Reddit mentions: The best food service disposables

Ok, this is probably going to get a little long but I'm going to take care of you here so strap in. I make sandwiches like this and take them to work. People at work are always telling me how awesome my sandwiches look, asking where I got it, and expressing disbelief that they are vegetarian while saying "you made that?". So, first I'm going to tell you how to make it and then I'm going to tell you how to wrap it because this shit doesn't fit in your average ziploc.

The bread in the picture is what my grocery store calls "Brick Oven Pane Tuscan" but get what you think looks awesome. Bread is the foundation of any amazing sandwich so don't be stingy. Then, from top to bottom, it's whole grain mustard, swiss cheese, veggie salami, veggie turkey, tomato, baby spinach, and mayonnaise. Now, the picture that I linked you to was from a while ago. I've made some changes to my standard sandwich. I now oven roast grape tomatoes and add those to it along with some black olive slices. I've also swapped out the baby spinach for some field greens with herbs. Also, a coworker started collecting condiment packets at his desk in a bowl to trick people (people assume it's candy at first) and it's sort of become a thing so I don't put the mayo and mustard on my sandwiches anymore. I just use his packets at work. This reduces any potential for sogginess.

Ok, now for how to package it. First, get some freezer paper which is like parchment paper but one side is plastic. Some people call it butcher paper. Wrap it like it's a big piece of meat except you only need to do it once. Once it's all wrapped up you can drop it in a gallon size ziploc freezer bag. This is just in case the tomatoes are too juicy and the freezer paper can't hold it in. I reuse mine for weeks so they last forever.

And there you go. Once you are done you'll have an amazing sandwich that people will think is professionally made and will nourish you through your afternoon and into the evening. Be sure to make this sandwich your own. Put what you want into it. Use this as a guideline. Check out my food tumblr for other sandwich ideas. Ask questions if you want.

Cheers!

Brisket is a challenge. I have gotten the hang of it pretty good, after several tries. I do mine like they do in Texas, because, well I live in Texas.

Don't cut your brisket up in smaller pieces, its not going to turn out correctly, ever. It's really meant to be cooked all together.

Step 1: Trim

I square off the brisket flat - the flat typically has really uneven edges huge chunks of hard fat and other stuff that won't cook down. So the goal with the flat is to get all the sides of the meat even thickness and to reduce, but not completely remove the fat cap.

For the Brisket Point, I want to build bark on meat so I'm aggressive with the trim. The point is heavily marbled, so we don't need to maintain as much exterior fat here.

Step 2: Season

Salt and pepper all over. That's it.

Smoking for long hours is going to pretty much hide any flavors you put on the brisket anyway, so just S&P for me. But here you can try things out and get creative. Unless you are trying to do Texas style, which is S&P.

Step 3: The cook

I have an electric pellet grill. It uses little wood pellets to heat and smoke. I set this to 275F (135C) and put my brisket on and close the lid. Now I walk away. I do nothing except make sure the fuel is good for 6 hours. This first 6 hours is where you get the bark.

After 6 hours have passed - I open the lid for the first time. I'm checking the bark here. if its light go another hour. if its where I want it it's time to wrap. Some people wrap in foil - I disagree with this.

I use butcher paper: https://www.amazon.com/Pink-Butcher-Kraft-Paper-Roll/dp/B06XCCQ9K4

The butcher paper protects the bark, it breathes unlike foil, and you want it to breath.

At this stage I'm 6 or 6.5 hours in now. This is the first time I'm putting a probe in. I expect to be 155F - 165F (68C-74C)

Brisket is wrapped back on the smoker, and probed. I'm watching fuel and just watching the brisket come up to temp.

At 200F (93C) I'm using my probe to test the brisket in various places. The probe should go right through meat with little to no resistance. Remember I'm still wrapped so I'm poking through the paper as well. (just don't go all the way through and let the juices out of the bottom.) the brisket is probably going to be "done" Between 205F and 210F (93C-98C) But the poke test is more important than the actual temp - just dont go over 210F(98C)

Now I pull it off and wrap it in a towel. I put it in a cooler until the temp drops down to about 160F (71C) Perfect serving temp.

​

Hope at least some of this is helpful!

this was super easy to make. Buy a regular black t-shirt, a spray bottle with 50/50 water bleach mix and freezer paper.

http://www.amazon.com/Reynolds-391-Freezer-Paper/dp/B000BZYCNK

you should be able to find this at your local grocery store next to the other baking items.

Here is a great video on how to do this yourself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn43W40q330

here is the stencil i used

http://i.imgur.com/S4chd.jpg

i did a reverse spray for this, because otherwise it would look like Conan with a mustache. So I cut out the hair and mustache and ironed those pieces to the shirt so the bleach goes around them and they stay black.

