FoodSaver Adventure - Adventures in Everyday Cooking

[@mommybear001]

Made me smile seeing how excited you got about she food saver. I did too. My boyfriend would just shake his head when I showed him every thing I did.

[@cherryicecream7926]

I know it's been a year but I am seeing this for the first time I just purchased a FoodSaver for the first time thank you for your very very very thorough instructional video you have answered a lot of my questions and save me a lot of time I look forward so much to using it very soon thank you for sharing

[@lindarachels4651]

Like you I just purchased my first ever FoodSaver Today😃. Haven’t even taken it out the box yet. Found her video very informative. Looking forward to taking this baby for a test drive soon. I have sooo much food to seal. I can hardly wait😂😂🤣.

[@georgepauls211]

I just used the machine before watching your program and made all the same mistakes, I watched this to learn how to use the sealer, and from this program I found the manual and learned about the resealing bags. It is good to see others learn from their mistakes. Thank you.

[@fed-upmimi341]

I just opened my food saver and said I have a masters degree and can’t figure this out. So I found your video! Thank you for all your help. And I also enjoyed all your PC products. I was a consultant for 2 years and have all your ‘stuff’ too! Good job!

[@TheFriendlyPsychopath.]

Did you read the instructions dumbass?!.

[@sandiwhite5453]

You are a breath of fresh air, just stumbled across this video, after looking like a deer in headlights today in the food saver section, not having a clue on which one to get, this has given me more insight. I would also like to get the attachments for jars, as I'm in the process of putting dried foods in jars for storing. Thanks for the info and the giggles ❣

[@derekmartin8498]

You are so funny and adorable I could have seriously watched you talk about the food saver for an hour long. Immediately after watching you I cleaned the cob webs off my machine and started packing my food again. Thanks for the inspiration and yes I got excited over the avocado’s too

[@amylarsen3952]

I found you by accident. And I’m so glad because now I understand how to use my food saver! Love watching you.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Amy, I love those types of accidents!!!

[@raineross188]

You are ADORABLE! I so enjoyed your video, and felt encouraged that you made ALL of the same errors as I did, including not finding the helpful owner's manual inside with the bags until the next day! You gave me some great tips and ideas. Thank you!

Raine, you are my favorite human today. Thanks for the love!

[@carolmoreau603]

Thank you for doing this, you are the first one that makes perfect sense, and I was able to use my food savor correctly

[@mizsherm4352]

I got my food saver this afternoon and boy did I make a mess of it so I boxed it up to return then I found you! Went back into the kitchen, sealed everything properly, I'll keep it so thank you!

Yay Janet! You will love it!! :)

Really great tutorial. Very helpful. I appreciate you going through step-by-step, explaining each step completely with a clear visual point of view. Thank you!!!

[@kelvington4182]

Very useful video! Thanks I was having trouble with my unit, and didn't understand you had to put the open bag end into the tray! Thanks you really helped me!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

I'm so glad! :)

[@adcolt54]

@11:28 - You still can use the roll. All you have to do is make the bag larger than the item. This way you cut the bag open, use some of the product, put the item back in the bag and reseal the original bag.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Great tip!

[@PriscillaBentley-h6q]

Just bought a Costco Foodsaver like what you are using. Loved your entertaining personality and informative video, especially with even some small mistakes that make your video so helpful.

[@Motown041]

Thank you - I just purchased this FoodSaver vs3180 yesterday and I love it.

[@JustShawnie]

I love this lady’s video! She has a good sense of humor and I was exactly the same way the first time I used my vacuum sealer for meats trying to find things that I could use on the vacuum sealer.

[@lendog203]

Both myself and my wife loved the fact that you didn't take out any of the "bloopers" or things you didn't expect out of the final. We enjoyed your review & we cannot wait to get into it with the food saver adventure. Keep on Cookin' sister.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Just keeping it real. ;) I still use my foodsaver several times a week. SO much so that it still lives on my counter! ;)

[@lendog203]

@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking & we plan on following in your footsteps... thanks again for the videos. Njoi your day.

[@laredoblaze]

Your video is perfect! Your presentation is so real and spontaneous and sincere! My Mom had a Seal A Meal 65 Years ago I believe and I have wanted one for years! Finally got one but was sad my Mom is not here to help me - but you are right on! Thank you! You have convinced me I can do this!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

You can do it! I am using mine for everything! It's so handy!

[@Fontanafox]

Wow! I agree with the others. You are so lovable. I just got my FoodSaver. I used one of those pre-made bags and put my block of Pepper Jack cheese in it and was so excited to see the vacuum thingy do its stuff! I’ve rediscovered my kitchen and am having fun too.

[@Carrolinanc]

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. After watching your video I tried out my Food Saver one more time! I was ready to pack it up and take it back to the store and get my money back for it. I have watch several other videos and no one explained and showed how to use the Food Saver like you did. I had half of a can of tomatoes in the frig and tried it out and it worked!!! No where on that sheet or manual tells you to put the open or top of bag in that green thing. I really like the way you explain things.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Carol I'm so glad!!!

[@norcalcrafters8668]

I have been wanting a sealer forever. Now, I just might have to get one!

