Processing Supply Run from Anchorage Alaska Costco into freezer 

Chest freezers are extremely cheap and efficient. Many people complain they are hard to find things in, but if you set up bins and have categories for things, a chest freezer can be easy to navigate and rotate stock. Another benefit is when closed a chest freezer becomes a work bench.

Just a suggestion: Have u ever though about getting a Food saver vacuum sealer with the bags. That is what I started using because I was ruin my meat with the freezer bags..they would get frost on it and ruin it..the vacuum seal will take out all the air and the meat last longer. Just a tip.🙂

Girl, You so organized. I wanna be like you when I grow up....Lol. I'm 70 years old but act like I'm 40ish..

OML, You amaze me Jessica, forgive my previous comment, I had no idea why it was so important to store so much food, but I totally get it now. I am amazed at your talents, seems like you can do virtually everything, You are for sure a blessing.

Hi from London, UK 👋 Thank you so much for this video, I found it so helpful, with other comments as well. I am getting a chest freezer and plan to make a stock up. Looking forward to more helpful videos thanks x

I have NEVER thought about REourposing an entire ham! EXCELLENT IDEA! LUCRETIA

Your freezer looks awesome!

I ❤️ to watch huge hauls!

Thanks for the video! We have three chest freezers and I go through them annually to inventory and reorganize. This year I started keeping a dry erase board by the freezers to keep track of in/out inventory. We’ll see how long that lasts. 😂

Great video👍 I would suggest you roll Corner to corner when you do freezer meat as you use less wrap and it keeps the most air out. Also Costco sells butcher paper rolls which will keep meat fresh for 2 years frozen and then you just need masking tape to seal the packages . Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos!

we do our burger flat .. it stacks better and can thaw quick .

I take ground beef and make patties, meatloaf, stuffing for peppers etc. Other foods do same thing.

Freezer looks great I love a chest freezer!🤗

I just want to tell you that you are AMAZING! I am enjoying watching your video's and life experiences. That was a lot of work, but your persistence paid off well! Hugs and blessings, sweet one!

Looks good, Jessica 😊

I used to put meat in a ziplock freezer bag then wrap in Reynolds Freezer Paper. I flattened it out, let out all the air, wrapped in the freezer paper like a present with blue painters tape. (It’s cheaper than freezer tape) You can write on freezer paper where you can’t with parchment and it alleviates expensive aluminum foil. I found a local processor to buy from so I don’t have to do that processor anymore but I’ve used meat that has been in the freezer for 2 years with absolutely no freezer burn.

I just have top fridge freezer in my little apartment so I can all my meats. I don't have room for even a 5 cubic foot freezer. I can in half pints for just me and pints and quarts for family. I've canned ground beef, beef roast, stew meat, meat balls, pork roast, ground sausage, sausage links including smoked sausage and hotdogs, and chicken. Also homemade soups, stews and pasta sauce. And some veggies.

To save space I've always put ground beef in ziplock bags and then get them as flat as possible. They stack up nice and defrosting is easy too. Am really enjoying this chanel.

I did not know about not using the jars to can with after they have been in the freezer! Thank goodness I haven't done that so far. Love your freezer organization. Now I need to go do that to mine. It's just me, so it won't be that hard. LOL!

Jessica, you are such a good wife and mom, taking care of your family 😊

Great Ideas.

Excellent ! Can’t wait till you get Food Saver to seal your meats, veggies or whatever ! 👏👏👏👍👍😍

Another great video!

You need to have the boys to cut you a nice board to go over your stove top to make it a nice work station for you . Where no food can fall into the fire area. All level.

If you ever have to replace your freeze replace it with a stand up freezer. The vertical space gives you so much more room. You never forget about anything and you don’t have to remove things just to get to something

Wow

I use my Food Saver for everything. I wore my first one out and am on the second one in about 30 years.

Freezer Max storage. Idon’t know how much shipping is for you or if you could get things shipped all together, or if someone could bring it when visiting, but have you ever seen or heard of the Freezer Max? There’s nothing like it for freezer organization if you have a chest type deep freeze. Your freezer is nice an organized. But you might like to look at it.

