Nesco vs Food Saver Vacuum Sealers | Best Vacuum Sealers | Putting Away Bulk Foods

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hi Homemakers, here's the comparison of the Nesco vs Food Saver you've been asking for. When you are done here, check out my Cook Once Eat All Week video. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raWZZ3uGidifoZY.

[@LaydeeLia]

Tip: put really juicy products in the bag & freeze it for a few hours first, then take it out of the freezer & vacuum seal it. That way, no fluids are transferred into your machine bcuz they will already be frozen ☺

[@butterflyj685]

What about freezer burn? I think her way is better!

[@optionout]

@@butterflyj685 How are you going to get freezer burn in two hrs?

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Lia, I see your point but I don't have the freezer space and sometimes the time to put things in the freezer first. However, I will keep this in mind and see how it works sometime in the future. I'd love to keep all the juice from being sucked into my machine.

[@nativetexan3865]

AWESOME suggestion!!! Thank you!!

[@BlueTheJLU]

@@homemakingwithdenise For juicy meats, I have been known to take a cheap paper towel and put it along the top of the bag before sealing. Soaks up the juice and keeps it out of the machine but also isn’t touching the meat. Food saver (or someone else.. can’t remember honestly) used to make a bag with a built in absorbency strip which is what gave me the idea.

[@semco72057]

The testers at American Test Kitchen also preferred the Nesco vacuum sealer also and I will be buying one of them since the one I have is a waste of money. I enjoyed your presentation of the two units and describing what they could do.

[@donhgr]

Double bagging with ziplock defeats the purpose because you didn’t get the air out of the first bags.

[@aedmonds]

Exactley, I was thinking the same thing. She's taking the shot out of the second bag, but the second bag still had sit in it.

[@frankyvee1]

I was thinking the same thing. If for some reason it was able to suck the air out of the inner zip locks bags then this defeats the purpose of not contaminating the more expensive outer bag. So either way this is not a good strategy or tip. In my opinion, it is best to just use vacuum bags. I do appreciate her review of the two vacuum sealers.

[@joshuajones5966]

She never sealed the first bag, all she did was fold it over, it still sucked air out of that bag as well, I was wondering the same thing and then realized she never closed the other bag

[@butterflyj685]

She never sealed the 1st bag!

[@chrisjones1849]

Only problem with using the that cheaper bag for your chicken is that you're defeating the purpose of the vacuum seal, since that cheaper bag won't be sealed tightly to the chicken meaning there's air in that bag, so it's prone to freezer burn. So in that example anyway, you're trading protection against freezer burn for the ability to reuse the foodsaver bag..

[@hoofhearted4]

instead of double bagging, couldnt you just wash the bag like you would dishes? You can reuse for same meats if youre worried about residual flavor contamination or something. i havent used my sealer yet so this is a legit question.

[@chrisjones1849]

@@hoofhearted4 you could probably do that a couple or so times, but kind of like w/ plastic water bottles that get reused over and over even with just water, the plastic may start to absorb "flavor" and leach that back into other food that gets stored in it. I think you could certainly do it a couple or so times though - not a bad idea especially if you reuse it for the same food.

[@rackets001]

@@hoofhearted4 My parents have been using foodsaver bags and reusing them as they cut the seals off and the bags get smaller and smaller. Just turn them inside out and wash like other plastic dishes! Unless you enjoy throwing away your money.

But how did you get the air out of the bag inside of a bag that seems like you defeated the purpose of vacuuming out the air I don’t understand I just got me a vacuum packing machine I guess it’s an off brand but it was 50 bucks and it holds gallon size freezer bags and all know it doesn’t have the meat drippings tray it has a sponge around it so I guess that would be considered the same thing but it does have a little tray there that you can clean but you can’t take it out but if you use a Ziploc bag inside of a freezer bag does that not defeat the purpose of vacuum packing because I am not doing this yet I just received the machine today and I went to learn how to use this machine on KZbin and to me I just wanna know how you know that that’s going to actually vacuum out of both bags or does just vacuuming the outer bagIs all that counts

[@homemakingwithdenise]

Hi BlueGrassBound. I got a few people take me to task about reusing bags so here's the thing. You cannot reuse the bags if protein, like meat, has been placed in it. So, I had been packing the meats in a cheaper bag and then vacuum sealing in the good bags. Several viewers have advised me that this practice reduces the effectiveness of the vacuum sealing so I no longer do this. You can decide for yourself how you want to proceed. Thanks for watching and please, tell me, what video I can make for you.

In my testing after going out and buying a nesco to replace my worn out foodsaver based on everyone's recommendations, I found that the nesco takes 30-34 seconds to vac and seal the same thing that the foodsaver can do in only 23 seconds. The time difference goes way up when you do something larger in something like a pleated bag. Who cares about count downs or flashing lights or poofs. I care about wasting time.

[@dart70ca]

The heat seal elements should be covered by a brown tape to keep the plastic bag from contacting the elements directly. The tape is called ‘Kapton tape’ and you can buy it and replace what’s missing.

Hello Denise. I’m out in Southern California and go out for Bluefin tuna. Do you feel the Nesco would work on a 5 pound chunk of tuna? This will be my first vacuum sealer and I want to do it once and be done with it.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

I think it would work if the tuna fits in the bag. Gallon size bags are the biggest the vacuum sealer bags come in. Will a five pound chunk of fish fit in that? if not, you might have to cut it down. I asked my husband who is the fish expert and we put a lot of fish in the freezer. He doesn’t think you can do a five pound piece because of bag size. His suggestion is to divide the fish into three or four parts and freeze it that way. His thought was five pounds is a lot of fish. If you froze it in a chunk like that you’d have to cook it all when defrosted.

[@BassKlef1]

using the cheaper seal bags inside the vacuum bags probably leaves air gaps in the meat. What if you leave the inner back slightly open, this then would remove all the air out of the inner bag too?

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 just bought the Nesco one on Amazon and I’m waiting for it to arrive. It had the highest reviews and it looks easy to use. I read the instructions to,get an idea of how to use it and could make no sense of them. A KZbin video cleared it up. I was inspired to get it by my stepbrother who has a freezer full of homemade vegetable soup and various meats that he got on sale.
