I use a vacuum sealer also....I even vacuum seal bulk food items I buy at the grocery stores, and left overs.
Sealing is great for foods that are not so sticky....like squash or okra. I try to layer the squash and do what I can with the okra. I coat them with a flour mixture and then cornmeal to keep squash or okra from sticking to each other, seal them, and freeze. When it's time to cook, I just cut all 4 sides, left off the top and then lower the frozen squash or okra in the deep fryer....haven't perfected it but it's still good and quick. If I can get the squash or okra in the fryer before they start to defrost then I'm doing really good. :lol2:
I've sealed creamed corn, corn on th cob, off the cob with butter, sprouts, potatoes, and then I boil in the bag. needless to say, I don't have much room in the freezers so I don't know where I'm going to put this year's stuff. I'll figure it out. ;-)
