food preservation

Mick - six months - I think 30 days at between 4° and 6°C maximum

Mick, Cryovaced meat will only last a few hours, out of fridge, less in extreme temperatures. Should be really tender just before it goes "off". Marinading in vinegar will take away taste before cooking, if you think the meat may be a bit suss. Happy new year...

I have never seen one in action, but have seen the Danoz advert. If it was in a real shop that I could see it work and try it, I would buy one if I liked it. With the reputation of Danoz I would not touch it. I buy a substantial amount online, but Danoz is bottom of the barrel stuff.

I have only had it for two months. . Havent tried to purchase bags from anyone other than Danoz. They tell you bags are reusable, which is OK when at home, dont think I would be bothered when out in the desert. But it works extremely well, as I said I believe it removes more air than some butchers machines do. We have used it for the Christmas ham etc. and played with lots of other things in the past month. Comes with a bottle stopper which we will start using for wine etc. Cant complain at all so far.Very easy to use.

thanks very much for the advise . please expand -what can it do and how does it do it regards peter

Have you had it long?

Can you get replacement bags anywhere else?

cheers,

Stuart
