[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3485373, member: 24583"] I have been using standard Zip Lock bags for sealing and freezing for years. Stuff the bag, Seal the lock over to one side with a standard plastic straw inserted about a half inch inside the bag. Hand mash down a little to get most of the air out or flatten content to be able break off chunks to use after frozen later like chopped onions, peppers, or even a couple slices of brisket stacked with a little space in between stacks or pulled pork flattened thin if I only need to make one sandwich at a time. Then I suck the rest of the air out with the straw. Pull the straw out with teeth while having a finger to snap the last little part of the zip seal as the straw is sliding out. Prob not as efficient as a machine, but has been working for me for years and is easy to reseal that way again if I want only part of the content to use at a time. Takes up no cabinet space, needs no cleaning, just toss the straw form the big box that was cheep, or run it though the dishwasher if you are running short. Works for me if I am doing something that uses a few bags at a time like a PB or brisket. Yep, if I was processing a deer or a cow, I would have a different mind set.. [/QUOTE]
