Fantastic bags! Vacuum Packed

I love these extra wide 15 inch bags. I bought them to be able to vacuum pack large cuts of meat like ribs. End sealer with 15" - 16" sealing strip. I've always had trouble fitting large ribs (boned-in, over 5lbs) in an 11" bag. They just don't fit and I don't like the "water displacement method" on my sous vide cooker. I always prefer to season and vacuum seal the roast before placing it in a 24 hour immersion cooking bath. But I've found that 15" wide bags can still be used/sealed with standard size vacuum sealers (with 11" sealing tape). Simply place the meat/roast in a 15" wide bag, then cut about 3" from both top corners of the bag at a 45 degree angle and then seal those cuts at an angle (the top of the bag is hexagonal). I make a hole (which you will vacuum) in the top of the bag 11 inches or smaller. Then proceed to seal the top of the bag as usual. You benefit from being able to use a larger bag for larger/wider cuts of meat without having to buy a commercial vacuum sealer. I got this tip from a friend and just wanted to pass it on. This saved me a few hundred dollars on a 15 inch commercial vacuum sealer that works well. The seal has never been broken.
