Hubby has been asking me to bulk shop for meats and freeze them, as I am starting to cook more nowadays. He feels it's a waste of time to go to the market every day, when I should go once or twice a week, to make more efficient use of my time.
Point taken.
Today we went to the wet market and bought 3 kg of pork, 6 chicken legs (drum + thigh), a dollar worth of chicken gizzards and half a kilo of fresh prawns. As I was preparing to pack the food... I was thinking how great if I had a lot of freezermate, which isn't really that practical monetary wise. Suddenly I recalled a life hack I saw on FB some time ago - to vacuum seal without using a vacuum sealer.
Must try it out. So armed with a container of water and ziploc bags, I tried out the life hack and ZOMG it worked... not exactly 100% vacuum sealed like with a machine but good enough. A cheaper and yet efficient method.
Put the meat in the ziploc bag, close till there is a 1"-2" gap. Place the ziploc bag into the container of water, and close properly. Make sure water doesn't get into the bag.

All packed and ready to be frozen. :)
I think many people in the kitchen need a professional food vacuum sealer, because it will make your food stay fresh, so your body more healthy
