We butcher chickens every other year and seal the parts in bags and that sucks to go to the freezer and find the bag has broken open.
If I was smart enough to add the link I would but go to cabelas and check them out. It is sold under there name.

I have seen these at Cabelas and wondered if they were any good. Very nice looking units.

Can stir around the filet in mustard, then corn meal it, then flash freeze it. Once frozen individually on cookie sheet, put into freezer bag,seal it, then put back in the freezer. Once done like that, you never have to thaw them. Just take out of the freezer the amount of filets you want, and then throw em in the grease....still frozen. They come out beautiful.

I do the mustard on catfish just white cotn meal salt pepper for crappie

Press mine with a towel bafore sealing to get water out. No longer have a problem.

I prefreeze mine but I need a new machine now
