FoodSaver Flow FM5000 Series 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealing Preservation System 1st look review

[@trishfitzpatrick2066]

I've watched MANY Food Saver videos and this one is BY FAR the best for demonstrating EXACTLY how to use this device. Well done!

[@GunkleJimmie]

Doug, I spent almost an hour looking for videos to answer my questions... then I found yours and it answered all of them. Thank you

[@gettingcraftywithmycat]

Thank you for doing such a good job on this video. My old food saver of 8+ years just died and we got this one on sale. I feel that the food saver should be a staple in every home. Your video made it much easier to use and figure out.

[@glenday6859]

Thank you Doug! Your demonstration video was MUCH BETTER than the Foodsaver version!

[@TheWpruden]

Yes, I agree 💯!!! Much better video 👌 than food saver! Great job!!

[@kellyd6055]

Thank you Doug for your demonstration, it was honest & clearly explained. I had viewed a another one on you tube & it wasn't even close to your explanation; the woman spent more time explaining her marinate! This is my second Food saver, the first one had a marination tip which broke & Food Saver kindly replaced the whole unit! Great Customer Service, very nice staff & I had my new unit within weeks! This model takes a little to get used to, I prefer my original for the vacuuming process, but feel more confident using this now. I don't necessarily agree that this model would be difficult for 1st time users, since they've never experienced its use. All they have to do Doug is watch your video! Thank you for your help ; )

[@gillosborne9516]

I just got my food saver and I was clueless. A complete novice. Your review is excellent. So much better than the instructions which were useless. Thank you so much.

[@ManyaP64]

Thank you for this video - this is the most helpful for using this device on KZbin. I bought one of these years ago and just opened it last night. Very helpful!

[@tinam5330]

Ha ha!!! If your a lush. That was Funny. I just found your video's I was looking up about how to use FoodSaver 2-In-1 Food Preservation System - Stainless Steel FM5200-000. It is the first vacuum seal I ever bought really like it. You are very informational Thank You.

[@suew4609]

Are you happy with your’s? They are so hard to choose, as so many people complain about every one of these vacuum sealers!

[@mom2biggs]

I am ‘ditto’ing’ the last comment. I SOOOOOOOOO appreciated your step by step and detailed description of instructions. I have had my FS for the past two years but, used it for the first time a few months ago. I wanted to use it today, could not remember. I stumbled on your review and am sssooooooooo glad I did! Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!

[@appleknocker56]

Sealed some raw hamburger in 2020 & just used them & was still nice & red and no ice! Tasted great! Ty for this video much better than the makers!

[@nctxweaver]

Great review! I found one second hand and it's a bit more complex than my basic model. I appreciate your step-by-step instructions. I had no idea the accessory retracted! or that the vacuum cover opened that far. Thank you!

[@rdecook651]

I love your "step by step" tutorial. I recently purchased a new one (had one about 25 years ago, that I just recently sold). Thank you.

[@elephantgrass631]

Doug this is the most comprehensive video on the FoodSaver features and accessories on KZbin. My only suggestion is to zoom out a bit more. I know it's tough but you're doing such a good job with the capture that I just want to see your videos in full potential. Also, when it comes to pressing buttons, another thing you can try is sealing and marinating through as per usual then getting footage of you pressing buttons separately. That way, you don't have to keep moving the camera around. Just edit in the appropriate button that you need to press to make it look like a continuous shot. Thanks so much for the information!

[@martinb7475]

Very good device that help to preserve food longer. It takes time to get working for someone who has never use the product. The price of roll and bags are expensive. I give three out of five stars.

[@dependableth3577]

Thank you for showing how to use the food saver. I received mine for Christmas and haven’t used it yet. Your instructions were very clear so I’m ready to use mine now and going to buy those marinating containers.

