Any sauces/soups etc should be chilled as quickly as possible anyways. I just fill my sink with ice water (good chance to empty ice maker in freezer) and drop the stock pot in. Once cold, portion into bags and seal. :)

Tony, just keep saving your change for a chamber sealer. VacMaster has a new Duo model that's both chamber and conventional suction. You could seal full slabs of ribs/brisket with that one.

Thanks guys...sorry it took me so long to get back to this.  I have now grilled a bunch of steaks and chops to eat on my Atkins Diet and vacuum packed them while still warm and juicy.  When I open and reheat them they almost taste like I've just finished grilling them - delicious.

Gene, have you tried reheating the unopened vacuum package in simmering water?

Absolutely! Works great.  Don't let it get to a rolling boil, or you might break the bag. ???