This is a very easy stencil and easy hobby, I have made 20+ bleachshirts for friends as gifts. The best part is they are original and the person getting them is always happy to get an original shirt.

If you decide to add other apps I like to use Favor's bag for other deliveries. Larger, can stretch, the material looks better and best of all, it has a shoulder strap as well and that makes deliveries so much easier.

If you don't want to work Favor, that's also understandable. I found some bags on Amazon:

• these are a little bit larger, probably twice the size of Doordash's bags. They fit most standard bags fine, but larger carry outs that cant be placed sideways may be a problem. No shoulder strap though :/ I personally use two of these.
  
• This one looks good for the 20 inch pizzas, if it was maybe $20 I would consider getting one but $30 is a little pricey for me. Peeps will have to settle for the boxes it comes in for now I guess.
  
  I honestly don't know why it's so damn hard to find a bag sold commercially with a shoulder strap. I guess you could buy another bag and if you have some sowing skills add a strap yourself. Would anyone else be interested in something like this? Shoot, maybe I should start up my own business, selling gear for DD or other drivers that they won't sell :)
  
  Edit: I found a $23 22 inch carrier for pizzas! Beeeeeeet! As for shoulder straps just buy a replacement one and DIY it like I mentioned :)

Not really, no formula. In fact, once you perfect a method it only works for that bean. Buy a different bean, dial it in. Cold brew is one of the more forgiving methods.

I recommend setting up a bunch at once, with various methods in tiny containers (think like those sauce containers with plastic lids) record each method and length of time, temperature it sat at, etc. Then taste them all and see which you liked best
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZKC89T

Gotta get it how ya live it. Also, the cups in the middle for the “sour cream” aka plain Greek yogurt and sauce are 2 oz deli cups. They fit just as well in the containers and are great for storing dressing if you wanted to put a salad or something of the sort in a container. They work pretty well for Jell-O shots too lol. I either hand wash them or throw them in the dishwasher.

Hits in our house:

• divided tupperwares with pre-made lunchables... crackers, chopped chicken or ham, and cheese you can really assembly line these and stick a small juice box inside too and we leave enough for one each low enough for them to pull out whenever they want.
  
  
• Pizza biscuits. Cut biscuits in half, get the kids to shape it into pizza dough, splotch of marinara sauce and sprinkle of cheese. Cheap, they make and assemble them, I bake them.
  
  
• Date rolls. They taste chocolatey and the kids like how sugary they are.
  
  
• Yogurt ranch dip and cucumber chips. This is easy to stick in a 2oz container and small tupperware and let them, again, pull it out whenever.
  
  
• Cut fruit. Apples, pre-peeled oranges, grapes, watermelon... I usually put some vanilla yogurt in a 2 oz container with it.
  
  
• Applesauce. You can buy this in giant tubs and split it into serving cups with lids.
  
  
• Granola bars from the discount grocery store. The mini quaker oats kids-sized bars or something like that are like $1 a box at mine.
  
  
• Trail mix. Trader Joes has small, pre-made trail mix bags. The chocolate one is the kids' favorite.
  
  
• Premade chocolate milk. Good lightweight snack for littler ones.
  
  
• Cereal. Too easy, and we'd put it in a tupperware bowl with a small carton of milk.
  
  I bought a ton of cheap kid-friendly tupperware and bulk disposable 2oz condiment cups for drinks, sauces, all of it. All of it gets thrown in a tupperware they can grab out of the fridge and eat themselves.
  
  I bought stuff like this : https://smile.amazon.com/Plastic-Bottles-Evident-MT-Products/dp/B06XKYZJD4/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519783874&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=kid+friendly+small+sealable+milk+jug#customerReviews

  I really only made the kids when they'd come over eat 1 meal at the table with us. The rest they just grabbed whatever they wanted from the fridge.. and I made them eat outside at their table so if they spilled I'd just hose the whole area off haha.

I'm not OP but I make a brisket about twice a month for my family. Here are my steps, done on a Rec Tec Bull 700.

1. Trim brisket. Remove decal, trim fat cap down to ~1/4", remove any silverskin on top.
   
2. Rub it. Use S&P to stay pure, or whatever makes you happy. Occasionally I will break all the rules and inject with a mixture of melted Kerrygold butter and cajun seasoning. It's always a hit.
   
