Simple, Efficient, and Useful: Basic Manual

Between harvesting the garden and freezing game and fish, my family has known a few branded vacuum sealers for years. It was quite tempting to add a new machine to our range at this price point, but we were previously unaware of the Megawise brand name. Well, so far we're impressed. The box contained everything we needed to get started: a model VS6621 sealer, a power cord, a set of ready-to-use vacuum bags, an extra sealing gasket, and a vacuum hose. (for use with special sealed jars and pouches, not included). I even liked the slogan on the box: PERFORM YOUR HOUSE WITH MEGAWISE! There was also a well-written instruction manual and warranty card. The real test was how the device worked. If you're new to vacuum sealers, they're undoubtedly one of the most efficient tools you can have in your kitchen when it comes to revolutionizing how you store perishable foods. Removing all the air from the packaging before freezing will prevent the freezer from burning through and extend the freezer's shelf life by many months, if not years. It "really locks in freshness". In addition to using the freezer, you can also use the vacuum process to marinate meat, where the vacuum pressure helps flavors and liquid seasonings penetrate the meat, not just on top. You can also seal garden fodder, dry foods like cookies, crackers and other snacks, or basically anything you want to protect with waterproof packaging! Change the way you approach steak! The device's simplicity accounts for a large part of its charm. 4 simple buttons: food (dry or wet), seal (to seal the bag without vacuum), vacuum seal and stop. Even if you have never used it, you will learn how to use it in just a few minutes. Be sure to check out my attached video for a 60 second tutorial! The only difficulty you may encounter is when trying to suck an overfilled bag or if you didn't leave enough empty bag at the open, sealing end. It's important that this end can lie flat with no creases or overlaps. Otherwise, the bag may not vacuum well, so don't skimp on an inch or two of the bag. The VS6621 should work with any standard locking lid (not designed for your zippered storage bags) and fits easily in any bag that is 11" wide or smaller. This kitchen tool takes up very little space, is easy to clean and store, and even your kids will love to help operate it (it's really cool to watch it suck all the air out of the bag! :D Do yourself a favor and get ready Improve your house with Megawise, fast!
