Platzbedarf

1 kg ≈ 2 Liter Gefrierfach. Viertel Rind (25-30 kg): 50-60 Liter. 300-Liter-Truhe: bequem ein Viertel + Schwein + Gefluegel. Vom Bauernhof direkt: 20-40% guenstiger als Supermarkt.

Haltbarkeit

Rind: 6-12 Monate. Schwein: 4-6. Gefluegel: 9-12. Hackfleisch: 3-4. Vakuumiert: 50-100% laenger.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The most cost-effective meat strategy: buy family packs or sales, portion into meal-sized amounts, vacuum seal, and freeze immediately. A vacuum sealer ($50-80) pays for itself within months by preventing waste and letting you buy in bulk at 30-50% lower per-pound prices.
