My NEW Vacuum Sealer and a FUN Dinner Idea!

[@christinacutlass1694]

I find sealing foods to be very rewarding… I’m a food geek!😃🥰. My husband would LOVE those potatoes, I’m going to surprise him! Thank you!

[@ValerieBarris-wr5mv]

I dont know about anyone else. I was exhausted by the time you finished preping the veggies. I had to lay down.

[@Englishroserebecca]

Kevin you are looking younger and younger with every video. It must be all the fresh vegetables from the garden.

[@AnonyMous-kd5iz]

👏👏👏

Loved the JAZZY music used in this video! Exhausting work and you do it cheerfully!

I can remember when I was little, my uncle's family was on a juice kick. Thry drank so much carrot juice that they turned orange!😂 Thanks for triggering that memory! 😁

LOL thanks for giving me a laugh.

[@ladyhawk6999]

I had my Food Saver sealer for 25 years; my husband And I got it as a wedding present because I am a hunter and gardener. I love it!

[@13soap13]

Been using my sealer for about a month now. I love it. Meat I would ordinarily forget about in the fridge, now gets sealed and stored in the freezer. Bought one pound of bulk Italian sausage. Divided into four parts and sealed each. When I want a bit of flavor to ground beef, etc., it is within reach. Buy an entire side of salmon from Costco. Cut into serving pieces and seal. Now I need a larger freezer ... LOL. Those carrots are gorgeous.

[@adriaschumann9641]

That's the idea I got from this! Buy things on sale, seal and freeze. I will look into this sealer. I think it would be a sensible purchase.

[@maxinejacobson4006]

That was a great job of work all in one day, but how much easier meal prep will be when you start to use them. It certainly is a worthwhile job.

[@oceanbrzzz]

I love my vacuum sealer, saves me from tossing things that used to get Freezer burn. Thank you for your quality channel, Kevin.

@@13soap13 Hello! We just purchased this sealer after seeing Kevin’s video last week. We’ve no experience using this product so any suggestions,feedback, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I really feel like this will cut down on wasting food. Thanks and have a great Sunday!🤗

Those loaded potatoes and the crackling fire were PERFECTO!

[@jeanmarie2847]

Love your show so much. I go to you whenever I am anxious. You and your beautiful home and garden calm me and I learn a new recipe or two! A top for sealing ‘wet’ foods - soups, sauces, etc. Freeze the food first (a few hours or so) then you can vacuum the frozen portion with success and no mess!

[@elizabetharruda2850]

Hello Kevin! I was in the Adirondack’s this past week and had a chance to visit Tierra Farms on my way back home to Medford. Lovely farm and I purchased some organic nuts and the coffee smelled amazing! Their heirloom tomatoes are very delicious! I picked up some granola as well. The drive was so nice and the mountain air ( we stayed on Schroon Lake) was invigorating and we slept so soundly. Lake George was fun, we did a narrated boat ride on the Mohican that was very informative. We found a hidden gem of a restaurant called Cafe Adirondack. The dinner we had was so good and I wished we had found it when we first arrived. I thought of you as we drove to the Hudson Valley. Your area is beautiful and I hope this finds you and your family safe and healthy. Always look forward to your videos!🤗💕🙏

[@bettybortell3745]

Loved that tip Kevin about wrapping your potato to bake . I just always wrapped it up and just threw it in the oven not even considering the out come. thanks a bunch.

[@Deonna-Draebish]

❤Kevin thank you for always making the day brighter when your episodes drop!!! Starting my days with you and a cup of Tierra Farm coffee or tea is so fun!

You are always teaching me something new..love the baked potato wrap method. Never heard of wrapping potatoes this way. . Thank you 🙏🏾❤️

[@MaryLuminary]

I didn't grow any carrots in my garden this year, but I did buy some pretty good organic carrots at the grocery store yesterday. I was looking for some vitamin A and carotene. Your carrots look absolutely beautiful! Amazing. I was thinking about making some carrot ginger soup. I like the idea of blanching and freezing. I don't have a nifty sealer like the one you've got, but can do something like that using a straw to take the air out of the bag. Not as perfect a seal, but okay. Fun to see Avery in the garden. She looks so happy and content. I think she "booped" the camera. Cute puppers. The Tex Mex baked potato sounds wonderful. Especially good idea for fall winter supper, when you can't think what to make. Think of all of the soups and stews you will make with the frozen vegetables. The table looks lovely as per usual, by the fireside. Kevin, I think I watched too much news and politics this week and made me feel a little down, but literally just from watching your video, the gray cloud is lifting. Thank you for the video. You have such a calming and reassuring effect on your viewers.Take care and have a great weekend. See you in the next video.♥️🐕💐🥕🥬🍅🥔🧀🫑🌶️🧅🍷

[@heatheraho224]

I grew pelted carrots for the first time - they grew beautifully in Thunder Bay Ontario and no thinning was required. Really appreciated this video as have now picked all my carrots and yellow beans and need to start blanching which I have never done before. I have a vacuum sealer so hope that will prevent freezer burns in the months to come.

