Hey Beathog!
Freezing, that's a good idea. Freezing plus Foil, may be a winner.
If I'm going to bring the whole muffin tin along, I'm baking onsite and
don't need to freeze. Been there, baked that.
The main vacuum sealer brands seem to be Rival Seal-A-Meal and
FoodSaver. I have a FoodSaver and it has not failed yet.
