Beef, its finally dinner!
Never tried the bag and refreeze thing. Interesting. Still great taste?Does reheating frozen smoked meat inside the Foodsaver bag count as another cook? If so, I need to update my scorecard.
Honestly, it is a great time saver during the week. Place the bag on the rack with the oven on low and check on it every 20 minutes or so. No loss of moisture, and some stuff I have found actually gets more tender.
Last night was 1" loin chops that I brined and smoked last month.
Yeah, the flavor is still there. One thing to note, these are vacuum sealed, so everything is there without the freezer burn from a ziplock or the like.Never tried the bag and refreeze thing. Interesting. Still great taste?
Yep, figured that. I like how you retain the moisture and flavor on the thaw/reheat too.Yeah, the flavor is still there. One thing to note, these are vacuum sealed, so everything is there without the freezer burn from a ziplock or the like.
A co-worker told me about this years ago. If you don't have the Foodsaver bag, I have used a plastic container to put the meat in, filled the container with the cooking juices, topped off with water, and froze. Thawed it out in the microwave (which made the house smell great again).Does reheating frozen smoked meat inside the Foodsaver bag count as another cook? If so, I need to update my scorecard.
