I've been told not to vacuum seal mylar bags because it prevents the O2 absorber from doing its job and may set up conditions for botulism. Do you know if there is any evidence for that?

[@live.life.simple.]

This is my second sous vide cooker kzbin.infoUgkxK2YRU9uBOXzuIEV660Qo3sX7dJDJLg72 and I don’t know why you would cook meat any other way. This model is more compact and quieter than our older version that this one is replacing. We have done creme brûlée, cookie dough and tons of meat. They all come out perfect every time. I recommend this to EVERYONE. The app is great and easy to use. It stays at a consistent temperature. This model is extremely quiet. I just love it. We also have the anovo sous vide cooker 16L box thing and this fits inside that which is great because I can store them together. I just love that I can set this and walk away to deal with the rest of dinner.

I bought the USV20 I want to thank you Brain If it was for you I wouldn’t of known about this machine I’ve only had it for 3 days and I very much like it Thanks again

[@millardiii]

I have had mine for a little less than three years. I bought it because I got tired of buying a new VaccuSeal ever year or two. When bought it, I purchased 1000 vacuum bags with it (500 each of quart and gallon). I figure that my break even will be when I run out of bags. Those dimple bags are darned expensive! My only complaint is the max bag size. Since one of its uses for me is sous vide cooking, I was disappointed that some of the cuts of meat won't fit in the 10x14 bags (the biggest it will take). I ended up having to buy a Avid Armor AVS7900 to play backup for the big jobs. At least the second unit was cheap (half the price of a VaccuSeal, though I am not convinced it is any better of a product. Overall, I love it the chamber vacuum sealer!

I purchased my HR freeze dryer about a month ago and love it. I also have a pretty large chamber Vacuum Packing Machine from China that I got off ebay a few years ago for about $350. I will package my freeze dried food in the mylar with a O2 absorber and then put a 10-12 second vacuum on it, then double seal with the HR sealer. I feel too much vacuum will crush everything in the mylar bag. Seems to work great. Time will tell....

[@live.life.simple.]

You are right about crushing if its left on vac too long. Not sure if they all do this but this can be adjusted for how long the vac goes as well as how long the seal stays on

[@andybowman9697]

@@live.life.simple. Seems like that would be a guessing game. Is it really just trial and error on adusting the vac time to where is doesn't crush stuff?

[@TheFeaz]

So I am curious for one little clarification... Do you still recommend using an oxygen absorber inside the bag even when you vacuum seal? I could understand it if you were only doing a partial vacuum (like when, as you suggested, you had something sharp like noodles that might puncture the bag under too much vacuum pressure)... but ordinarily, I would think an OA in there would just be a waste of money / overkill.

[@live.life.simple.]

I still use one. Several people have said there are still trace amounts of oxygen after vac sealing

[@aperson1181]

Do you also include an oxygen absorber when you use this machine?

[@scotttoner9231]

Do you have access to any science as to being able to downsize the O2 absorbers when doing the Vacuum seal? Won’t be none, but certainly smaller packets.

im curious how would it do for something like egg or milk powders?

Have you done any infusing or pickling with your chamber sealer yet? If so, what are your thoughts on the processes? You also mentioned the sealer goes hand-in-hand with the freeze dryer... do you still feel the need to add an oxygen absorber when using the Avid Armor vacuum sealer?

[@katew6462]

The vacuum on that thing is terrific! I have to ask though, why does it count down so long, just to suck all the air out at the very end? I'm kinda confused about the process.

[@live.life.simple.]

It sucks the air out first, you see it at the end because the vac chamber is putting air back in, just like your freeze dryer

You sold me on this unit and the idea of vacuum sealing. I own a HR Freeze Dryer and this should work great side by side. QUESTION: when you spoke about the 5 mil mylar bags, do you mean total thickness of 5 mil (2.5 each side) or 10mil (5 mil each side)? Will the HR mylar bags seal I guess is the question. If vacuum sealing, do I need to still use oxygen absorber packs in the bags?

[@live.life.simple.]

Yes you still need absorbers and this will seal 5 and 7 mil.

I don't freeze dry, but have become very interested in such a sealer. I Sous Vide, marinate & do loads of stuff in my 8 quart Ninja Foodi. Since this handles liquids, I see a real benefit there.

I wonder how much shelf lifespan it actually adds and at what point if any is it anaerobic and we have to start taking extra precautions from botulism or botulism spores like in canning??

[@DocKingliveshere]

Ok. Having trouble wording this. I could use information on how to plan storage of the food I freeze dry. Meaning: It's only me and SWMBO home now. We just started freeze drying. When I store food, do I store meals/items in pint/quart bags for two? Or do I store gallon sized bags of "stuff" that'll last for several meals? Store 2 pork chops or 12 in one bag? I know: depending on what I want to do. What i want to do is store a "meal" sized serving. But SWMBO thinks more is good. (Don't get me started!) Any suggestions would be helpful.

[@dnr0]

Could the marinate feature of the uv32 be used to rehydrate freeze dried foods like lasagna, so the shape of the serving can be maintained?

[@live.life.simple.]

I have not tried lasagna, but I have used the marinate function to rehydrate other things. It will rehydrate tough foods faster.

[@NordicDan]

Just ordered one of these since I plan on stockpiling beef, pork and fish in my freezer. The only thing that concerns me though is the vacuum pump being oilless, if there's a chance of it overheating under several hours' of consecutive use. My brother in law killed a Foodsaver (totally different yes, but also a dry vacuum pump) a few years ago after one of our fishing trips.

I assume you still need refrigeration for meats etc. if product isnt freeze dried first. Also if an oxygen absorber is still needed and you run the risk of bag punctures,does this really give a significant advantage for prepare/survival club?

Yes, definitely have to store anything containing liquid in the freezer, it would only be safe for freeze dried foods at room temperature. Moisture + low acid, at room temperature can grow botulism.

This was great. I wish you would have gone one step further and shown sealing mason jars

Some of the models have a mason jar attachment. I don't believe this one does.

[@janetsysuarez5463]

If you have the USV32 chamber vacuum sealer model, or a different chamber sealer that does not have an accessory hose you can still vacuum seal mason jars, in the chamber of your machine, using some of the same steps. The main difference is that the mason jar will have to be small enough to fit into the vacuum’s chamber, with the lid closed. Here’s our easy step by step guide on how to vacuum seal a mason jar using a chamber vacuum sealer. Place the lid on the mason jar and then loosely screw on the outer band Place the mason jar into the chamber sealer Shut the lid on the chamber sealer Run your ‘auto vac and seal’ function on your vacuum sealer Once complete, remove the mason jar from the chamber and tighten the outer band of the lid. Your mason jar will be vacuum sealed and ready for storage.

[@janetsysuarez5463]

It just doesn't say how small the Mason jar needs to be. Can you test it and let us know @retiredat40

You can always use your HR Freeze Dryer to seal mason jars as well, you only use the vacuum pump, and remove the tray holder. :)

That looks very interesting. Is the chamber large enough to seal jars? We have had a vac-master for over 4 years and it has performed perfectly. Ours will seal Quart, Pint & below sizes to perfection!!! Our size vac-master will even fit the 1/2 gallon jars but the jars seem to be faulty and not dependable in their manufacturing. A few have burst even though we adjusted the pressure to about what a food saver would use. This machine saves us $ because it will seal all Mylar & generic ‘food saver’ bags. I use my food saver a lot and we also use the heck out of the vac-master. I am excited to hear more from your viewers what they think. 😀