[@captaco22]

Thanks Doug, Just bought this for my Father In Law for Xmas since he loves cooking. Great review

[@diverdaw1]

Thank you! I've had this model for awhile and knew about the assessory device, but only used it with the bags. Didn't know about the wine/bottle stoppers or the marinating jars, this is an added plus. I will be purchasing these items. I guess I haven't been using my unit to its full potential, but that's going to change, thanks to your helpful video.

[@curiouscatlabincgetsworrie7755]

Great video with all I need to know for now! Foodsaver should have paid you or given you the products for free haha! This video is a few years old now but to my eyes my new Foodsaver FFS006X looks pretty much the same, but yours has a better les cryptic panel with large words instead of little symbols. So maybe I can print my own little panel and tape in along the actual panel. I just got it and it's like you say. Not for the noobs. This is my second and my first was more of a toy in comparison bundled with a sous vide stick, amazing things those sticks are! I also worked in a little deli shop back in the day so I know vacuum sealing.

[@dianad1917]

Thanks so much Doug! I have had mine since December and didn't have time to figure out how to use it. I will have fun using this system. This is my second one.

[@kollegs101]

Thanks bro, watched other youtubers but could presentation was poor . Yours is the only one found helpful. Had 20 of these to sell from a liquidation pallet and needed to test them out. Thanks for helping me make that money

[@cestsibon6620]

Dude, I was looking reviews for a while and I finally found yours. Thank you!

[@cocacola31173]

I have this one and love it! Love how easy it is to make bags now. Just wish it would hold bigger rolls though. I get mine in bigger rolls and have to unroll half of them onto another roll. But otherwise love it!

[@laurisnicholson1602]

Bigger rolls are a must!

[@aprilcarr8079]

It was a gift and last time I owned a food saver it was a simple one like you said but can’t just get another one so yup it’s a little hard to figure out that’s why I asked about for each step and Specifics thank you so much

[@maryjones7507]

Good job, thanks!! The best review I have seen in a long while

[@HOPROPHETA]

Your channel is fun to watch Doug!

[@violabentson652]

looking forward to using the sealer with the Ziploc bags I had a handheld one but I wanted one that was connected to the regular sealer. Now I don’t have to have an extra piece. Looking forward to this

[@ryanzanow8221]

Excellent man! Thanks so much Doug! As others have said, I was looking for a good video review/instructional, and you hit it head on man! Very much appreciated!

[@glendapouyadou1659]

Can you show how to seal bag with neat in it. Mine does not get all the air out

[@sergeantfighter6369]

Doug is a ROCK STAR!

[@patricknester435]

Thanks for the breakdown Doug I just bought one from you line supply They shipped it out really quick. But the little vacuum motor only ran for like 5 seconds And wouldn't seal. Anyway that sent me my 2nd one I have messed with a little bit but it doesn't seal up either so i mean they're doing something wrong. Oraga tworaga 2 defective odefective onesAppreciated the information that you put out and I will try it again tomorrow thank you my friend and then myeah you're my friend and the marinated chicken look good God-bless you

[@ryanorseth6701]

Truly awesome! just got one of these and about to do some work on it. Your video is amazing thanks for sharing.

[@lydia5684]

Well FS was difficult to understand. Took me forever to see how the container accessorie worked. I ordered the jar sealers No problem with that and I got the 3 cup container. You were the only one that said walk away takes bout 10 minutes. Mine did pop up the first time and second time held it for a minute. I did a dry run. I walked away. Worked like a charm. I just did grapes. So far you are the only one that gives a demo on this. Trust me when when I saw this.

[@HealthWeightFaith]

Can you use the jar sealers with this unit?

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Yes

[@aprilcarr8079]

You did actually show the steps to seal it was just right to the part of the actual sealing could you please demonstrate the Specifics steps to exactly how I would push buttons how far the bag goes and steps that actually how thanks I’m still doing something wrong to seal please help thanks but what you showed it’s the best video out of all the vids I watched. Thanks again😊 can’t seem to seal other bags like my old one did. Must be doing something wrong.

[@Davidm1056]

Great demo. I just purchased off eBay. This thing looks great. Thx what's the paper towel gadget?

