You are better off with a chamber sealer. Machine will cost more but you can get regular 5 mil bags for about .01 cent each and a chamber sealer will do soups , stews, you can even seal gallon bags of water.

[@pamrix6800]

For freezing soups, sauces, fruit etc. Hubby puts it in a ziplock bag, freezes it for a few days and then opens the ziplock bag and puts it in the vacuum seal bags. I order pre-made bags I buy my bags in bulk from a company in California called DOUG CARE. Been buying from them for years. They sell sealing. Machines and a varity of bag styles, sizes and thicknesses. FYI...I am only a customer of theirs, I'm not a representative, influencer, etc.

[@bdmbpm1467]

I bought a vacuum sealer from Aldi's last week for $29.99. I have always wanted one but did not want to pay upwards of $150. With the crazy increase in the cost of food, I am more conscious of buying items when on sale. The sealer allows me to buy larger quantities and freeze for longer periods. Als ol for refrigerator items, especially cheese. I can extend it's life before it turns green (i.e. bad) by vacuum sealing each time after opening the cheese.

[@TheTylerWhit]

I’ve had several different models of Foodsaver vacuum sealers over the last 15 years. kzbin.infoUgkxLarn2Zt7095D2lp3tN-bj5JtYPg3Wz2 I picked up the Nesco unit because it consistently receives top reviews it all across the Internet. Get this if you’re serious about vacuum sealing. This is the most have unit. The only tiny annoyance is not being able to lock the lid when you put it in storage that is such a tiny nitpick however, it’s almost worth not mentioning.

I have the same vacuum sealer as you. If you remove the two black foam rings from the top of the lid and bottom, rinse them off and reinstall, the vacum will stop when complete instead of continuously running and you have to hit the button to start the seal process. I think the foam padding wears out over time and allows air to pass during the vacum and sealing process. This works for me. Thanks for the video.

When you cut open your FoodSaver bag, cut right below seal with sharp scissors, wash with hot soap water and let thoroughly dry. Store these used bags on or in an empty paper towel cardboard holder to prevent creases. When you use this used bag, if end has slightly curled, cut a small portion off using the blade in your FoodSaver for a perfectly straight edge. Voila!

[@rubbnsmoke]

It is a good idea for certain items. And for others, even IF you buy PREMIUM freezer bags you have to be careful of how you handle the bags when going through your freezer moving items around looking for certain items. As even using good to premium freezer bags, when filled with hard, frozen foods become very delicate and susceptible to abrasions that go right through those bags if bags are slid, shifted, bumped or banged into each other. And you KNOW how when you stack bags of food in your freezer, once frozen don't exactly just move freely without scraping against or banging into other bags. And that's when said abrasions scrape or poke holes in the bags.

I use a similar method to seal mylar bags. I just use small strips of vacuum sealer bags in place of his strips from the ziploc bags.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Bags at those big stores are more expensive. Universal bag rolls online are inexpensive, but at least I've got another option now. Thanks for posting..

I've recently bought a foodsaver machine. I live I New Zealand and the bags here are so expensive. We have the brand glad here as well but I don't think that they are as thick as yours. I'm going to look into your great idea. Thank you

Your welcome. I was near your land in the 80s visiting Tonga

[@amyrivers4093]

@@JohnSolar283 I've never been to Tonga but when I was growing up and as a primary school teacher I had friends and students who from many countries. The Pacific Islanders were always very polite and respectful of teachers. The kids worked hard and always tried to please which I related to as I'm always been called a people pleaser as if it's bad. I never thought it was a bad trait as I am/was always genuine.

[@JohnSolar283]

being mean is a bad trait. People pleaser will result in a happy life.