I found you today and I'm amazed..I want your life..love it

Also consider swapping those deep freezers for stand up? I have a stand up freezer now and I am able to fit all my butter in the door and 6 baskets (2 each shelf) plus I can fit (2) 5 lb bags of flour in between each basket on each shelf. I haven’t wasted any food since we did this. I would like to get a deep freezer snd just fill with bags of flour lol

I just started watching your Videos and I have Enjoyed Everything., Thanks For Sharing 9-11-2022👍🏽👍🏽😊😊

I would use vacuum seal or freezer bags for ground beef you can freeze flat and save room! Did you do this same day as Costco? Lol I need a nap after those trips for me.

Love your videos I like to watch learn for to store food I heard you can pressure can fish 120mins

Interesting way to wrap the burger, we use Glad wrap then Freezer paper we found that meat lasts longer wrapped in Glad. Burger is on sale this week 93% for 3.97 a lb @Fred Meyers same for the pot roast. Love your way of cutting the ham up and freezing I always cooked the whole ham then freeze in pineapple juice but I love your way. Ham is on sale this week for .99 a lb with no limits at Fred Meyers The pork loin is cheaper to cut your self agreed on that. The Salmon start returning in May. Sockeye around Father's Day in Chitna. Leave enough room for the fish coming, Halibut too.

Great video. I love pulled pork, one of my fave things. Do you ever make Mississippi Pot Roast. Love that too. I use the beef chuck roasts from Costco for that cheers 🌷🇨🇦.

Freezer paper better than foil u can write the date and what it is on paper

you do a Really good job

Have you ever diced the ham before freezing? It's convenient to have on hand for a quick meal of scrambled eggs and ham, ham and cheese omelet's, escalloped potatoes and ham, etc.? Just an idea.

Have you tried those reusable bags that are like a collapsible box in your chest freezer. If you use them they are easier to pull in and out and easier to organize freezer

I was watching the ham cutting and thinking about how some church's barbecue place like interstellar barbecue might want some similar products. Then I'm like the church's barbecue restaurant that's a good business to fund how did church's chicken get its name?

Is this something that you would now use your chamber vacuum sealer for? Packaging all the meats? Or is there a reason to use the parchment and foil method?

I had no idea you could freeze milk. Who knew?! 😁

Do you not get frostbitten food in the freezer from leaving so much air in the packages? It's happened to me several times. I finally bought a vacuum sealer. It's saved me a lot of money.

Where did you find those crates that your chicken is in?? We need to get our freezer better organized, and those would be great.

QUESTION: WHY use your wrap method od parchment/foil, instead of...FREEZER bag? Have a blessed day. LUCRETIA

Does butcher paper cost more than foil and parchment paper? Unless you're using HD foil that thin stuff does nothing. Also leave your cereals in the bag they will stay fresher longer in the original packaging. My bud works for Malt o Meal cereald division he told me that.

You ever use vacuum seal for your freezer stuff?

So you won't get freezer burn if you use parchment paper Rolled in foil.

Enjoy your videos! I've never seen anyone freeze milk! Does it change the taste?

Can I ask why you use freezer bags as opposed to seal a meal type bags?

So you can freeze yeast.

Why didn't I see the family do this on the show 7th heaven?

Instead of wrapping them up in all that how come you don't vacuum seal them in bags? I am just asking to learn

❤🙏

How long does all that meat last for your family?

Why aren't you using butcher paper when packing that much meat? A roll is only about fifty dollars and one roll is enough for a whole cow or pig. ( Or a moose) it prevents freezer burn and it's more professional. Also you can use different color markers on it to tell you what kind of meat is in it. Like red for beef, blue for fish, pink for pork, yellow for bird of any kind, green for veggies and purple for all fruit. Also the flatter you shape your ground meat the easier to stack and less time to thaw for dinner. Yes I grew up with two double bed size freezers. We put half a cow into one every 6months like clockwork. And also bought bread from a bakery monthly.( Dad had to take his lunch , job was in the country) we also froze whole corn on the cob and ate it thru Easter. I encourage you to have a garden next year. Get your canning supplies NOW. also you will need Non idioize salt!

that ham is cook

freezer burn...meeat needs to be sealed in plastic.
