Vacuum Sealers

Vacuum sealers, though newish on the cooking scene, promise to change the way we shop, cook, and store our food. There are many on the market, but we like the Reynolds Handi-Vac Vacuum because it's compact (about nine inches long), inexpensive ($9.99), and sold in supermarkets. It's also easy to use. Sealers work by sucking the air out of plastic bags so you can store food in the freezer with no freezer burn. So think of the possibilities: buying at farmers markets when produce is in season, purchasing meat and poultry in quantity from local farmers, cooking for the week. Just seal and freeze, each bag will remain airtight and free of freezer burn for months.
