I use vacuum seal bags Andy and have kept all those you mentioned for up

and veggies in the freezer is basically freezer burn. No air gets to it,
it won't freezer burn.

That's why I got my Tilia, I couldn't seem to avoid freezer burn no
matter what I did. Now, I don't worry. I said I'd use meat up to
a year, but I probably would longer than that. It just never happens
here, I don't stock up that much food that it would last longer than a
few months.

I generally don't either Nancy but sometimes friends who are farmers or
cattlemen give me things that are more than we can eat at one sitting so
into vacuum bags they go.

Additionally we are gardeners and I often put up veggies in vacuum bags
and certain dishes go that route too.

I'm on my second Tilia in about ten or twelve years and wouldn't be
without one.
