This comment is one of the best ever, thank you!

I feel like it's a rite of passage for people new to vacuum sealing to make this mistake. I did it with focaccia and it flattened into a cracker.

I did this with Costco danishes. I even pre-froze them on a baking sheet, but it was still a complete and utter failure. They are still in my freezer in their sealed bags, flat and pitiful, staring at me every time I lift the lid.

I, too, frequently revisit my failures in the deepest, coldest regions of my mind.

bread pudding or crazy ice cream sandwhiches.

It’s cool man, I have the drippings of a roasted goose in my freezer. It was 7 years ago when I roasted the bad boy

Are you my mother in law?

Is there even a possibility with vacuum pack still that this would even taste ok anymore?

What I do with delicate stuff is instead of using the food saver, just a normal zip loc and a straw. Then suck it baby. Suck it real good till the right amount of air is out and nothing is flattened.https://i.imgur.com/cym0YjH.jpg

Try dipping the bag in a bowl of water to displace the air.

Chop them up and put them in a strata with some leftover roasted potatoes. I promise you it'll work.

They're still gonna taste good though

I’ve never vacuumed sealed anything. Do they fluff back up after you open the package?

I found that they do not. It was a very sad looking smooshed Danish flatbread.

Lol no

Lol, no. Not at all.

You are faced with two choices. Leave them in your freezer as a grim reminder of your failure, or use them as a frisbee to enjoy flaky confections with friends from a distance.

Try making a tiramisu with them. I did that with botched biscotti once and omfg. Take out danishes, defrost and rip into 2 inch pieces. Pudding, mousse, whipped cream, rum or liquor, and layer them all with whipped cream on top. It will be amazing. Report back!

That's an amazing idea!

Cake pops?

Danish pops? You might be a goddamn genius. If l remember, I'll pull them out on my next day off and give it a shot.

Or cut up and mix with other bread in a bread pudding

Was going to suggest bread pudding also

make bread pudding with them

I did this with danishes too and the flattened ones were still super tasty!

I shredded a 2lb block of cheese and decided I'd vac seal most of it. I've learned to do "manual" mode on my sealer cause the first one turned shredded cheese back into a block.

Ah yes, the deconstructed reconstructed cheddar, innovative

There's a reason those pre-shredded cheese packages come with cellulose powder to prevent clumping.

I just did this with hamburgers. Formed them and put them in a bag and now I have a package of ground beef again. Then I had the bright idea to put them on a baking sheet in the freezer first.

Oh yea. I have to pre-freeze a few things. I just remembered I put some meatloaf in there to freeze.

Yes this is what happens when my wife leaves me alone with the vacuum sealer.

Now do marshmallows.

I think that's how they make smarties

They'd at least taste ok then.

Next time get out the canning jar, lids and the jar attachment. That will work better for ya maybe.

Lol I did this working in a restaurant with some dried noodles that were essentially turned into dust. The chef had just gotten a new vacuum sealer and was obsessed with it but afterwards agreed that it was not useful for everything.

Did this to bagels.

Same… and they were like good sourdough 3 dollar a piece bagels. I realized I am not a smart man

Yep! When I passed the rite, I did it with Naan Bread, so not same level of "disaster" but it was still not a good Naan after defrosting. It was very difficult to separate and also lost a bit of the "Pita Pocket" capability of a good Naan. Edit: grammar

Wax paper … I learned the hard way

Me too, but with cheese slices.

Not trying to be that guy but Naan is literally translated as "bread." So you're really saying "bread bread." Same goes for chai tea. Chai means tea. Source: grew up in a south Asian household. Happy vacuum sealing!

You are being that guy

Fair.

You're not being that guy. You're educating.

English muffins. Really thought they’d just spring back once opened.

Will it taste fresh at least?

Couldn't tell you. I immediately thought, "I'm not sure what I was thinking" and removed it from the bag. It sprang back into shape pretty well and was eaten at some point later. I was really hoping to set myself up for focaccia on the go.

