Excellent tutorial. To get rid of plastic, you can store these in GLASS JARS from all sorts of previously-purchased foods like peanut butter, salsa, tomato sauce, etc. Simply dry the peas, put in a single layer to freeze individually and then transfer frozen pods to the glass jars. They stack, too, if you frequently buy the same salsa or other types of glass jarred foods! ❤️
Because I'm only cooking for one, I need frozen vegetables to be be free-flowing out of the bag, so that I can portion out just what I need for one meal. So at the stage you were at with the drying cloth I spread green beans, sliced leeks or other freezable vegetables on a tray on top of a non-stick foil liner, put the tray in the freezer for four hours, and then bag them up.
@@TheCrunchyGinger Thanks! Since I'm here, how do you cook your sugar snaps? I don't like them too crunchy, so I parboil them in chicken stock for 3 minutes, drain, then stir-fry, adding a small dash of sesame oil and a tablespoon of oyster sauce at the end
That sounds delicious! I think my favorite way is to simply sauté them in butter or olive oil with some salt, pepper, and garlic. (Or add them to a stir fry of other yummy veggies like you!)
Like most frozen veggies, the texture won’t be the same as raw after freezing. I like to sauté them in a little butter/oil, or add them to a stir fry or pasta dish.
This video was a lifesaver! I'm definitely a visual learner and everything was written and driving me crazy 😂
Lol I know the feeling! Glad it helped
Thanks . My first time growing and I have huge first harvest today . From Frankfort Kentucky
How exciting! I just started harvesting mine this week, as well!

Yes! That works perfectly! Thanks for the tip! I especially like doing that method for berries so they don’t stick together.

I love your video, I did the same thing for sucking air out
Thanks for sharing
This is what I have to do today. Thank you for showing me how young lady! Very good
You’re most welcome!
I've been doing the straw vac-pack in a zip lock bag trick for ages...
Glad to see I'm not the only one...
Works like a charm! 😆
Love the DIY Vacuum Seal Trick! Nice, easy to follow, video.
😂 My hubby taught me that trick. Thanks so much for watching!
Good freezer info.
Great video, thanks a bunch!
Thank you!
Very helpful! Thanks!
What do you use this for? Can this be eaten raw again? Or is it for some stir fry?

Thankyou!!!!!!!

Get some Pyrex containers for freezing
Great suggestion! I also like using the silicone stasher bags in the freezer, but I don’t have very many of them yet.
