How long can you keep pork that's vacuumed saved in the freezer?

    The official Federal Government guideline is that "The guidelines for freezer storage are for quality only. Frozen foods remain safe indefinitely."  I have found that vacuumed items last a loooong time.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Great info. I have been wondering this myself. I just got my vac sealer a few months ago.

    I just ate some vac sealed chopped beef (brisket with sauce) that was in my freezer for 6 months. It tasted just as good as the day I froze it. I find that the fattier (sp?) meat like brisket and pulled pork keep very well when vac sealed.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.
