I really like this method of storing meat. I usually go ahead and brown a large batch of ground meat (beef or turkey) when I bring it home and then freeze it in individual sizes so that it is ready to pop into soup or whatever when I need it but I still think this flat storage would work well for this also.

A quick question. What kind of scale do you use? I have a large scale with a dial on the front and needle that is very accurate but it takes a lot of counter space and I cannot zero with a plate or bowl on it. I am looking for a new one and thought yours might be what I am looking for.

Thanks for the great site!

Yeah! I’ve got to tell you I was filled with pride this morning as I opened my freezer and saw the 8 flat frozen packages that I created yesterday with the 5.5 lbs of 93% lean ground beef I bought. I felt like I was so organized. And I left out 12 oz and your Turkey meatball recipe for my husband to make last night…and he did it! Mmmmm…they were delicious. Your website is really helping me and my family eat healthier without all the fuss. Thank you.

Every now and then, yes I have had them leaked. But mostly when they were banged up a bit from being moved and such. When I make fresh stock when I also freeze it like that as well.

Thank you for doing a video on this. I wish I would have watched it before I went to Costco and bought 8 packages of ground turkey that have taken over my freezer.

Question about freezing liquids like this (your breast milk), did you ever have problems with the bags leaking?

Thanks again for always taking the time to show us great tricks and recipes!