3. Place brisket fat-cap-side-down on your smoker and get the temp set to 225.
   
4. When brisket internal temp gets to ~160, and has developed a nice crust, pull it and wrap in peach butcher paper. Can be found on Amazon Here
   
5. Let brisket continue to cook until internal temp reaches ~204 degrees.
   
6. Let rest in cooler for no less than about 2 hours.
   
7. Slice 1/4" thick.
   
8. Shove down your gullet.
   
9. Share with friends, family, neighbors...etc.
   
10. Take any leftovers and make chopped beef sandwiches, or use as tamale stuffing.

i'm striving for this as well. my wedding is more of a backyard bbq, so it may be a little different than a traditional wedding. we're opting for electronic invites (through paperless post), biodegradable plates/cups/utensils (i found a great deal at a yard sale. the women used to be an eco-wedding party planner!), green burlap table runners, second-hand dress from poshmark. no plans at the moment for favors, but if we decide, we'll opt for biodegradable take-home containers so people can bring home leftovers. best of luck!

Yea I didnt think butcher paper would be worth it until I tried it. It is pretty awesome, link to what I bought.

Your bark does look pretty fantastic.

> Except the ethics and stuff.

Isn't amazing how taking something out of context can completely change the intended meaning? I never said " Me only eating meat that I hunt is doing the same thing that a vegan diet would do." I said " Me only eating meat that I hunt is doing the same thing that a vegan diet would do, in terms of supply and demand." Of course hunting does not fit into a vegan diet. But it does have the same impact on the meat industry, because I am not buying meat. The money I spend on hunting goes to the government.

> I'm really surprised you haven't factored in the cost of the gun, the ammo, your time, lodging, equipment, processing, transport, refrigeration...

Most of these costs are 1 time payments. As a vegan, I am sure you have spent money on cooking equipment, like knifes, blenders, cutting boards, dishwashers, bowls, ect. that are not included in the actual cost of being vegan.

Still, to answer your question I will give you some price range ideas. Almost all of my things are hand-me-downs, but let's pretend you are a new hunter.

Gun: $250 This is for a basic gun, but this is a 1 time payment and can last many lifetimes if cleaned after every use.

Ammo: $15 20 rounds can last 2+ seasons. A hunter who is careful about shot placement will use 4 rounds or less per hunt. 2 hunts a year, 2 and a half years worth of ammo. Costs can also be cut down by reloading.

Time: Most hunters go hunting 2-3 days before the season starts to go camping. Hunting trips are more like camping trips than you realize. Most hunters, my self included, love to spend their time hunting. The time spent hunting is positive for most people.

Travel: If you are an out of state hunter, it gets costly, yes. In state hunting, travel can be extremely short. My elk camp is 6 hours away, so yeah there's that. But my deer hunting camp is literally 10 minutes from me.

Lodging: $91 Another 1 time purchase that can last 15+ years if treated correctly. This tent is plenty big enough for 2-3 people. In the case of my deer camp, I sleep at home, for free.

Equipment: Not sure what this means. I mean for knifes you can get dirt cheap ones any where. You could even use a kitchen knife. Food is typically the same price as it would be if I went to a grocery store to eat at home. Knifes are also 1 time purchase things.

Processing: $4 I mean, other than butcher paper and a meat grinder this is free. You can pay to have a butcher do it for you, but it is impracticable for cost savings.

Transport: Biggest cost really. Depends on where you are hunting. I mean you spend money on gas going camping or on a vacation, and since hunting is really just that, it doesn't really matter to me.

Refrigeration: I have 3 freezers, so this wasn't really a cost for me, but you can find cheap used fridges for less than $100. This is another 1 time purchase.

So all together: Less than $700 for all costs. These are all one time costs that only need to be payed for once. Let's say transportation is another $200 a year. That is still less than $1 per pound of meat. Obviously you are not successful every year, which I guess could add to costs, but the point of hunting isn't to kill something every year. It is to get out into the woods and make an attempt to feed your family.

This is far better stuff than that waxed stuff. It's what we all use over here. It is backed with polyethylene so it doesn't bleed through any cracks that form, and removes cleanly. Over here we can get it at Walmart, but I get mine in the hunting section of the sporting goods store. you can get it at Amazon UK.

Edit: Thanks, Bot!, Thanks, Coffee!

Some friends would get these water pouches intended for travel, and fill it with tequila before going on a cruise ship. As long as it is a clear alcohol, it goes undetected and you'll be able to keep your buzz going the entire trip, as well as a positive bank account balance!

