I then made a super simple glaze and served them with some grilled scallions and rice. The next evening, I sliced them into chunks and pan seared them.

You can purchase FoodSaver ® Sous-vide Vacuum Seal Bags (as well as the FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System) in-store or online at Target or on Amazon. Sous-vide bags are safe for microwave, fridge, and freezer. Give it a half-hour after you seal it and you will be good to go.Īnother trick of mine to extend the life of garden or store-bought herbs for a bit longer is to quickly seal them in batches, then I use them up within a week and a half or so. No need to have your meat marinate for hours. The vacuum sealer removes the air from the sous-vide bags, it also causes the pores of the food to open which allows the marinade to work harder, quicker due to the quick penetration. I save money because I’m not wasting food.įoodSaver® Sous-vide Vacuum Seal Bags are tough! They can go from your freezer right into a hot water bath via sous vide, no problem.Īnother great use for the FM2000 is in marinating meats and veggies. Vacuum sealing eliminates the air, so now my meats don’t get freezer burn. The fantastic thing about Freezer burn happens when the surface of the food comes in contact with air and dries out over time. One of the uses that I am particularly excited about is being to buy meat in bulk at Costco and then vacuum sealing and freezing it for later use.

My 100% Italian girlfriend Maria has had her food saver since it first came out a very long time ago. BUT when I do, it works great! This is seriously one of the easiest small kitchen appliances you will ever use. Most of the time I don’t have much (if any) of a marinade when I use it. I also really like the removable drip tray inside the FM2000. The heat seal is perfect as well, so no worries about anything leaking after it seals.

One of the coolest gadgets on the market is a FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System. I mean, just LOOK at that sexy bite! Super-moist on the inside and everything you want it to be on the outside! Swoon! However, for me, meat and certain seafood’s are what shine. Sure you sous vide other things like eggs, veggies, and even some desserts. You end up with incredibly moist, tender proteins (meat and fish). Here’s the thing about sous vide cooking. Then, the next thing you know I am all about it. I don’t know about you but when new cooking gadgets come out, often I say to myself…I like how I do it or I can do that with what I have, however, once I decide to try the “it” out, I am like what took me so long! Haha! It was the same way with digital cameras for me and sometimes I am like that with new to me foods. Some people have yet to embrace sous vide cooking, it took me a while. This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of FoodSaver® however, all thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own. Pork belly is something I enjoy making (and eating!!) so I decided to try a new technique when making it and did a Sous Vide Asian Pork Belly. Today I am sharing a recipe for one of my favorite cuts of meat…The humble Pork Belly. ![]()
