I absolutely love my FoodSaver! If I make a big batch of Terrine de Campagne it has to be portioned, vacuum sealed and frozen. I can have a fresh terrine ready to go for appetizers and entertaining for literally a year or more once it has been sealed. Their site shows 2-3 years safe storage time for beef and poultry. My husband occasionally likes to buy a whole beef fillet and cuts his own steaks for freezing too!