[@robservice3322]

What a great demonstration of the features on the food saver and different things you can do with it. Thanks so much

[@dachandewuffsteiger]

I JUST got one of these and my journey starting this was exactly the same as yours. First bag, little too small, didn't get a good seal. Totally didn't notice the resealing zip top bags. As well as not realizing the lid had a lock if you go all the way up. But sealed cheese in them right away. Also it seems with the build-a-bag style as I call them. It's good to leave a lot of extra, because you cut, then wash, and re-seal if you want to reuse it.

[@mfb6310]

FS has a video on what not to seal. Soft cheese being one of them.. I heard wrapping hard cheese in foil first helps, but haven't tried it. My sealer isn't working well.

[@evelynoconnell4895]

Thank you for your very informative video. I have one I purchased a couple of years ago and didn't use it much but after watching your video, I will definately give it another try.😀

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Definitely try it! I really do love it!!!

[@gypsyrose1958]

My whole family has one of these each. We use it for our smoked bacon, all of our hunting meats, fish, chicken, absolutely everything. Thanks for this video. It’s a great way to save and reuse

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Gypsy, do you do your own bacon? I'd be curious as to your process if you do! Find me on FB and msg me to connect! I'd love to know how you make your pork belly into bacon... it's on my "list" ;)

[@s.a.larsen5304]

I would like to ditto everything Sandi White said in her comment - totally a breath of fresh air, and informative, too! I've been looking to purchase a foodsaver and just bought one today. I think I might exchange it for this model so the plastic roll has inside storage. I also bought the attachments for jars; I began dry canning last fall. Thank you for the video!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

You are so welcome! :)

[@conniedunfield7601]

Thank you so much! I bought a Food Saver & couldn't get it to work correctly. You straighten me out with your clear instructions!

[@gdbynoe]

The main reason for buying a Food Saver is to be able to buy in bulk, repackage into single use packages (depending on the size of your family) and have the food last in perfect condition in the freezer for years. Your cheese block could easily have been cut into 3 or 4 smaller blocks and vacuumed. Lasts forever in the fridge. Big bags of chicken parts, beef steaks, lamb chops, stew, burger and sausage cuts/grinds can all be repackaged from bulk and then used as neccessary. Invaluable tool. The uses are endless.

[@raqueldominguez6133]

Question,do we have to seperate meats individually or can we vacuum seal a few together? I cook everyday and we are 6 and I do but in bulk and always use ziplock bags but these days am really want to buy more and freeze long term.

[@gdbynoe]

@@raqueldominguez6133 if you buy in bulk and have the freezer storage you should package meats in the sizes that you would cook for your family or whole, like a rack of ribs, a whole salmon or side of salmon, whole chickens, whole pork cuts, lamb cuts, etc. I like to pack chops and steaks individually but of course you don't have to. Things like chicken wings I package by the bag, maybe a dozen or so in each bag. Chicken parts like legs, thighs, breasts, package them in multiples that you would feel ok with cooking at one time. I buy beef, lamb and goat stew in bulk and package it individual bags of a pound or two. Again, whatever size suits your family if you were cooking a stew or a curry. You can buy mega packs of hot dogs and break them down into smaller packs. Buy hamburger in bulk and make 2lb packs. I always find that you will get the best results from vacuum packing if you freeze whatever you are packing first. I lay everything out on a sheet tray in one layer and freeze. Works well and the food keeps its shape much better. Vacuum pack in one layer too so that your packs are thin and stack better in your freezer. I remove product from the vacuum bags before defrosting for the same reason of keeping it's shape. Also don't be afraid that you are not putting enough product in your bags. It's better to have smaller bags than bigger bags because if you need to cook more you can use 2 bags instead of one. Of course you can also take out the quantity you want to cook and then reseal your bag if the quantity in the bag is too much. Just think of your needs and do your thing. There really is no right or wrong.

[@gdbynoe]

@@raqueldominguez6133 vacuum sealing will keep your meats frozen , in perfect condition, for years longer than a ziploc. You can also make and freeze food like chilli, pasta sauces, stews, etc., in rectangular Tupperware containers and then flip them out of the containers and vacuum pack the "bricks" for use whenever you want. There are no limits. Just use your imagination.

[@GodfreyMann]

My main reason for buying one would be for sous vide cooking and avoiding freezer burns not bulk buying.

[@gdbynoe]

@@GodfreyMann ammmmmmmm ... the only way to get freezer burns is to leave the food badly packaged in the freezer which usually is caused by buying more than you use quickly, i.e. buying in bulk. So please explain the difference.

[@rosebyler4236]

Love watching you! I use this for everything. Any bag cookies, chips, rice beans etc. It's a great investment for saving food.