I have something similar to this in my quiver of delivery bags that I mainly use, but it's not quite the same.

https://www.amazon.com/Earthwise-Insulated-Collapsible-Waterproof-Reinforced/dp/B06ZZGX3KQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1539230376&sr=8-16&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=insulated+grocery+bag

I use it for envelopes for logistics and for grocery bags for PN and WF. For restaurants I make sure it's flat on the passenger floor and use one of my Pizza bags to build a nest so the food doesn't tip over while driving.

There is this awesome bag for PM that is compartmentalized that I want for Christmas but it's 80 bucks and Postmates logos all over it. It would be great if you had a hatch, but if not you would have to even out a seat to prevent food from shifting to one side. I think it's meant to be saddled to a rack on a motorcycle tho.

I also purchased from amazon [this](Pink Butcher Kraft Paper Roll - 18 " x 175' (2100") Peach Wrapping Paper for Beef Briskets - USA Made - All Natural FDA Approved Food Grade BBQ Meat Smoking Paper - Unbleached Unwaxed Uncoated Sheet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCCQ9K4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_AOeFAbB16G7MW)

It is awesome and a normal amount.

I’m Assuming you are paying a premium for that paper.

If you do a lot of smoking,

here is a great deal on Amazon.

I use this and it works great.

Follow the 3-S System. Soup, Salad, Sandwich (or tortilla wrap, your preference).

Essential to this system are these. Sandwiches and Salads are incredibly quick to make. You can make 3 or 4 in 20 minutes, each with different toppings, and put them in the lunch trays.

Soups can take awhile if you chop everything up and simmer them for a long time. However, order yourself one of these and you can make soups effortlessly. Just blanch/boil your vegetables in stock, add seasoning, and blend them up.

You can do this with basically any vegetable(s), and it's really easy to get a large serving of vegetables because you can drink 8-12 oz of soup really easily. I'll warm mine up in a glass in the microwave and just drink it. You'll be really surprised how much less you're craving food with 12 oz's of soup in your stomach.

I also use these, they have a small divider and I chop up a bunch of vegetables and keep them in there to make salads/sandwiches/tortilla wraps. Tortilla wraps are great! Bit of hummus, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, bell pepper, (meats are optional), some italian dressing, and you have yourself an amazing veggie wrap. These make making them incredibly easy.

If you were only going to do one thing, order those lunch trays. You can make an entire weeks worth of lunches in one night. Chicken, rice, vegetable, and put in the trays for a weeks worth of lunches. Might not have the most variety, but it's easy as hell.

You can get an iron for around $10. Freezer Paper is around $8. Your shirts will come out much better using the proper tools. Good luck!

I'm not sure that's it, Freezer Paper is only waxed on one side, I'm not sure greaseproof paper is waxed in the same way. I don't think we have a UK equivalent (but I'm hoping I'm wrong).

I honestly can't imagine greaseproof baking paper sticking when ironed.

However, amazon UK and hobbycraft sell freezer paper, so we can still get it!

Thanks OP, you've opened up a whole new world for me by crossposting this.

sure can!

HTOMT Meal Prep Containers [10 Pack] 3 Compartment Food Storage Lunch Containers with Lids | BPA Free | Stackable | Bento Lunch Box Bowls, Freezer Safe https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074J6L9H6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

My favorite meal prep container is the Newspring VERSAtainer model: NC-868-B. Here is a link for them on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Newspring-VERSAtainer-Rectangular-Microwavable-Container/dp/B005K8ODZK

Also, I am able to get these locally at a store called Restaurant Depot (As the name implies, it is a store for wholesale food/restaurant equipment. However, you do need a tax ID to get a card there).

The containers at Restaurant Depot cost ~$38 for 150 pieces. Making them ~25 cents/piece. Although, even if you get them on amazon, it is still pretty cheap at ~45 cents/piece (shipping included).

This is good but for brisket, 24" roll is much better

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZYDRI8K/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2ZAY8HX11QCRX&coliid=I28I7IW6R4QTS1

18" you'll need to overlap some, 24" you should be ok with one piece.

It's all good, I actually found exactly what I was looking for , just wish it was cheaper 😭. I better get tipped more for it lol.

You can find Freezer Paper on Amazon!

As for how long you left the bleach on: I don't take NEARLY that much time! I spritz a pretty moderate amount of 50/50 on, let it soak for maybe 5-10 seconds, dab it off, and repeat. Do that for like three or four times, and it should work a lot better. When you're done, dunk it in water.

The bleedthrough, I guarantee you, is being worsened by the fact that you left it on for 30 minutes.

I use the bevbag and it works pretty well. I also got the drink holder insert for it. If anything does spill it’s easy to rinse or wipe off.