[@suew4609]

Are you happy with this Food Saver? Any problems with it? Thanks!

[@GustoStCool]

I just used mine for the first time! I f***ing love it!

[@keggiemcsagersteinowskiman3281]

Best video with explanations. Thank you!

[@Joe-ps9ff]

How are the containers in your video holding up? After looking at FS containers on line, it looks like there may be an issue with them holding a seal and cracking. Are there two types of containers, one for marinating and another for just food storage?

[@johanna8897]

Well done, very thorough. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@chauffeurmarco]

You know, it’s better to cut while sealing. This way you are sure that it’s cut straight. It’s a great machine. I had and other one and was not friendly user. However, I did not use the ace sealer. How does the bag stay depressed since there is no sealing?

[@biggs1303]

Hey Doug, when sealing zip lock bags, canisters, or bottles with the accessory attachment does it shut off automatically, or do you have to shut it off manually?

[@michelespaid593]

Yup it’s pretty impressive how it takes on the marinades. I did it with some from Sams club. My roast turned out great. I used the same dish and my food savers or 8 hours. The roast tasted like I did it for a week. The marinade was all through it.

[@cindylott6540]

Thank you for the demonstration. Taught me a lot

[@juanochoa3651]

Donde puedo conseguir los contenedores para marinar

[@coletonstargetshootingculb9956]

How can I clean under the plastic cover

[@MelsSimpleMeals]

Such an awesome review ! So in depth and really showed what that baby can do ! Seriously sold on this :) I love the fact that you can make your own custom sizes and the accessory attachment! I never feel like I make time to marinate anything overnight, so I really love those containers !! Awesome :)

[@TheKathysplace]

Where do I find the trouble short

[@claudettejordan319]

I was really pleased with it and I learned a lot from it thank you very very much

[@hunchovb]

Nice‼️. I started to upgrade to this one, but I went with a different model. I got those containers too. That’s my absolute favorite wine. I need to get the bottle stopper. Nice demo👍👍

[@aleyalan2010]

Wondering why they can not make it quiet or at least less noisy. Can u seal mason or ball jars?

[@dank9288639]

yeah homie

[@mikeq7096]

that dressing and 57 mix is awesome also..did up some drums and air fried in the foodi

[@michaelsebastian8407]

Good job Doug. Liked it a lot.

[@personalvideos1226]

After sealing raw meat does it have to be stored in the freezer?

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Or the refrigerator because it will spoil

[@shawnam7471]

Can I re-seal bags of chips?

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Yes!!

[@donnabarata2537]

Thanks for the video great Video

[@mosilver1572]

Italian dressing and Heinz 57, that does sound interesting.... I might try this Doug style.

[@metroplexchl]

Great video. Quick question.....Do you double seal the ends before vacuum sealing it? I'm new to the game.....

[@laurisnicholson1602]

If you are pulling from the roll, seal first (with the lever on the lower right side in the seal position), then pull out as much as you need, lock and seal and cut so the next 'bag' is ready to pull out pre-sealed. Pull out what you need, lock seal, cut - repeat. Hope that answers your question : )

[@scottbogfoot]

5:04 pluse mode would probably be better with juicy meats, the pulse keeps the liquid in the meats. Or that's how it was explained to me, I haven't used mine yet 😄

[@coh5lag]

i have that model and i love it! now i have a marinade container in my amazon cart.

[@glthomps3061]

Hi Doug good video. Can you tell what is the name of you paper towel dispenser please.

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Paper towel dispenser amzn.to/2J9ViOE

[@lysanderxx1664]

Excellent tutorial, thanks!

[@cnnw3929]

I think you're right. I have a 5460, and I really like it. But for someone just starting out, maybe a more basic Food Saver would be better.

