yeah I should...the last one I had broke...so yeah I need itThey will last a week. I freeze my Q all the time but did invest in a vacuum sealer.
I know I am late to this party with a reply, but get yourself a vac sealer and you will be all set.
Because I hate cleaning my grates, when I smoke, its a full weekends (2 days) worth of smoking.. Usually a couple pork shoulders, some brisket, wings, chicken breasts, ribs, etc etc. Once its cooked, I break it all down, measure out servings for my wife and I (usually about 12oz is the right spot), vac seal individual meals, label and throw in the freezer. When its time to eat, pull it out the night before, put in the fridge and by the time we get home from work, its thawed and ready to heat to eat. The package I opened last night was from April, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between fresh and it.
For most things, I just reheat in my toaster oven. The flavor is already there, it just needs temp to get it to preference. And if you are concerned about it drying out at all when reheating, I just add a little sauce (bbq- hot sauce, etc) to it and all is good.How do you reheat it ?
I usually just put them in a foil covered dish with a little water and put them in the oven at 250-300 until heated through, usually around 45 minutes.How do you reheat it ?
Sure. Vac seal and you are good for 8 months or so at least.I smoked 3 racks of Pork Ribs and I want to freeze the 2 by placing them in a ziplock bag and sticking them into a freezer.
Can they last a week?
I do not, no. Mostly because we are eating portion of what I cook, and the intentional left overs are what I freeze.If you know that you will be reheating them, do you pull them off early?
