For those of you that trim your meat prior to arriving at the competition, what do you use to re-wrap your ribs, chicken, etc.?
Thanks.

those big ziplock bags, 2 1/2 gallon (I believe) bags does a great job, so does foodsaver bags. I have heard that you can use unscented kitchen trash bags, but I wouldn't.

food saver, gotta vacuum seal it.
For chicken we use 2.5 gallon Zip Loc bags. For ribs I have been foodsavering them.
Brisket and Pork are not pre trimmed under our process, and arrive in the cryovacs.

I've been using the 2 1/2 gallon zip bags and then put them inside bigger trash bags (unscented) just in case.

We wrap everything tightly in plastic wrap with the exception of chicken.

Chicken I trim and then put in Foodsaver bags to freeze. Ribs, brisket and pork are trimmed a day or two before comp and put in the jumbo 2 gallon zip lock bags. I use frozen gel packs to keep cold so no worry about thawed water coming in contact with the meat.

Pan liners work great for the big meats, especially brisket. Ever try to get a packer inside a 2 1/2 gallon Ziplock? It WILL fit, but it aint pretty.
Here's a link for Pan Liners, these have been a God-send!
