Jars to Store Meals

Many people have asked how I store my meals when we aren't going to eat them right away.  Here is a picture of a few meals in jars I made this week for Hubby to take to work.  (Recipes still being tested and worked on.)

This week, I used 1/2 pint (8 oz) jars.

Simple label for home-use. More fancy label when selling.

I also use bags that can be sealed with my Seal-a-Meal. More on that another time.




Storing Meals in Bags

There are a lot of different kinds of bags you can seal your meal in IF you plan to not eat it any time soon.
  • Seal-a-Meal or other vacuum-sealing machine and bags
  • Mylar
  • Mylar on one side with food-grade plastic on the other
  • Metallic Foil with Ziplock
This is the small bag that I like. Clear on one side, foil on the other. Can either print a big label for the back, or print a piece of paper to staple over the top. It holds breakfast oatmeal, sides, drinks, etc. (There are larger sizes for entrees). It can be sealed with my Seal-a-Meal.

Here is the description for this bag on Amazon ( 100 PCS Silver/clear Metallic Foil Stand up Ziplock Bag 10cm x 15cm 3.94'' x 5.91'' by QQ Studio Group ).