[@loriella6250]

Awwww, you thanked your garden. ❤

[@dinab6242]

Hello Kevin. You have wonderful vegetables. You can grate the carrots on a large grater. Store in the freezer. I wish you all the best

[@lisayerace6117]

Good tip about rolling the foil on the bottom of the potato so it doesn’t burn! I never knew that! Nice bounty, Kevin!

[@ladyw605]

What a beautiful as well as bountiful harvest of carrots, celery and green beans. I once owned a vacuum sealer but never really cared for it. I have very limited counter and storage space in my kitchen which made it very difficult to use and store. I donated it to Goodwill. I know you are happy the weather has become cool enough for a nice fire!!! Baked potatoes are certainly versatile and can be made into a meal all by themselves with the addition of just a few delicious toppings!!! Thanks so much for sharing your vegetable harvest and showing us how you preserved them. Additional thanks for sharing your fireside early dinner!!! 💝💝💝

Love your videos, Kevin - so relaxing and a pleasure to watch - and listen to you. You are so calming! Love the variety in your shows. You are such a perfectionist and it shows in your cooking, your house, your gardens, your entertaining. Don't know how you do it all and make it look easy, which I know it is not! I love the precision with which you present your recipes - everything you say is so clear and perfectly enunciated. Mr. Fox is a lucky man!

[@blueRosesforme]

🔥Fireplace, love to hear the wood crackling and the smell, but in Montreal, we are no longer permitted to use our fireplace. It was brilliant of you to clean the carrots on a mesh top table and stones below to catch the water!! Happy to see your fun dinner idea. Have a great weekend!

[@StarlaPatton]

So much to learn and do as the season changes!! How wonderful to do all the preserving with you. The potatoes and salad made me extremely hungry ..they looked so filling.

[@PJ-zb6gi]

Thank you so much for that foil folding trick, Kevin. I’ve never heard of that before. And it makes so much sense. As always thank you for inviting us into your life. You’re an inspiration and joy.

Such a lot of work but totally worthwhile-as you pointed out. Judging from how long it took the vacuum sealer to arrive you’d better order more bags now! 😂 Good to see sweet Avery. ❤ P.S. Love the new music.

[@paulahawkins3786]

That's a great way to wrap the potatoes with foil - I will definitely do this from now on - thanks! BTW - if you freeze your empty butter wrappers, you can let them thaw a couple of minutes, then use them to rub the potatoes with butter - less mess and it uses all the butter!

[@carolavant3778]

Awesome garden harvest! Honestly, I prefer the taste and texture of home canned green beans and carrots to frozen, but I do freeze peppers, celery and onions. If I don't use up the frozen veggies, or if they last into hurricane season, I then dehydrate them for even longer storage. The Tex--Mex potatoes look delicious!

Vacuum sealers are a game changer. We got ours at a thrift store many years ago. We have had to change the gasket a few times, but being able to freeze various items for long-term storage saves time and money.

[@Niamh07421]

we use our vacuum sealer all the time- we buy in bulk and also grow many food items- ours is industrial one- but the one you bought is perfect for normal home use- you will love it also have that little chopper thing- I use for onions- saves my eyes (if you put tomatoes in the freezer till firm- you can chop it also) the tip for wrapping the potatoes make so much sense= we always twisted the ends- will try your way- even on grill (we put right on the coals

🥕Kevin, your carrots, (tomato's🍅) and celery look incredible! 🌞 I watch a few gardening shows and most gardeners are excited if they get carrots at all, let alone that size! Your climate this summer was really fantastic for tomato's too! You gave me a terrific idea with the texmex potato's! I am often looking for a quick supper when running late, and this is perfect. Love the sealer, but I am trying my best to avoid any plastic in my home....I do love your jar sealer too which is more environmentally friendly. You have given me so many ideas!

[@melanieanddavideccles895]

Hi again Kevin, I just wanted to let you know that I plant a carrot variety called Envy because it stores well ( I don't care for frozen carrots ). The best way for me to store my carrots is to leave them in the garden, covered by a thick layer of straw. They last very well this way, even if a few get nibbled by our little neighbors. I live in the very northwest corner of PA and the ground doesn't freeze solid until February. As long as I remember to dig them in January all's well. After that they're good for another month or so in the fridge. Blessings!

[@KathrynMoir-jy8zc]

I use the tops of carrots as greenery in the vase with sweetpeas.

Looking forward to taking advantage of sales or market trips. Someday, I hope to see the rest of your kitchen, the island, the lighting, and the rest we don't see.
