Wrap in saran wrap then vac seal has been my preferred method over the past few years. Before that I was doing saran wrap then freezer paper and it worked fine too, maybe just a little slower.
What brand chamber sealer do you have? I've been looking at them and the prices seem to be all over the place.I got a chamber sealer and it changed my life. The initial cost of the machine is tough to swallow but the cost of the bags being around 2-5 cents a piece make up for the cost quickly over vac bags. I have been using it for 4 years, let my dad and buddy use it and they both bought one themselves this past year. I have never had any freeze burn issues, never had any bags break in the freezer yet. I found some chops from the first deer I used it on 4 years ago this summer while clearing out the freezer and they tasted as good as if I shot it this year. Use it on fish and veggies as well as breads and other baked goods my wife makes and everything taste fresh when thawed. Neat how you can use it on bread and it doesn’t suck the air out of it. It has even taken over the majority of our caning tasks as we learned how to use it with liquids for soups and veggies. Lastly... for hunting trips I have been chamber sealing PBJs and sucks the oils right into the bread and tastes amazing.
my 2 cents if your in the market for an upgrade.

Warping meat in plastic wrap and then freezer paper will outlast any other method period. That said i use the vacuum sealer as I find it's much more convenient and i try to use everything in a single yearMeat will definitely keep longer when its vacuum sealed in plastic. If you aren't planning on keeping it frozen for very long, I don't think there would be much difference if it were wrapped in butcher paper. The worst thing about wrapping in butcher paper is that it isn't 100% sealed and the exposure causes the meat to dry out (freezer burn).
I agree. Have done this for the last few seasons with white tails and it’s worked great.Saran wrap and freezer paper.
For all the right reasons.
