Freezer Storage
------------------------
I am thinking of purchasing a FoodSaver and using that to store my
items in the freezer. It seems to get good reviews on Amazon. Does
anyone use this or have any input on it?

Refridgerator Storage
-----------------------------
Pyrex or Lock & Lock ? Right now we use Sharper Image's Miracle Food
Storage containers (received as a gift). At first they were great, but
now the side plastic flaps that lock down no longer lock down. I guess
we could try writing the company and see if they would replace the
lids. But in the meantime, I'm thinking of Pyrex while my wife says
Lock & Lock (gets good reviews on QVC.com FWIW) Any suggestions here?

Thanks!
Paul

I have a Food Saver and it's going up for sale in the next yard sale. I
recently purchased a cheap Reynolds one in the grocery store and I'm
infinitely happier with it. Bags are cheaper, too.

The food saver I have is a small one and it requires that things like
steak or chicken breasts be pre-frozen before vacuum sealing. If you
don't pre-freeze, you have to stuff a wad of paper towel into the top of
the bag or the liquid will break the machine when it sucks it in. The
cheapie grocery store Reynolds system has a way to trap the liquids and
still seal the bags.

As for the seal lasting, I find no difference in the two. Maybe the top
of the line Food Savers are better, but I'm happy enough with the little
Reynolds one so I'm not even going to try.
