hmmmm … yes, it does. I think I tried it that way, but my bags were too small (probably) as I didn’t have any luck. You have inspired me to try again 🙂 Thanks for this post. It is time for me to start thinking about make ahead meals as we are starting up school soon!

Jen,
I use a bag that’s plenty big and vacuum until just before the marinade reaches the seal. Then I prematurely seal it. So it’s not a true vacuum but most of the air is out and the thicker bag seems to do the job.
Hope that helps!
Melissa

That’s the one thing I have trouble with – when I use it with the liquids, it messes up the seal of the bags! I used to put the meat in and freeze for a few hours and then seal them up, but that became very time consuming.

Awesome! We recently lost our refrigerator and freezer contents, including all of my breast milk, after a storm. We’ve been talking about a generator ever since — seems like it could be worth it!

Lisa,
We have a generator that we use to plug the 2 refrigerators, freezer, and sump pump into when the power goes out for an extended period of time. It was well worth the investment to protect all that meat!

I bought a bunch again. I also use a foodsaver and packaged it all up yesterday. I feel like it thaws a lot faster with the vaccuum bags and stays fresher. I also like that it is already portioned out and and some i put marinade in with it. There has also been a lot of coupons lately for the foodsaver bags!
