Review on FoodVacBags 100 8x12 Vacuum Seal Bags: Sous Vide Cooking, Food Storage, BPA Free, Commercial Grade, Heavy Duty by Christopher Bates

first let me say that I bought these bags at full price with a bit of skepticism! Second, I hate reviews, period. I received them on Monday and tried them today! God how do they work. I have sealed cooked rice in one bag, raw pasta in 2 bags, meatloaf in one, and cooked okra and sausage in another. Oh, and a pack of pens! I wish I could show you all the pictures, but I'm not very techy! The pouches worked great with everything except the okra and sausages because they had gravy (but I know that's what usually happens with all sealers. I was too lazy to freeze first! Oh well. They're textured on one side and smooth on the other. I vacuumed them with the textured side up. They still worked so well. I will give a pack to a friend and keep the unopened pack for myself (they come in 2 separate packs of 50 packs ).I will DEFINITELY order them again.
