Quick Answers
I saw a video by the makers of freezer bags that showed how to draw out the air from a freezer bag using a soda straw. Is this a good idea?
Although air left in food to be frozen is undesirable as
it causes quality and nutrient losses, it is not safe to
suck air from any product with a straw. This could be
especially dangerous with poultry as it could cause
ingestion of Salmonella bacteria. It is also unsanitary.
