Collected Thoughts

Does anyone have one of those Food Saver deals? I just got one and the instructions and video that came with it weren't as helpful as I could wish for.

Like, they talk about using it to save leftovers, in the infomercials (and maybe on the shopping network) they show leftovers on a plate, like a frozen dinner. So I tried that. First, I shouldn't have used a dish so wet (it was kind of a casserole thing) or maybe I should have frozen it first. But I couldn't tell what kind of plates were being used, I thought it looked like regular plastic plates, but the one I used warped quite badly.

I looked on line but I couldnt' seem to find any hints or tips. Well, one site that wanted me to pay for hints.

So, should I buy some cheap acrylic plates and use those? I assume those are microwavable.

I wanted the Food Saver for the saving part. Too much stuff I end up buying spoils because I can't eat it fast enough.

But also, I'm trying really hard to take lunch to work. I wanted to try cooking on the weekends and making enough for lunch for the whole week.
