Hestia - We have a chest freezer and forgot we wanted to get a vacuum sealer! Cooked food lasts for ages once they're in there, am I right? If I got one, I could start now?
You certainly could start now As long as it's properly stored (and with vac sealing that means getting as much air out of the bags as possible) and frozen in a deep freeze, meals can last a very long time. I always dated the bags too to remember what to use first. Hope that helps!
