I love these for freezing soups or other individual portions of recipes to eat for lunch or days I’m alone in the evening and don’t feel like cooking for one. I like that they're freezer-safe, oven-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe.
Stainless Steel Vacuum Sealer

Great when you want to store something long term and need extra protection against freezer burn. Vacuum sealers allow you to remove so much more air, which is the primary cause of freezer burn.
Food Vacuum Seal Roll Dispenser with Cutter

This is my go-to for use with the vacuum sealer. It is a large roll which makes it really economical. The box is sturdy for storage and it has a cutter tool attached on top - great that you can cut custom sized portions depending on what you're freezing. The plastic is thick to guard against freezer burn and is BPA-free.
