Instead of the freezer, which causes freezer burn, how about in vacume bags with oxy absorbers to retard decay?

I avoid refrigerator/freezer in order to prevent dehydration; moisture content insures "good pop". Not sure about "oxy absorbers" - but air tight container sounds good. Actually - my popcorn doesn't last long enough to be in danger!

I would not recommend using anything but the foodsaver bags. The biggest reason is the foodsaver bages have air channels in them, so they can be vaccumed down. Regular plastic bags do not have these air passages, and won't vaccum down. It may also dammage the heat seal strip on the foodsaver. Hope this helps.

To be honest I took one bite and threw the rest out. =") Would double wraping it in foil and then a zip lock freezer bag work? Squeeze the air out of it maybe?

They would probably be OK for a short time in the freezer, maybe 1 or 2 days. These wax bags do not seal, so the air may get in and cause freezer - burn.

It is unsafe to re-use any kind of bag in cooking, especially sous vide. Don't do it. Just consider them an expendable item.

To the best of my knowledge only the Vacmaster canisters. By the way these do work in the freezer.

In your case, you should remove the cubes once they have frozen and put them in a freezer bag or tupperware that will prevent freezer burn. It is an easy fix. :) that also empties your trays so you can make more food at any time.

A foodsaver vacuum sealer works, you can also use an impulse sealer. I have heard of people using an iron as well but I haven't tried that.

You can if you want your freezer to reek of onion. I just threw mine away because it would not contain the smell.

I've used these bags in the freezer, and as they are not air tight, if you leave them in the freezer too long, I'm sure you'd see freezer burn. I have stored bread in these bags in the freezer for 4 weeks and haven't noticed any problem.

The Vacuum Zipper bags and containers are designed for refrigerator items, such as deli meats and cheeses, that you access everyday. We do not recommend using them for long-term freezer storage. The FoodSaver heat seal bags are ideal for the freezer.

I would suggest cutting sections and leaving them in the pan, freezing the entire pan covered with plastic wrap, then when frozen removing and putting sections in "seal a meal" type vacuum bags and putting the sections back into the freezer.

yes... anything you froze before, and put in foil & a ziplock bag, before throwing in the fridge, you can seal w/the vacumm... liquids, like soup, need to be frozen to the point of being solid or the vacumm will suck up the liquid causing it not seal properly. home-made tv dinners or small portions of food can be sealed. they even have lids that go on jars that can seal dried foods, etc. meats you have done in a smoker, or foods you have grilled... it's great. no freezer burn.

I did. I think at one point I had 10 or so gallon-size Ziploc bags full of sticks in my freezer. I think they work great (I prefer the sticks to bags because you can always pull just what you need & they thaw faster). The only thing I would say is I would only do that with a chest freezer. I think the temperature isn't consistent enough in a regular freezer and the sticks would end up clumping together over time.

Great question to which I have no answer. We go through a bag in a month or so and it is always fine. I don't see why you couldn't freeze it and/or use a vac sealer to extend the life if you are concerned about your usage rate.

I was told to just immerse the bag into the water bath (before heating it up) and bring the zip to just above the water line and close it, being careful not allow any water in. I tried sucking the air out as I do with stuff I'm putting in the freezer- bad idea, coughed on garlic powder and pepper!

To be honest, that is the worst part... I put on gloves, unscrew the cap, fill it a little more with water to loosen any dead yuck, take it waaaay out back, and dump it without looking at it. My friend takes it out back and does the whole operation inside a black trashbag so she doesn't have to see it.There are disposable traps that are similar (Rescue! is one that comes to mind,) but it ends up costing so much more in the long run.
