Marketman, your ham photos just stirred a craving that I have to satisfy at this time of night in Baguio City! and you know how cold it is right now here, it is all over the news. I cannot use my car because my children will hear me. So my only choice is to use my motorcycle by taking it out of my garage and starting it a block away from my house. I just hope my gloves and jacket hold up to the chill. Curse you!

So nice to know its available here! I am on my second food saver as the first one conked out on me. The new version of the food saver is good for items you want to store with liquid. It just makes everything i vacuum seal fresh. Sometimes i also vacuum items that might spill when i travel. It’s really an amazing machine!

We are very much a reduce/reuse/recycle household–as everyone should be. Don’t forget that vacuum seal packaging can be safely reused. Cut the pieces larger than you think you will need, and seal. When ready to use the food, cut off the sealed end and remove the vacuum-packed food, wash the plastic thoroughly and air dry, and it is perfectly good for another use. This is true as well for other food-grade plastics, like ziploc bags, which are usually good for at least 2 or 3 uses

MM, how much is a roll/pack from Coleman? Costco (Sunbeam) costs under $29 per pack of two rolls; Aldi’s (when available) costs $15 per pack of 2 rolls.

There was a kickstarter project I backed a couple of months ago called “Thrifty Vac”
(https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1066541019/thriftyvac)

Basically a “poor man’s” vacuum sealing apparatus that tries to vacuum as much air as possible air out of normal ziploc bags. It is good enough for re-packaging meats into ziploc bags for medium to long-term freezer storage, or even for sous-vide cooking.
(Incidentally, there have also been some successful sous-vide cooking kickstarter projects though they were also still a bit pricey for me to jump on at the time.)
