I do this too :D:D:D Or I mark them, example: "hamburger" and then remove the meat right away while it is still frozen, and immediately put the bags back in the freezer. No need to wash them then. I pull them out, stuff them again and right back in... They are only out for a couple of minutes so no bacteria worries :wink: I wrap the meat first in saran, as sometimes it is in there for a few months. :D:D:D
