Review on Commercial FoodSaver Pack Vacuum Storage Solution by Michael Hogate

I have an old school Foodsaver - a plain white one that literally just sealed. I hand cut the size I need, seal one end - put groceries in, then vacuum the other. When the food shortages began, home cooking was the most comforting. Often the ingredients aren't always available. Rather than going to multiple stores going to look for what i needed i started buying cuts of meat or whatever was available i also make extra meals to stock a chest freezer and pantry i had to vacuum to maintain shelf life The Foodsaver packs were expensive and I quickly ran out and decided to try them, I wouldn't say they're thinner but they are d more flexible and appear to fit around food better than Foodsaver bags. It also didn't have as many sharp edges as some Foodsaver branded products. You will receive 2 rolls: 11 inches wide x 50 feet long. That's 100 feet for $22! Great price and BPA free. Each role is continuous. , sealed on each side, and you cut it to the size you want. One side is smooth and shiny, the other is textured - just like the Foodsaver brand. I'm not a fan of plastic directly on food and often use delicatessen paper or parchment in between. It doesn't seem to affect the vacuum seal. The real test is how they hold up in the freezer over time. A couple of my Foodsaver brand bags failed within a month. I do not know why. This brand had no problems. I noticed that if I didn't wait long enough between welds, the heat would melt it at the seam. This didn't happen if I just waited 20 seconds between welds. Groceries, packaged items like flour, tortillas, frozen veggies, etc. I sealed a few pounds of dried garbanzo beans to put in the pantry. These bags really match the uneven contours of the beans. I also quickly freeze leftovers in to-go bowls, such as: We no longer need takeout as there is always homemade food in the freezer - we have already saved hundreds of dollars. I hope others can use vacuum sealing to store frozen supplies and reduce trips to the grocery store. These bags are definitely a great price to start with. Also search YouTube for tips on vacuum packaging products. **Update: Some packages have lost their seal. There is no hole but a slow leak. I would say it's 1% bounce which is the same for the Foodsaver brand.
