My food saver is on its last leg, so would it be in my best interest to throw down for a LEM vac sealer?
I would just like a nice unit and the LEM 1253 max vac 500 is what I am considering. It’s a considerable chunk of cheddar on a piece of equipment but I know it will be used.
Anyone have...
So this is my third or 4th run of garlic confit, 2nd on the smoker. I don’t remember getting sediment in the oil last time I used the smoker. This time I used a different olive oil and was not happy with the result at all. But back to the question:

Question #1
Anyone brine their piggie ribs? I read somewhere about a coffee brine on ribs and I can’t get it out of my head....might do that if you guys say a brine will not be a waste of time. I have not done ribs much, my CC so small it’s hard to do several racks at a time.
Question #2...
So I’m confused about what cook goes first....or does it even matter?? I was thinking of doing a brisket for Super Bowl Sunday and was playing with the idea of smoking/SV’ing for the 1st time.
So which do I do first, Smoke or SV? Most I have come across seem to smoke 1st so it seems. But I’m...

So what are the do’s / don‘t with seasoning protein in vac bag prior to freezing?

I went to Ace for SS ball bearings and all they had were chrome plated ones. I have read that the chrome ones will pit/rust and go to pot if used just a few times, if you have used any what has your experience been?
Or is a rack the best way to go(for the big container)?In my...
