[Sca-cooks] medieval boil-in bag meals

[SCABeathog]

Hi, Selene! ::waves::

To bag pasties (and other similar fragile items), I freeze them a bit first,
to firm them up.  I then can  _carefully_ proceed with the vacuum-suck
process.  Works great for me!  I have BAD, bad luck with conventional zipper
bags.

What completely failed in seal-bags was hand-held pies.  I tried to bag
up Cornish pasties for war once and the vacuum-suck process broke up the
crusts severely.  Next time, I go with conventional zipper bags and
store them on crushed ice, gently.
