I'm keeping the meat out till I use it. I'm going to freeze it in quart bags. Then if I want a meat sauce I'll just brown the meat and add to the sauce.

What are the details on that skillet shelf?

Why freeze vs can? To us it became obvious why we can most things now. Meat and most whole fruits and veggies go in the freezer. Anything non meat that processed is canned. Wife steam bath cans and I water bath can. Both are easy.

Also dont have to wait for it to unthaw to use.
We do freeze short term stuff like basil or fruits or veggies that we are planning to can but dont have enough to justify running a batch. Usually early season stuff.

I was out of jars! As to the thaw time. Each bag is 2 cups. Throw it in the sauce pan an it goes quickly.

we pull stuff out in the am for dinner, if not we toss it in cold water and it will defrost quickly.
