When smoking meat, i usually cook large batches and vacuum seal the left overs. I use the quart or gallon sized bags, along with a manual pump to get the air out. Has worked great for me for years.
Recently (last week) pulled out a batch of Ribs (cooked and frozen for about a month), and when reheated, the ribs had an off-smell. I took a taste, and the taste was off as well, so wound up throwing out the entire batch.
Last night I took out a bag of pulled pork (that had been cooked and frozen about a year). Reheated in the crockpot. Off-smell and taste was not quite right. Thrown out again.
Trying to figure out what’s happening. Freezer is working fine, and the food was frozen, and packages still were under vacuum. Both meats were prepared and frozen at different times.
Any ideas on what could be happening? I’ve thrown out a lot of meat these last couple of weeks and would like to prevent this happening again.
Thanks!
