Exactly. I look forward to a decent meal, but have no interest in
prepping it. Granted, broiling or grilling a steak or chop isn't
complicated, but nothing beats a homemade favorite and not a dirty

found it practical with baked goods, too. The only leftover we do not
vac is soup. That gets put into Rubbermaid containers.
