I love my foodsaver vacuum sealer for many reasons. One is because we can buy meat when it’s on sale, do stuff to it (cutting goop off of chicken, which my sweet husband does), and then freeze it in a manner that will 1) take up less room in the freezer and 2) last significantly longer.
So, when we made burgers for the fourth of July (not just patties of meat, but actual delicious flavorings and stuff mixed in), we made a whole bunch and froze the ones that weren’t cooked and eaten that day, 2 to a vacuum-sealed bag.
That means that this dinner took 7 minutes to prepare!
7 minutes = cooking the burgers on the grill
6 minutes = steaming the asparagus in the microwave
5 minutes = toasting buns in the toaster oven
2 minutes = putting our desired condiments on the toasted buns
How fantastic is that?
Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and brand new stay at home mom. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate on a budget, and keep a happy home. I breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
I love our FoodSaver. I never would have thought of it myself, but someone got it for us as a wedding present and I’m really glad they did! Those burgers look delicious, and asparagus is one of my favorite veggies.