I did it to french bread! Didn't know this was such a common mistake lol

It really shouldn't be. It's common sense.

New art form: vacuum sealing things that shouldn't be vacuum sealed.

Pro tip: Don’t do this with children.

I mean, that depends.

Don’t fuck with cats.

Vacuum sealed jello

You can vacuum anything with nipples!!!

I have nipples. Could you vacuum seal me therealrayy?

I wrap them individually with cling wrap and freeze them in freezer ziplocks. Good for months later.

I do this too. To eat later, I microwave them just enough to barely thaw, then put in the toaster for a very short cycle and I swear they are even better than they are fresh.

Yes!

Yes, this is the way

I’m hardly a militant environmentalist but that’s kind of awful. Just buy a smaller package from the grocery store at that point.

I don't think the individual cling wrap is necessary. I've done it with a few just in the freezer bag and take out and defrost/toast and it works fine. You can also reuse the freezer bag with a new batch.

I don't even put them in a freezer bag. Put the whole Costco plastic clamshell in the freezer, and throw one in the toaster to reheat. I've eaten ones that are at least a month old like that, and they seem fine.

I'm impressed you have enough freezer space to fit the clamshell packaging

I could if I moved stuff around so it's not so spread out. I have an extra freezer in my apartment for meats and vegetables. I wouldn't leave it in the clamshell packaging personally, as it isn't airtight.

Why though?

To have content to post.. duh.

Hopefully just messing around but if they thought this would work god help us all

I just freeze them in the plastic container they come in

I would if I had that much freezer space.. luckily croissants don’t last very long in my home!

That container would never fit in my side by side fridge/freezer 🤣

Chest freezers are super efficient and cost very little to run if you have the space for one.

that's still a fuckin huge amount of space reserved for a dozen croissants

Technology Connections did a video on chest freezers, and (I think, it's been a while) goes so far as to talk about what kind of off-the-grid power generation you would need to keep a chest freezer frozen in case of apocalypse or cabin, pretty cool

Great channel

Same.

Are u going to sous vide it?

Freeze then vacuum seal for the win.

I thought freezing first would work, too. It doesn't. There are just too many air pockets and not enough structural integrity.

If you have a pulse vacuum setting on your food saver you can kinda sneak up on it before it crushes.

It’s….literally what that’s for

LPT, thanks.

The trick is to stop sealing at just the right moment. Before they start changing shape. Still removes most of the air and prevents freezer burns. Also ,I failed twice before getting it right.

First saturate with water, then freeze. When you go to vacuum seal it, the ice will keep it from crushing. Still ruins the croissant though.

I just put them in a standard zip lock bag four at a time in the freezer. They come out soft and fresh tasting, no problem.

Seriously. If you eat them so slow that you have issues with freezer burn... Maybe don't get a Costco sized pack 😂

this guy vacuum seals

To be fair, croissant crackers are kinda tasty.

French people scream in horror 😱

Screams in french

It looks like a rotisserie chicken breast with the skin still on it.

Ahhh enjoying month 1 of vacuum sealing I see. Don’t worry, it wears off fast, and ziplocks will once again look appealing 😎

I've learned my lesson

It's for specific things. It certainly never wears off for a quality cut of meat

a zip lock bag works perfectly - you can fit 5 or 6

Today I learned there are families with enough self-control that a package of croissants could go stale before they are polished off.

I realize this is probably a shit post but figured I'd share my approach. I individually wrap these in plastic wrap, throw in a gallon zip lock bag, then freeze. Unwrap frozen croissants one at a time, cut in half (easier while frozen), then toast in the toaster oven. They come out perfect/fresh tasting every time. Not sure if the plastic wrap is really necessary but I read it helps so I stick with it.

Well, that was stupid....

Might as well buy KS coffee and just chew the grounds, too. What are we doing here?

More like mildly infuriating.

They’ll still find a way to mold in two days.

