  • Re: new build in werribee

    I have flour cryovaced which I freeze for a few days them take out and store in the pantry.
    Hopefully to kill the eggs of any weevils.
    Preppers use de oxygenaters and mylar bags and talk of storage of about 10 to 15 years.

      Dave, Your luck might improve if you keep any eye out and cut the ad from the Aldi catalogue next time they run the vacuum packers. I bought one about 5 years ago and it is still going strong.
      Cheers ......... Steve

            Hey Dave did you make call to see if you can get caputo flour yet.

            Will be firing up tonight to try the dough. Like most have been using wallaby. Do am interested to see if noticeable difference.

              Gudday Colin
              No I haven't as yet will have to next week.
              Only thing is 25 kg is a lot of flour. I know that 10 kg takes a bit of time to use. 1kg gets you about 6 dough balls . Works out a 25 kg bag should yield 150 pizzas. I'm thinking a out my waistline. Cause that's a lots pizza.
              I'd be better splitting a bag. Ill have to make some phone calls.
              Regards dave

                You are right Dave. It is a lot of flour. Splitting is what I would do. Might contact the other guy building locally and set up a buying group.

                Although I did go through 10kg of wallaby since Xmas. Few guests seeing how the oven performs.

                  The Lighthouse brand pizza flour, available at Coles supermarkets in 1kg boxes makes excellent pizza dough. I buy 12.5 kg bags of Allied Mills pizza flour from a wholesale food supplier at a good price.

                    For those in Melbourne there are 6 bags left at lakes fresh food market @ $ 50 each. Bargain.

                    Ok. Storage of said flour any idea?
                    Hi Colin
                    Got a vacuum packer (Unika) from Sydney boat show last year, come with lots of bags and rolls of bag making tubes, you can get them direct from Munro.
                    I get 10kg bags and split into 1kg lots and freeze. Not sure how long you could store but would have to be 12 months +.

                      Well i tried the Caputo . I must say I need wow. Light crispy, taste is just too die for compared to other fours I've tried. Have tried the light house, wallaby. But this flour is just better all round. I made an Olive oil and garlic small amount of cheese, kanji, sees me seeds and a little habonero chilli. I wanted the base to be the star. All I can say is was worth the effort in ditching the flour.

                        Hey Liteceeper

                        Curious that's one expensive vac, googled it. Did you get it cheaper than what I saw. Don't think i could justify that price with swmbo

                          Had them on special I think around the $270 mark with lots of extra bag material. If you save $1.00 or so for each kilo will only take 10 bags of Caputo to break even.

                          But good for storing toppings etc. also, I grow home vegetables which I blanch and freeze so you could get away with saying its multi purpose?

                            My Aldi one was about $70
                            $14 for a box with 2 rolls of bags in it.
                            Its been going for 2 or 3 years now.
                            Just got another box of bags, in a roll, a few weeks back.(still $14).

                            Its earned its keep just in no freezer burns on fish
                            Let alone bulk flour and rice and everything else.

                              Hmm 70 vs 270. Hmmmm. Might have to go cheaply. If it dies, then spend up on quality.

                              I guess 2 years use would say it's good value.

                                If you are looking for another reason to buy a vac sealer you should try Sous Vide cooking. This is the antitheses of wood fired oven cooking in that you cook slow in a precise, temperature controlled water bath. We have a Sunbeam Sous Vide that cost about $180.

                                The steaks, chicken etc that we have cooked have been amazing. Because it is temp controlled every mm of food is cooked exactly as required (rare, medium etc) and because it is vacuum sealed no moisture escapes at all.

                                I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
