« How to throw a party | Main | By the sea, by the beautiful sea » Friday, August 10, 2007I've been thinking about getting one of these
It's a vacuum sealer for summer fruits, vegetables, and fish. My longtime co-author Julie Riven has one to freeze bluefish that her husband catches and smokes. My butcher has one, so everything he gives me is airtight. I think the butcher does it because so many customers freeze his meat. In fact, vacuum-sealed meats of his that I've frozen last for months without deterioration. Earlier this summer, I emptied the freezer of all single steaks I'd been tucking away, we lit the grill, and a dozen of us ate like kings. The comments page on amazon.com has people going on and on about how much they love the FoodSaver brand sealer. Someone in Florida seals uncooked pasta. I'm not sure I'd get that obsessive. But it's tempting for ordinary things, like roasted plum tomatoes, fresh corn kernels, and other seasonal items. I already put a few of these things away. I'll reach into the freezer on some cold winter day and pull out a package and it will make me smile. Posted by Sheryl Julian at 03:23 PM
