this is definitely the way. id remove the buns to thaw tho. the game is just mostly avoiding freezer burn.

both of you make me lose hope in humanity, something I didn't think could be even further lost this late into the day.

My problem isn't that you did this. It's that you thought this was enough. Like that's it?

hmm... tbh I don't want to even ask you to try anything I had in mind because I don't know how safe any of this is, and given your obvious display of insanity I'm not gonna risk suggesting anything

..........but, hypothetically, what would happen if you did fried chicken o.o

the breading would end up soggy and gross

sous vide until its at a nice temp, then throw it in air fryer for a few minutes, might work :marseyscientist:

Maybe, but if you're already dirtying the air fryer there's not really any reason to sous vide it first

It's fine if you reheat in the oven.

But if you're doing all that you might as well just buy some frozen nuggies :marseyshrug:

Yeah but the question was about using this method

i'll probably give it a try if i get some fried chicken (and theres left overs). i'm experimenting with anything i can think of that theres left overs of. so far i have:

  • cooked steak (normie tier)

  • 2 sushi rolls (sus)

  • curry and rice [sep sealed bags] (sealing rice is sus)

i'll post trip reports for every experiment :marseyscientist:

Curious, do u fill it with co2 prior to sealing?

no, i only have a normie restaurant tier chamber sealer. something like that you need a 10k+ cabinet sealer afaik

That's too much work, just pop that puppy in the toaster for 30-60 seconds to liven it up a bit

you gotta seal the buns for long storage. i bought this burger like a week ago. and its sittin in the freezer so its gotta thaw out.

they'd get all stale unless you were actively checking to see when they fully thawed, though. Condensation might also ruin them

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

they wont take long enough to thaw where they'll get stale, it'd probably only take like an hour or so room temp. cover with a towel and that'll probably be fine for condensation.

i'll try next time and we'll see
