOT even a need to add time to the cooking process to account for the meat being frozen. I think the increased heat transfer properties of water versus air makes the difference between frozen meat and thawed meat negligible.
 
It was on the facebook.

Because of that post I ordered a Geryon. Package got "lost" so I cancelled and reordered. Hope to have it by next weekend.

Still can't figure out how to search my Facebook page on an iPad. Thanks.