[@andresconcharg]

Best review, thanks 👍🏽

[@sylviassuccess]

I should've gotten this a long time ago. Thanks for the detailed review

[@Raven4122]

getting one today but DUDE! 45 to an hour on the pressure cooker DAMN! Naa I go 15 minutes from when it starts to release then let it depressurize on its own BUT Im old school stove top pressure cooker, but like you said, FALL OFF BONE AWESOMENESS! NICE video hey im going with the food vac bags brand bag dont cost as much and work great..

[@claudettejordan319]

I like the way you shared your video

[@TrangHuynh-hz9vb]

Do you like the containers??? My friend said : didn't feel the difference in the meat .

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Your friend is correct!

[@AP-514]

did you get any Coupons for purchasing another food saver ? looking for a discount coupon

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

No

[@tomsmales3176]

Hey thanks COOKINGWITHTHDOUG, GOOD VIDEO..

[@peggylambe3948]

Moist/dry buttons are blinking,how do I reset,?

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Plug out for a few secs

[@lvtaylortaylor9904]

Good review of the machine and accessories

[@angelabowens6222]

Thanks for your video,, it helped

[@TheKathysplace]

Mine won't vacuum

[@U.S.A_247]

Great Job!!!

[@ilovehandmadestuff]

Hi doug! Thanks for ur review, I just got this myself and tried sealing some meat and realize there was still air. I did slice it so it’s no longer in one piece. So u have any advice for me? Thank you for ur awesome review :)

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Press on the bag to help out sometimes...if that doesnt work hit cancel and repeat boo😘🙌

[@ilovehandmadestuff]

COOKINGWITHDOUG :( haha I think I have to stop being cheap lol and maybe don’t fill the sides

[@ilovehandmadestuff]

COOKINGWITHDOUG tried it again and figured it out lol! Def my first machine and was overwhelmed

[@wasibara]

I think is also design so you can use more plastic by putting the part that seals to high.

[@AP-514]

well, it was worth a try..Liked the review

[@dianeevans6168]

Thanks great video.

[@michelespaid593]

Nice gadgets!!

[@sheliadennis9004]

Great review

[@st4y-c4lm44]

Thank you

[@RMRM6]

amazing review thanks :)

[@jonathonsimon7770]

Good demo. I just got this machine as a gift and just took it out of the box - you taught me everything I need to know to use it. Sadly the marination "faster" concept is a marketing ploy. I saw a study by Boston University (genuineideas.com/ArticlesIndex/pressuremarinade.html) where they used a high pressure vacuum to marinate chicken breasts with green die, so you could see the penetration. No difference between the non-vacuum and vacuum chicken breasts. Though storage containers are fine for keeping your food fresher (away from air), but that's about it.

[@kevinalexander9227]

YOUR VIDEO WOULD LOOK A LOT BETTER IF YOU WOULD ZOOM OUT AND NOT BE SO CLOSE TO THE OBJECTS SO WE CAN SEE THE WHOLE THINGS

[@johnsmith-sk1ep]

The two years stuff is nonsense. Removing the air in the bag is not the essential part. The essential part is to make sure that there are no air gaps between the meat and the bag. You can vacuum seal and still end up with empty air pockets. What happens is that there is this invisible freeze/thaw cycle going on in your freezer. google it and do your own research if you don't believe me. when that happens moisture occurs in those pockets which is what causes the freezer burn as it touches the meat or whatever you've frozen. if you wrap your meat tightly in plastic and then cover that, you don't need a food saver. but, i use one just because it's more convenient but even so you still have to make sure that there are no air gaps in the plastic.

[@johnsmith-sk1ep]

btw the main complaint i have with mine is that it wastes a lot of the plastic. it looks like this model might be better than mine but i can't tell and besides, man, you're wasting about %40 of the plastic

[@COOKINGWITHDOUG]

Good job lol

[@suew4609]

It’s true! I used to fly home to CA from PA once a year and bring a dozen partially baked loaves of sourdough bread with me. I’d wrap them really tight in plastic wrap, and then wrap them in foil tightly. They lasted me the whole year, if I used them miserly! No freezer burn!

[@TheTJAmos]
