I am doing a bake of brown rice, chicken breast, peas, celery, bell peppers
and peas. Also contains olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, parsley, thyme and
just a tiny bit of oregano. Cooked everything ahead of time. It's just
heating through now. Used some onion free chicken broth powder to season the
rice and veggies. Smells really good.

If there is time, I will likely bake a tube of crescent rolls. Got a lot of
them for cheap at Walmart. On second thought... Whole wheat cheese biscuits
might be better. Don't want to mess up a healthy meal with poofy fluff.

* Here we thawed out a baggie of spaghetti sauce and a couple of slices

the bread with butter and garlic powder and tossed it in the toaster

I'm sure they will, nothing wrong with tossing stuff like that out since
there are many good ideas that others have not heard about. I hear lots of

I guess it depends how many you are cooking for. Ours is a 3.2 litre but I
am cooking just for 2 of us.

I had my eye on a Philips or this one, The Power Air Fryer made from Tristar
Products, had a good discount so ... I am very pleased with it.

Ask Terry as well, what he has.

You waste Zip-Locs thata way, lots of em. I have a supply of
rectangular reuseable one pint, and one quart
plastic tubs... stack in the freezer like bricks leaving just enough
room for air to circulate... some I wash by hand, some go into the
dishwasher. No wasted Zip-Locs. My tubs nest so no wasted storage
space... even the lids nest.

Me too. We go through at least two dairy product tubs each week, yogurt,
or sour cream, margarine etc. Those make suitable containers for
leftovers. They can be washed out and used again, or they can go into
cycling. There is not neat to create more waste.

I love Ziploc bags. I bought a box of 500 gallon sized ones today. I use them for sous vide, mixing dough, and even storage. They make my life easier and better.

The one gallon size suck. They are too large for most items. The one
quart size is very often too small. However they don't make a two
quart size. I find Zip-Locs a big rip off. I'll change my mind when
they make a two quart size... but they never will. They get you to
waste money buying the expensive too large gallon size.

Let me send you $20 so you can afford them for the next ten years.
What's your address so I can mail a check?

Agreed. I have Rubbermaid brand storage containers in different
stackable sizes. The lids snap together when not in use. The
containers all nest neatly.

I use freezer bags for some things but definitely not for freezing
liquids, sauces or soups. I'd worry about the seal and possibly
dripping out in my freezer. Plus, freezer bags are expensive. In some
instances you can re-use them but in the case of spaghetti sauce,
probably not.

But hey, if it works for some folks... great. As long as they enjoyed
their spaghetti dinner.

When I buy fresh cheeses I'll store them in the fridge in a freezer bag
(whatever brand you choose). But I also keep the cheese well wrapped
inside the bag. The bags can be washed and reused a few times.
Something like tomato sauce in a freezer bag? I can't see being able to
re-use the bag after storing acidic tomato sauce in it.

I have stackable Rubbermaid containers I use for nearly all my
refrigerated and frozen leftovers. Lots of different sizes. They don't
take up much room.

I wouldn't trust the seal on a freezer bag when storing liquid. Does it
have an actual zipper tab? Or do you have to rely on Yellow + Green =
Blue to make sure you've got the bag sealed?

This might be where a Food Saver comes into play. Me, I just use
reliable, reusable, washable, stackable freezer containers.

I make 12 gallons (+/-) of spaghetti sauce at a time. I fill each
quart Ziploc freezer bag with 16 ounces of sauce. I lay them flat,
overlapping on a couple of half sheet pans. I put the pans in the
deep freeze until everything is frozen solid. Then I use a 2 or 3
three gallon zip bags to corral all the bags of spaghetti sauce.
Everything is flat, everything is frozen and kept together. Once
years ago I had a couple of bags from the same box leak immediately as
I filled them. I called the company and they sent me coupons for a
couple of free boxes of bags.

I need the gallon size to mix bread dough and shortcrust. All the other sizes are too small. I go through a lot of them and would never think of going back to mixing up these things in a bowl. I am one happy camper.

I use all three. Yesterday I got a bunch of rump steaks. I used 'Food
Savers' to sous vide them and then into the freezer.
