My in-laws just bought a larger deep freeze and said we could take their old one. I am trying to figure out the best way to use it.
We have a Costco membership and usually buy our meat and fish in bulk, then bag them up for dinner servings. My wife and I have been starting to meal prep on the weekends (mainly prep work of cutting veggies up) and have been bagging and freezing those as well.
We buy a decent amount of fast snacking food to heat up in the oven or air fry, and thats where I am getting confused.
Is it best to meal prep/store meat in a deep freeze, or should we keep all of that in the upright fridge/freezer and put frozen pizza, French fries, chicken chunks, etc in there?
Also if anyone has recommendations for a cheap vac seal machine that would be cool.
I can tell you from experience make sure that if the outlet you plug in to is GFCI protected have power loss alarm rigged up. Get a small generator for power outages. Nothing more frustrating than throwing away an entire chest of spoiled food.
Outlet is GFCI but will need to look into an alarm and generators. Thanks for the advice.
