Fascinating, thanks!

Thanks GG.
I especially like this one that I've been doing for years, but be sure to fold over the zip lock edge to make a collar so the zipper stays clean and open when filling it.

Saving Freezer Space

The Laundry had a small freezer when I was there, so saving space was key. We’d freeze sauces and stocks in Cryovac or ziplock bags, stacked between parchment paper. They also thaw quicker after being frozen flat and thin. —Ryan Poli

Cyanide! But there is some disagreement about how much is too much and what you consume it with.
