How do you seal cooked meat that has juice in it?

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="7664021">
Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us. To seal meat with juices using a FoodSaver vacuum sealer, follow these steps to prevent leaks: 1. Pre-Freeze the Meat (Best Method): Place the meat in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to slightly harden the juices. Once slightly firm, place it inside a vacuum-seal bag and proceed with sealing. 2. Use a Paper Towel Barrier: Fold a paper towel and place it inside the bag, near the sealing edge (but not in the seal). This will absorb excess juices and prevent leaks. 3. Use the &quot;Moist&quot; Setting: If your FoodSaver has a &quot;Moist&quot; mode, use it for better sealing. This adjusts suction strength to prevent pulling too much liquid. If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Foodsaver&reg; Consumer Care
