Thread: Vacuum Sealer

a trick that found that works is buy a roll of walmart brand or dollar store brand wax paper cheap , towel dry fillets I usually put 6 to 8 fillets to a bag wrap them in the wax paper then put then in the vacuum seal bag and seal them the wax paper stops the liquid from violating the seal !!!

Thanks guys, will double seal and try the pre-freezing

Which sealer is good one and at a decent price. I have been wanting to get one.

I would suggest the Food Saver brand. It seems to be the market standard. I would get one of the middle price ones if it is in your budget. The $100 ones work but lack some of the features of the ones selling around $150.

FoodSaver® The #1 Vacuum Sealing System

They have a 20% off sale going on now.

I got the titanium its very nice! It has double seal option and I've literally done 50 bags back to back it works every time!

It'll suck juice out and still seal it no problem.

losing there seal in the freezer ? Have had several do this lately.

Yes we have and burned up several of the cheaper ones. Got one from Cabelas. Bigger more expensive unit but no more problems.
We butcher chickens every other year and seal the parts in bags and that sucks to go to the freezer and find the bag has broken open.
If I was smart enough to add the link I would but go to cabelas and check them out. It is sold under there name.

Thats a good idea. I always use Ziploc freezer bags filled with water but I might try a few like this and see how it works.
