Glenn.....do you have a Vac Sealer?

yep. Not really a fan though.

cost of the bags???

that and maybe other things. I hate it when they appear to seal then later aren't. I usually only do enough for 1 year at a time

Granted I don't have the best vacuum sealer but not the cheapest either.

[KEN W]

I have been buying them here for quite awhile. Works just as well as the more expensive ones.

Anyone ever done this?

[glenn57]

 Nope.

that's a new one...

  Sis & BIL make theirs with milk & butter but it's cut it off the cob & blanched. Then 1 meal's worth goes in a vac seal bag & frozen. I'm not sure of the exact method but it's good.
