Jerky in a clip seal box, they can smell it

Has to be the big one, the footprint is the same, but the quantity double, I use mine for drying brass more than anything else, but when I do food stuff 5 trays wouldn't be enough.

Recent new kitchen, driving me mad. I have one rotator cuff injury and one arthritic shoulder, and between them my arms are useless. Base unit cupboards are big and deep, going back a long way right into the corners. Currently having to sit on the floor and grubble around in a load of tins until I ...

I managed to get a foodsaver from Lakeland in a sale but the cost of bags from them is nuts. I did manage to pick up the jar sealing attachments for both the regular and widemouth jars for literally a pittance compared to what they're selling for now when I last looked the price had gone up substan...

Totally agree. But , you know what? To quote the great Baz Lurman, “ The real problems are the ones that blindside you on a lazy Tuesday afternoon.” In my case , my dear wife’s cancer.

You must also remember that food doesn’t last forever! Golden rule with food storage: FIFO - First In,First Out. Rotate,rotate,rotate. Our local Aldi isn't that hot on rotating stock, I've noticed it's not unusual to be bringing home stuff with earlier BBDs than the previous week or two :roll: Also...

I suppose its a bit saddening that we're all so accepting of what we're going to get, whatever it is. Its a pity we can't run a poll on here to see what we all thinks how it will pan out. It's going to be shite, what flavour is not exactly clear :roll: although as ever those at the bottom of the he...
