paper wrap or vaccum seal

[Tiredofthebickering]

I plastic wrap + freezer paper steaks and then vac seal cuts I know with be tossed in the Sous vide.

Do you not season before sous vide?

Depends, I do if I’m making pastrami, otherwise I don’t and just sear with seasoning after it comes out of the bag.

Interesting.... I might have to put one of those things on my Christmas list this year.

Great for cleaning heads as well...working on my third of the year right now.

Oh that's a contributing factor for sure. I saw your first run experiment with that. I just need something for cleaning. Although I do have a tiny little spike skull plate in the freezer from a couple years back . . .

Honestly I’m looking forward to a bunch of whitetail does and giving the head cleaning a rest... can’t eat antlers

Freezer paper here. I used to plastic wrap before the freezer paper but I'm now back to just freezer paper and I don't see a difference on up to year old meat.

I've always doubled wrapped with freezer paper, just the cut meats. They go easy three years. Ground meat into plastic tubes, the same. Vac seal fish with water. Freezer burn is easy to spot, just slice it out, if it matters.

I just cooked up a mule deer neck roast from 2018, wrapped in freezer paper. Miraculously, it wasn't spoiled or freezer burned.

I beat that by 3 years last month with some elk steaks. I've grown to very much prefer freezer paper.
