Fridge or coolbox?

I’ve spent a bloody fortune on bits for the lorry this week, it has a factory fridge, but it’s not as big as the one in my Volvo was, so I’ll have to pack carefully and stock up more often.

I needed a new microwave as the cupboard it fits in wasn’t big enough for my old one and a new inverter to power it, I looked at those pure sine wave jobbies, but could only find them at 1000w and my Starbucks espresso machine needs 1450, so I got a 3000w modified sine wave one on sale for less than the price of the 1500w versions. Of course it needed new cables and an inline fuse from the batteries as well and they were as much as the inverter!

Anyway top tip of the day, use a vacuum sealing bag for fresh meat or fish, you can chop it up into the portion size you need and season it before sealing it up and it stays fresher longer and is much nicer as a result. It’s also good for stews or casseroles as you can just boil it in the bag, don’t forget to make a couple of vent holes though or it could get messy.

The vacuum bags are also good for cheese, you can slice enough for a couple of sarnies and seal it up and it won’t go mouldy in less than a day.

Don’t use it on bread though, it will keep it fresh, but it’s surprising how much air is in a loaf of bread, in a vacuum a nice big bloomer will shrink to the size of a small roll, a flat small roll to be precise [emoji23] [emoji23]
