Yeah, I could be a lot happier about that too, but at least at freezer temperatures the damage is reduced. If mason jars were practical for vacuum-sealing and freezing sausages, I'd use them for that too, but I'm afraid the plastic vacuum bags are the only thing that works for that application. , I recently read in a health magazine that as long as the food is cold when put into a plastic wrap or container, the plastic won't leach out into the food, except for acidic type foods like tomato sauces.

I thought that was good news, if true! It's definitely true to some extent. Whether it's completely true is something else entirely, but the only thing I use the plastic vacuum wrap for is sausage, and I try to freeze sausage before sealing it, so I figure I'm about as OK in that department as I realistically can be. The insane thing is that Tilia recommends cooking food INSIDE THE PLASTIC! But thankfully there's no need to do that. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
