Review on πŸ₯« GERYON Food Preservation Vacuum Seal Container, 2.1 Quart (2 Liter) Compatible with GERYON Vacuum Sealer Machine by Tanya Barker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Holds tight.: Specialty Equipment

I was having trouble getting my Food Saver to work, so I had to adjust the way my Debbie Meyer vacuum sealer works. All I did was remove the fitting from the end of the hose, which allowed me to use just the hose, and then removed the liquid trap on Debbie Meyer's vacuum pump (I should have filmed a video). I was then able to create a vacuum on the vacuumed GERYON container and it took over 8 hours before finally releasing it to allow the water left in it from the rinse to dry. I look forward to using it to marinate Alton Brown's Beef Jerky. I've used Debbie Meyer Reynolds Vac Bags in the past, but you can't remove the marinade once you've sucked it into the vacuum channels, making it unsanitary and therefore unusable. The GERYON container is large enough to hold a full 2 pounds. Meat and marinade, and this allows me to deflate the meat and replace it with liquid marinade, which allows it to marinate faster and more efficiently. My youngest son came home from college on a Saturday afternoon for Labor Day weekend, and I cooked jerky in Debbie Meyer vacuum bags (which I had to throw away) for him to pick up for school. Two pounds of London roast was marinated and then placed in my new Homdox food dehydrator (from Amazon) for about 6 hours at a maximum temperature of 158Β° and it was half eaten by the time it left on Monday.

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • So far so good