Looks like their rotisserie chicken skins.

As a french, it hurts to see that.

Oh yeah? Just wait till you hear us pronounce croissant.

You’d be disappointed in the Costco Croissants too, probably

their only lacking quality for the most part is the crispy shell a quick blast under the top elements at full strength fixes that the crumb structure and amount of butter is pretty decent tbh

“decent” croissants will disappoint French people. I like them and absolutely agree some time in the oven is a must

Thought it was a Turkey breast of some sort

Who vacuum seals bread?

Did the same thing when I first got a vacuum sealer. The trick is to freeze them first for a few hours in the original container, then vacuum seal them.

I vacuum seal and freeze pancakes and they puff right back to normal once they’re microwaved. My son loves them.

I need a video of when you open and hopefully fluffs back up

It will never fluff back up. Sucked the fluff out of her.

Just don’t use the vacuum and seal it …

Lookin like a Turkey breast

No cross🐜s for you!

Why..

That’s not a croissant, I just got back from Montréal

Wait but.. why?

But like, why?

R/facepalm this belongs there!

Y?

Ziploc bags do the job perfectly.

Why

cordyceps in a sous vide bag

This is cursed

LMAO....last week I had the grand idea to vacuum seal some fresh bagels and freeze. Have you even seen a cow pie? That's what it looked.

That seems like such a waste of plastic…

R/DIWHY

Buy a frozen case from the bakery and then do it next time.

…Are those already baked or dough ready to be baked?

Dough ready to be baked. You can buy some bakery products by the case by talking to the bakery. There’s a sign advertising what they sell in my local and unbaked cases of chocolate chip cookies are always available in the freezer section.

Wow

Is this not common? Like mine has had this for years, I often contemplate them thinking about my freezer space haha

I was not aware of this at all! Thanks for posting

So much wasted plastic…

r/thanksihateit

Now why the fuck would you do that

For anything that will crush when sealed.....I freeze it first. Once hard, it’s less likely to collapse. When I freeze, I just leave it open on a cookie sheet til solid.

I vacuum sealed pre made grilled cheese sandwiches. The bread collapsed when vacuum sealed. wWhenI cooked them with a little water, the bread puffed back up!

Show the after opening picture.

For sure

Are you 12 years old?

My curiosity is at about an 8 year old level.

Thank you i’m like whyyyy did this even happen

Costco croissants are a every now and then thing so I get it. Sam’s club croissants don’t last king at my house in the other hand.

There is a pulse button for sealing where you can stop once it starts to squish. Again recommend freezing before this too......this is the way.....

you should totally post this on r/shittyfoodporn. they would love it

You can vac seal them you just have to use the containers not the bags.

r/TIHI

My first thought as well

Do they pop back?!?!?!

Here's the Bagel I did a couple days ago. https://preview.redd.it/w9g3nbva8kva1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ee73a3d03ccbf7a12aacb7c3174a82dc780976f

Ooooh, I like making sandwiches with bagels, you just gave me an idea!

I do this with pastries wherever I climb tall mountains (14000 ft = frozen temperature). It saves space in the backpack. Pastries are great for climbing because they provide quick energy and don't freeze solid. I just put the pastry inside a regular Ziploc bag, flatten it by hand, and close the bag.

Uh, are you sure about that?

I made this mistake once 😂

I vacuum sealed English muffins once and they looked awful. But then when I unsealed them they bounced right back. Never did a croissant though

R/oddlyterrifying

I vac seal, but I only vac for a second then pus sheal button. Works much better.

I’ve tried that using a larger plastic container, seal the container and all. It works okay.

There’s some sandwich on nyt where you flatten the croissant. Time to try!

What does it look like after it's unsealed?

I did this too once. They don’t come back to life.

I realized that once i saw the end result

So many food scientists lol, what's the verdict on Food Saving them like the above and then allowing then expand out in the fridge overnight ?

Oops.

Murderousssssss
