Freeze Foods Before Vacuum Sealing

I like to purchase or prepare items in bulk and then use my vacuum sealer to either divide into smaller portions or just make them last longer in the freezer. I've found that bread tends to get frosty and stale if left in the original packaging. If you freeze the bread first and then put it in the vacuum bag and seal it, it doesn't squash the bread and it stays fresh and useable for months.

This also works for items (soup or entree's that include liquid) so they can be vacuum packed for storage.
