The first of many to follow

Mike,
Congrats on your first attempt – not bad at all! Like anything you’ll get better the more you do it. You might keep in mind the panty hose trick which greatly helps getting the air out of the bag – especially if you are doing the sealing by yourself. I’m not sure that in one day the meat has browned as much as the redness in the blood has started to darken. Looks like you’re off to a good start!
