As much as I appreciate that I don\u2019t have ice buildup and the need
\nto defrost my frost free freezer, I don\u2019t appreciate how frost free
\nfreezers can freezer burn the food inside. I tried just about every
\nfood storage freezer hack, including freezing homemade broth in Mason
\njars. I still ended up with freezer burned food and more often than
\nnot, the glass jar would crack or split open after awhile in the
\nfreezer.<\/p>\n

The only way I found
\nto prevent freezer burn is to preserve our food with a Food
\nSaver <\/b><\/span>vacuum
\nsealer <\/b><\/span>similar
\nto this one<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/a>It is especially helpful when it comes to organizing frozen food
\nsince I don\u2019t have a separate chest freezer.
\n(Disclosure: I am
\nincluding affiliate links for your convenience<\/i>.)<\/p>\n

I wondered can you
\nvacuum seal liquids and freeze them in Food Saver bags without making
\na mess?<\/p>\n

Yes. Yes you can.
\nHere\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

Vacuum sealing
\nsauces and liquids is so easy, I practically don\u2019t have to write a
\ntutorial for how to do it.<\/p>\n

But I will.\n<\/p>\n

\u2018cause I\u2019m a
\ngiver.<\/p>\n

You will need:<\/p>\n

Vacuum Sealer<\/b> – This tutorial focuses on a Foodsaver vacuum sealer because that is what I have. This technique will work with other brands that have similar features to the one in this tutorial.<\/p>\n

Vacuum bags<\/b> \u2013
\nDO NOT CHEAP OUT ON BAGS! I\u2019ve tried other brands of vacuum sealer
\nbags and they either won\u2019t hold a seal and the food eventually gets
\nfreezer burn or they won\u2019t seal at all. I\u2019ve never had that
\nproblem with Foodsaver vacuum sealer bags and while they cost a
\nlittle bit more, they are worth it in the long run. You can buy
\nFoodsaver vacuum sealer bags here<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n


\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Sauce, soup, broth,
\nliquidy casserole things, or whatever you want to vacuum seal and
\nfreeze.<\/b> Today I am vacuum sealing home grown roasted tomato sauce to
\npreserve in the freezer.<\/p>\n

Step by Step How to Vacuum Seal Liquids
\nTutorial<\/h2>\n

In this example I am freezing tomato sauce in one cup portions to
\nroughly equal the eight ounce tomato sauce cans we use most of the
\ntime.<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Cut and seal the bottom of the vacuum sealer bag to size as
\nneeded.<\/p>\n

2. <\/b>Pour the liquid or liquid item into the vacuum sealer bag being
\ncareful not to get the liquid on the sides of the top of the bag. A
\nsaucy top may keep the bag from sealing properly.<\/p>\n

3.<\/b> Put the bag into the Foodsaver and lock the lid.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n

Since spilling things is my superpower, I clean any sauce splashes
\nfrom the top of the bag that might prevent it from sealing
\ncompletely.
\n <\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a04. <\/b>Select the Moist<\/i> setting, then press the Vacuum and
\nSeal <\/i>button.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5.<\/b> Remove the sealed bag from vacuum sealer and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/div>\n

You don’t have to worry about the air bubble in the bag after it vacuum seals. It is there to allow the liquid to expand after it is frozen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/div>\n

Frozen!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I like put the tomato sauce bags laying flat in my freezer until
\nthe contents fully freezes so it is thin and takes up less space.<\/p>\n
