Thu Aug 25 09:50:05 -0700 2005 0 tracy 1 1481878 with large enough hunks of meat, i've cut off the outer portions with ok results (need a sharp knife & steady hand, helps if it's still partially frozen). it tends to be a little drier and less flavorful, but nothing a good pan sauce won't remedy. i hate to waste food, especially expensive cuts of meat.

No freezer burn - ever. :) Thu Aug 25 11:13:49 -0700 2005 1481874 0 cbauer 1 1482044 No. Throw it away. Freezer burn is oxidation. Oxygen combines with the molecules in the surface of the food. This is just my opinion, but I do not think it is healthy for you to eat, not to mention it won't taste good at all.

If money isn't too tight, get the "pro" unit which is heavier duty, easier to clean, has built-in storage for the bag roll material and is less prone to move around the corner. Only downside is that the bags are costly (they are multi-layer and amazingly tough), but they can be washed in the dishwasher and re-used. However you can also vacuum save and freeze any appropriate material in regular Mason jars, which are very cheap. You can sometimes get a deal on the FoodSaver bag material at Costco.
