Full rack freezer bags

How many and how often?

I don't like freezer bags for long term (more than a month) the quality of the food suffers because air/humidity gets in.

You might want to think quantity, ordering from a restaurant supply place.

How did you price out the 1.21 per rack cost, that seems high.

Walmart.com sells a bundle of:
2 8"x20' rolls
3 11"x16' rolls
total of 88 linear feet
$39.97 (shipping not incl)
works out to .454 per foot

That's probably the best bang for the buck

Max,

I buy a similar Foodsaver bag pack from SAM'S Club and it is usually about $10 a box cheaper than what you list and it includes some large size pre-made bags. I'm with Smokin on freezer bags. Vac-packing is the best way. I freeze leftover whole loin-backs in the 8" size. My Foodsaver is getting near end of life, I have almost worn it out over the years. I would REALLY like a chamber Vacuum system, but I can not justify the cost... YET.



The BEST way that I have found to reheat (for home use) is after thawing is to place sealed vac bag in the sink with VERY hot water from the faucet with a few water changes and gently reheat. Works well for 1 or 2 racks.

Oooops. It sould be 61 cents for an 11x20 freezer bag. There are two rolls per box and I figured 1.
I am seeing if local restaurants would purchase my ribs for resale.
I have a FS but never tried sealing ribs. Thought the bones would poke holes in the bag. Your pic's show difference.
The freezer bags seemed to work for half racks but then again they weren't in the freezer over 3 weeks.
Thanks for the help.

If you're going to do this for resale, freeze bags won't cut it, not really professional and the quality will suffer.

Like Mike above, the food savers work fine for ribs and the quality on the reheat will be better. You want return customers, so go with the FS.

I use the 8" x 24" vacuum sealer bags from Cabela's. They come 100 to a box for $49.99. Every so often, I will have a bone that pokes a hole but it is rare.
