18. Freeze Extra Produce and Meat
During the ongoing epidemic, grocery stores often limit the amount of meat you want to buy. If you buy a large volume of beef, you mostly use half of it when cooking for the family. This is where our cooking tips come in handy. When you first get home from the supermarket or grocery stores, divide them into proportions, then store them in sliding zip-seal closure bags. Make sure to remove air from the pack to avoid freezer burn. When you are ready to cook, you can just take out the amount that you need. Besides, these smaller bags are also easier to defrost than a large block of meat. The same idea applies to large amounts of fruits and vegetables.
Remember to cut them and freeze any additional products, so there won’t be any wasted food. If you’re one of those people who likes to buy new kitchen appliances, you might want to purchase a vacuum sealer that will help your food survive longer in the freezer. Some people have a lot of fun with gadgets because it’s like buying a new toy. However, speaking from personal experience, this is necessary, and it will use a lot of storage space. Using old plastic bags is good enough to keep your food frozen.
