Can Caul Fat be frozen, and if so how long does it keep vac packed and frozen
1123155
This is my first experience as well. I understand it can be frozen for several months although you may want to store it in individual packages. The order I received from Amazon came in 2 - 5 lb. packages. Check out the video from the HULU series Julia & Jacques cooking at home. Season 1, episode 17. Also do a net search How to use Caul Fat.

Yes it can be frozen for a very long time. I buy it to make my own sausages at home and I keep the caul fat vacuum sealed in my freezer. It seems like it will last for years this way.

I have not tried but I understand that it will NOT. I bought this unit a little more than a year ago and I use it everyday. It has more than paid for itself and my freezer in that time. We simply don't throw food away. Vac seal and freeze become grab and go. The chamber units allow you to save liquids, seal jars and all kinds of things. I bought a bag of potato chips, sealed them in a jar and opened it 8 months later--they were great. It won't replace canning but it does save money immediately. Hope that helps. One final thought is that vacumaster does make other units which do seal mylar bags. I've sealed mine with an iron, straw and oxygen obsorbers. I have not tried but I understand that it will NOT.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Once contents are properly cooled (or flash frozen) they can be placed in a FoodSaver bag, sealed and frozen. If that doesn't answer your question let me know.

You can store in the freezer or vaccum seal. It will keep longer in the freezer, but make sure it's air tight.

I did not see that the "moist feature" worked all that well. Blanched some fresh corn off the cob to freeze, and could not get a seal on the bags - pulled to much liquid out. Let it freeze overnight and then tried it again and it vac sealed beautifully. Hope this helps.

yes. If you hear swishing around in there, it's not cold enough. Leave it in the freezer for at least 24 hrs. It takes a while.

I would not fill with liquids as in the vacuum process they tend to leak out if you put to much in. The unit does a great job on fruits, meats, and vegetables from the garden. I love the unit. Last years green beans look they did when I sealed them, the peaches also. Meats do not show any sign of freezer burn. However, I tried it on a hoagie roll and it looked like a cigar after all the air was remover. It did expand back to about 90% of its original size as we opened it and did not freeze it. Man did my wife and I laugh, One second there was the roll the next It looked like a cigar.

I haven't had experience with the product long enough to answer the question authoritatively. However, the manufacturer's claim seems reasonable -- which is likely conservative -- based on my experience with other dry milk products. From the can label:"Packed under protective atmosphere. Store in a cool and dry place. Once opened keep tightly covered. Best before end; see bottom".As the other reviewer commented, the packed-to-end period is two years.

No, the canister does not need to be frozen. Ice cream freezes perfectly during the churning process. Just keep adding ice and salt as the ice melts.

I don't think if it froze that would ruin it. I'm not sure what the red stuff is made of but it's not runny like a liquid. It does takes it awhile for it to adjust to a different temperature. I hope that helps you somewhat.

We packaged ours into 1/4 cup measures into separate zip top baggies and froze them. We preheat our kettle and then drop in the frozen oil, and it works great. Less messy too. I imagine it will store at least a year in the freezer, but I couldn't say how long you could store it at room temperature. Here in Florida, I can't keep any solid shortening for more than 6 months before it becomes rancid. HTH! Sandra

YES, I have been using this item for several years, recently I have been using ZipLoc Perfect Portions to place whatever food I am going to place in my Handi-Vac bags, this will keep the food fresher and also keep freezer burn from happening. Can't say enough good things about this product, I always use this when I buy in bulk for chicken, steaks, or anything else I freeze. I was the used bags with soap and water and let them dry, and use them again. Hope this was helpful and answered your question.

I will be storing in the freezer. Because of the volatile oils (substantial) it makes sense to freeze in order to maintain freshness as long as possible

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this. BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

Yes, it can be "frozen" which is more like chilled. The usage statement says to place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

Moist foods should be patted dry with a paper towel.Liquids must be prefrozen. For this I use a sandwich sized lock-top container.Remove from container and vacuum seal.Bill
