Brewman 1,190 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 1 litre juice cartons with the top cut off, will hold cut up meat perfectly once it's in a bag. Handy blocks and don't stick. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whiteracer 258 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ha ha Least I ain't the only one ........ I did that with tripe and had to ' hammer and chisel' the b*stard to separate it!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,411 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 As said plastic boxes even a heavier grade of poly bag does the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonah. 775 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Wrap the individual bags in a sheet of newspaper, then place a sheet of cardboard between layers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Don't know if I reading this right, Joe? I get two carrier bags of lambs ribs a week. I chuck them in the freezer. What I then do is, I take a bag out, hold it above my head, and drop it on the (concrete) floor. One or three episodes of that and I generally have what I need. F**kers separate alright. I also have pairs of chickens tits, for myself. These my butcher bags, by the pair. " The One " may have a point there though: Mine are bagged in thin, white plastic bags. The ones I buy off him, by the roll, for picking up my Dogs shit in. And, for some reason I've since forgotten, I ding them into the freezer basket separately. I don't just pile them up. Could well be because, even in their bags, they stuck together ....? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twymanc 135 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 No pal you ain't the only one we just had a butchers that have been around for years but only just opened to public but there prices are unbeatable and in bulk and I learnt the hard way as we'll so using some 6mm ply and some glue and ACky I made some makeshift compartments seperating all the meat into sections that would cover a family meal tab Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have to start with all the bags round the outside as those in the middle will still be solid 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
