Two techniques make it significantly more effective than just throwing a package in the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>First freeze meat flat. A flat package freezes faster, thaws faster, and stacks more efficiently in the freezer than a thick bundle of protein. Less time waiting, less freezer burn, more space.<\/p>\n<p>Second use water to vacuum seal. Submerging the bag in water before sealing pushes out air the same way a vacuum sealer does. No expensive equipment needed. Food stays fresh significantly longer in the freezer with this method and it works on vegetables, fish, and other proteins too.<\/p>\n<p>Buy in bulk when meat goes on sale. Prep it flat. Seal it right.