[@dennispieczynski2565]

I have a food saver unit. The first thing i put in it were fresh peaches. Even on the moist mode is sucked liquid into it. I tried cleaning it several times. To get the best result I have found that keeping a slight pressure on the lid helps. In addition I found it does not automatically vacuum and switch to the seal mode. So i watch and when the air is out of the bag I press the seal button. Keeping some pressure on the lid while sealing seems to help if you have a small wrinkle and it still seals.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Great tips!! Now that i know my machine well, I try to seal it WAAAAY before it tries to do it that way less liquid is sucked out--same as you! :)

Fantastic review, I bought one of these yesterday and I agree it is endlessly useful. The one thing though for me and I think you as well.... Is I haven't a budget for it on the bench (space) and having to lift it in and out of the cupboard every time to fully utilize it, is going to get annoying. Food for thought.

[@abbyfanning9322]

i go to Gordens Food Services and can buy deli sized bricks of cheese for 16.00 versus buying it for 5.99 a pound sliced. i used a slicer to slice it myself and vacume seal them in bags. i also pork loins slice them into chops and vacume seal and seal. which saves money.

Take a vault up and now buy a circulator, so that after you season and vacuum your roast, you can "sous vide" the meat then caramelize it when it is done. My favorite 'new' toys...the Anovo sous vide and the 6 qt Insta Pot. I've been using a Food Saver for quite a few years and couldn't live without it. BTW talk about saving money! Buy, for example a whole pork loin, and cut it however you want...roasts, dinner chops, breakfast chops and the trimming from the ends for stir fry. I've lost some in the freezer a couple times (like 3 yrs.) and it cooked up just fine. I know that FS says 5 times longer, but I'll challenge that. Enjoyed your video.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Marinating is with liquids not just rubbed spices. And the sealing opens up the meat and let's the liquid go in and cause Marinating. Also containers for food saver for Marinating works wonderful.

I wondered if the containers would work as well... thanks!

Thanks. I didn’t open mine all the way either. At the point of resistance, I stopped lifting like you did the first time.

[@carikshawn4201]

It is July 10, 2022 and about 2 months ago I bought the PowerXL Duo Sealer which was advertised on tv. I loved the idea and watching the video was very positive until I got it. The sealer/vacumn barely worked...the rest of the process was perfect but it sealed and vacumned when it wanted to. I spend about a week playing with it and finally sent it back. I believe I had a defective unit and told their customer service I'd send it back and re-order but they told me to just return it and they would refund me and were not supportive of my getting another one. That was a BIG flag telling me they were having lots of problems with it. They also sent 2 rolls of bags and said they were a years worth but I have a cake business too and using it for businss and home I could tell it wasn't enough. When I first got it I called to order more rolls and was told they were out. Now I'm searching for another that does similar things and perhaps this is it.

[@josephosorio5718]

A great video. I just got a Food Saver myself and experimented with coffee, toys, and rice. I was mostly successful. Your approach was awesome and helped me in understanding the machine and other options, like marinating meat. Any ideas on complete meals?

The handheld vacuum get stuff inside, how do you clean it out. I had separated and ran just water through it and now the it, doesn’t work. What can I do? I have the same foodsaver that you, I hope you can help me. Thanks ,

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

You should definitely contact FoodSaver for that problem. That has not happened to me. Sorry Carl!

[@_pikachu_636]

I have had a foodsaver for 7 years and saved a lot of money over the years, and my food last longer, cut the cheese and other items into smaller blocks if u want liquids freeze them first then vacuum them, the small bags with sealers on them don’t last that long.

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

I too have noticed that. I wish those bags would last longer! They are almost ALMOST one use (meaning just cheese until the cheese is gone, then toss). It's a bummer.

[@DisneyAdulting]

I have a vacuum sealer coming today. I am so excited! I’m hoping it will make some foods last longer. Lord knows these grocery prices are insane! Saving every penny helps! I’m also excited to try vacuum sealing my breakfast burritos. One of our favorite meal prep items. We shall see if they get an icy like layer on them. You remind me of…..well…..me. LOL.

Wrecked 4 bags trying to do half c. No. Would not. Just sealed and half cut. I am furious. I read the manual. Mine didn't come in the box. Read online . I ended up measuring my defrosted blueberries in ziplock bags and back in the freezer. Your video was great, informative .

Did you ever get it to work? I hope so, I can't live without mine.

I just got one also, can you please tell me the secret on how to get the handheld vac to retract back into the holder or stand where it belongs . When I try to put the hose back into the case I have about 4 or 5 inches of hose that will not retract back into the case. I need to leave the vac on its side on the counter. Thanks

Try extending the retractable hose all the way out again and see if maybe it just isn't catching in the right spot. If that doesn't work, maybe contact FoodSaver and see what they can do for you. They stand behind their products and will help you! :)

Just bought my first food saver! We are new empty nesters as the kids are all in college now. I’m having to adjust my cooking amounts for only two people. The food saver will come in handy to store half the package of frozen green beans and extra chicken breasts! I came across some freezer burned Christmas cookie dough today.(it’s May). Next year I’ll vacuum seal my extra dough so we can have Christmas in July!

I bought this food saver months ago! I have been afraid to use it. I would love to see you do some Sous Vide recipes!

So how is it working ? heard bad & good things about the food sealers.. long term any brand nearly seems to have problems except very costly ones. I wish a long term review on brands

[@JaneH3675]

Can this food saver be used with the accessories like sealing Mason jars?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Only if it has a vacuum seal opening on the top.
