Vacuum sealing tucker.

[jeff]

Fellers,
Any experience with the manual vacuum unit named "Pump n Seal"?
The advertising blurb reads well, and it would be invaluable when camping for storage of 'roo cuts. (Or bald-eagle drumsticks).

A search on vacuum sealing only produced James' question re cheese storage. Did I not search properly?
Thanks one more time.
Jeff the Ignorant.

Re: Vacuum sealing tucker.

Funny name, pump and seal. Sounds like, uh.... Ah, never mind.

Never heard of it. We've got the Food Saver (tucker keeper) and one or two other types in the states. They're awesome with dry foods. Moist and wet foods make a mess when it the moisture gets sucked into the machine.

The bags or rolls that you custom cut are a bit spendy, but worth it if you have the patience to clean them out and re-use them. Smoked salmon fillets were a pain in the pooper because even small remaining bones would puncture the bags and destroy the seal.

I love mine Jeff!

Great for large pieces of cheese that can't be consumed at one time.

Not so good for ground meat, but it can be done.

The moisture, as George says, can be a problem.


Dang Luddites....

Don't you watch late night admercials?

Redneck Dave,

Diversion Alert.

A 'Friend' left 2L (1000 gallons) of coke (the drink, by any other name), in our freezer.
About 3AM the house shook, Missus shat herself, got up and sorted it.Freezer door was blown open
(Onya, worrywort. Fellers, she's good.Case of 'has to'. hahaha).

[[That's pure bullshit!! (Lying mongrel)].

Turns out that the 'Unnamed drink' needed to strut its stuff: blew the freezer door open (busted plastic at the arse-end also. Recoiless 106 maybe). Syrup over walls and ceiling. All terribly entertaining. ha fn ha.

So,Dangerously Delusively RedNeckerred Dave, I look forward to your time lapse of the 'Yeast Attack'. Be awesome you derro, teach.

Re: Vacuum sealing tucker.

I bought a Pump-n-seal some years ago. The pump is lightweight plastic and slid all over. If one were equipped with three hands, it would work perfectly.
I sent it back and explained the problem. I got a nasty reply. So, I bought a real vacuum sealer. Pump-n-seal sucks.

Re: Vacuum sealing tucker.

VAcume sealers are great! for the home use partially freeze your meats or fully freeze the sauces/liquids and then seal. Works great!

Re: Vacuum sealing tucker.

We have one we use for avoiding freezer burn on Bambi. Lots of Bambi. Ground Bambi, Bambi sausage, Bambi steaks. Can you tell my husband got 3 last fall? I think I made close to 100 pounds of sausage. My KitchenAid (I know it isn't the best, but good old Dinah is a trooper) plowed thru it all.

We don't have trouble with liquids from ground meat, but we also tend to get it pretty dry before we seal it up. I did have some trouble with a couple of the sausage recipes which had added liquids, but you get pretty good at stopping before you suck it all up where the sun doesn't shine... and bleach water cleans out the trough pretty well.

Works really well to prevent freezer burn. don't forget to label the bags, though, or you don't know what you're looking at (except in my case, I do know. chances are...it's some form of Bambi, )

Re: Vacuum sealing tucker.

Yes! Label them. How many times have you said to yourself - oh, ... I'll remember. I can't say how many times I've played "Guess what this is?" as I stared at a frozen bag. Of course, a slow thaw usually proves me wrong.
Now I have at least 6 Sharpie's in the kitchen.
