Review on FoodSaver Automatic Machine Express Certified by Eric Jefferson

Overall the system works, what it promises what I expected. Vacuum and seal. That's what really matters. I see both pros and cons so let's look at them. Pros: - Very simple bag making system - Powerful vacuum, can shred things easily - It can actually use bags which are not meant for storing food but are not recommended - Great for sous vide cooking - Has a drip tray to Not to ruin vacuum - A wide range of BagsCons (with helpful tips) - A bit pricey (analyze your needs, desires and compare systems) - Unclear about the differences between multiple generations and model numbers. (go to their website and see the comparison chart as it's very helpful) - Needs an extra 3 inches of empty space on top of pocket which makes you feel like you're wasting pockets (that's sad but not no guilt or space needed for a pressurized heater and to prevent liquids from being sucked into the system (most if not all vacuum bag systems leave a large gap at the top) Helpful Tips - Write on the bag before you vacuum - Read See the instructions and helpful tips on their website - leave it 1/2 to 1 inch each time you want to reseal the bag. So if you want to reseal the bag twice then you need to leave 4 inches, maybe 5 instead of the recommended 3 inches between the product and the top of the bag. Foodsaver ziplock bags are great for food that you want to seal multiple times. (like the Ritz) in a box to prevent crushing (yes it's a strong vacuum) - preparers love them for sealing items in their bug pouches - pouches are expensive so buy in bulk to save money
