Since a while ago, I have taken over the cooking duties at home. DW's health has been getting progressively worse (advanced COPD, other issues) and it's really too much for her to handle that chore.
I have limited skills when it comes to cooking so bear with me here. I can build a manufacturing plant from a Greenfield site, but have trouble with boiling eggs! But I am getting better. And we are also tired of take out and gong to restaurants as we are blowing too much dough for a family of two.
I have lots of cooking equipment available to me; BBQ grill, smoker, oven, stove top burners, microwave, etc. And we have two full size refrigerators with double doors. What I don't have is a vacuum sealer. Now that I am cooking, I'm finding out that leftovers are a real deal and I don't have an efficient way to handle them, other than dropping them in the trash can (which we all know that is a waste) or putting them in plastic containers and then in the fridge. We have plenty of freezer space.
I have searched around for a thread here on vacuum sealers and couldn't find one.
Any recommendations on which one to buy?
Features I should get?
What about bags?
Pluses or minuses?
What to watch out for?
Any good/bad experiences with use?
Etc?
Thanks!