Yaaas girl! Cut your design out on freezer paper I found it easier to mirror the image and put the paper shiny side up on the cutting mat, then iron it onto your fabric.. shiny side goes down and it'll melt the plastic on the paper so it sticks right to the shirt. Use a foam brush and dab your fabric dye/paint on (any will do, I picked up whatever they had at Michaels) and that's it.. once it dries you peel off the freezer paper and you should have nice clean lines. I washed mine right away and it looks exactly the same as store bought screen printed graphic tees.

And if my rambling is too hard to follow YouTube has a vast variety of tutorials if you just search for cricut freezer paper 😀

Thanks :) I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Yeah I used freezer paper, this exactly http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EME5KZ0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm in the UK so can't get it in supermarkets! As for not getting the edges to curl up I guess I just had the iron on it for a while. I did also have the cut out stencil underneath a heavy cookbook for a while too try make it all flat before I ironed it on the t-shirt.

Here’s a link to butcher paper on amazon:

175 feet will last you a long time. Probably 50 or 60 smokes.

I bought mine from Amazon since I couldn't find it in the grocery store. It's like normal paper on one side and kind of waxy on the other side. The waxy side fuses with the shirt and the paper side is really easy to draw on.

https://www.amazon.com/Condiment-Resistant-Container-Condiments-Dressings/dp/B01LZKC89T

You can probably find smaller packs or a better price. They work great. Bit of food in each one, every other day written on each one. (minimal feeding to keep toxins down since you don't want to ask a sitter to do water changes)

I think a good place to start would be with the Freezer Paper. I had a difficult time finding it, but the Reynolds paper worked really well for me.

I like to take any bulk meat and break it down into meal sized portions, then freeze each portion separately. For example if I buy 8 pounds of ground beef, I'll use 1lb right away and then break the rest of it up into 7 1lb portions and freeze each separately. If I buy a pack of 12 chicken breasts, I prepare one right away, and wrap the other 11 individually. That way you never have to defrost then refreeze the meat, which is really damaging to the meat.

When freezing meat, the best method is to wrap it in freezer paper then place it inside a plastic bag. Make sure to always write the contents and the date you froze them on the bag. That way you won't end up with a pound of hamburger hiding in your fridge for five years.

And I'm not sure exactly what size containers you have, but I can fit two of these just in the bottom compartment of the bag, so I would think you have more than enough space

Try a local butcher's shop. They often don't have clear freezer paper, but brown unbleached freezer paper. It took a lot of work to find somewhere that actually has freezer paper out here in BC. Also, Amazon looks like it sells it in Canada, but it is expansive as balls

This is the best looking one I've found, but it doesn't list the dimensions; also a little pricey

Edit: It does show the dimensions in one of the pictures

Now you have access to butcher paper. Paper bags are not food grade so you can't have any idea of what you're using is safe or not.

Try wrapping in pink butcher paper next time... you'll get better bark.

I've not tried parchment paper before, so I don't know. I've used wax paper once which was a terrible mistake, and since then I've ONLY used freezer paper. You can get it through Amazon Canada here. I don't know how much cash you have, or how expense this is vs USD, but this will make you a goodly number of shirts (depending on big of a design you use. I've done 4 shirts so far, and I easily have enough paper for 7-10 more remaining.

Slippery fabric is hard to cut well. One method to control it is to use freezer paper. You lightly iron (just a touch) to the wrong side of the fabric, trace the pattern (or you can trace it on beforehand) and cut. I've found that with bigger pieces it's not necessary to cover the entire piece of fabric with freezer paper; it's the cutting lines that matter, so if there are some gaps in the middle it's all right. Remove the freezer paper right after cutting. If you're going to cut out more pieces, the free freezer paper patterns can be reused.

Microserrated shears also work extremely well if you're willing to buy a pair.

The method with the thread that you used to turn the loops was fine. You can also use a loop turner with a hook or a set of sticks like this. I prefer that the latter.

I did some searching and bluvoy the company most recommended dash bag by reddit has this drink bag similar. It costs 30 bucks.

For meats, I use freezer paper. I've never had any problems with it. Just get tape that will hold up in the freezer and mark the package with a sharpie so you know what's in it and when you put it in the freezer.

Freezer paper is sold in grocery and craft stores. The pattern is traced to the matte side and the shiny side is lightly ironed to the wrong side of the fabric. Silk is best cut in a single layer. Charmeuse has a shiny and matte side.

Have you tried pink butcher paper? Foil contains any fat and water that is released by the meat, which essentially causes it to braise. Butcher paper becomes saturated and "sweats" so the meats slowly roasts. I've found that using foil for butts makes the light meat dry and the dark meat mushy.

this is what i use, doesn't have a wax side
