Or really, what keeps longer. Uncooked vac sealed frozen meat? Or cooked vac sealed frozen meat?

    Vac sealed frozen will keep longer due to the elimination of free air. I usually go 2x longer than recommended with regular stuff. Vac sealed 4-5x longer.

    Recommended storage time for uncooked is longer than for cooked. The FDA says "Because freezing 0° F (-18° C) keeps food safe indefinitely, the following recommended storage times are for quality only."  My experience is that things keep well for a long time in vacuum sealed storage bags.

    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.
