    Costco Pork Belly shelf life?

    My local Costco had $10 off of whole pork belly's so I picked up three of them. How long will they stay good when they are cryo-vac sealed? I've read the briskets can be aged 30 plus days when refrigerated. Is the same true for the pork belly's?

    Has anyone noticed a difference in vacuum sealer bags?

    I have been using "out of air" sealer bags. They claim the are 4 mil vs 3 mil for most brands. In looking on amazon today, I noticed I can get 100' rolls of 8" for about $6 less per roll. Just wondering if anyone has had bags they were not satisfied with or if they are all about the same.

    What's the typical wait time between seals?

    I just received a new vac sealer and when looking at the manual noticed it said to wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Is this normal? I have not idea what normal wait time is as I have never timed between seals

    Anyone ever wrapped a pork loin around the bacon?

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't think it would work. Did the bacon wrap instead and rooled black forest ham and swiss cheese inside. Is 145 the temp to shoot for?
