Hey Pat,

Are Jars outta the question? I've vaccu-jarred my chili and corn chowder in
wide mouth half pint jars and stick em in the freezer. Works great! I take
em straight from the freezer into the nuker and heat em up slowly. A minute
under the waves then a rest for a minute or so... it ain't rocket science, I
just don't want to heat it up too quickly (I cherish my jars). I've done a
jerky marinade in a bag, but some liquid made it into the liquid trap. Not
a lot, but enough to make me think twice about doing it again. Jerky came
out great, btw.
