Question: Is there a way i can seal small items with out wasting a huge bag.
Document: You really have to play around with this thing a little bit before figuring out how to seal it properly. Sometimes it takes a few tries. If you're like me and you hate wasting a big bag for a small job, the best thing to do is the seal it on the open end first, by placing the open end of the bag on the heat strip, and leaving it out of the vacuum chamber, then pressing down.
My only complaint is that the cover doesn't latch down. That means that if your bag has a small wrinkle in it, it's harder to pull the bag edges apart to ensure a seal.Otherwise, the sealer works fine.Tip:  For foods that have a bit of liquid with them, freeze the items first, then seal. This prevents liquid from being drawn into the sealer.
Its ok for what I needed at the time. I don't like that if you just want to seal something the portion is very small and there is no way to double seal a bigger package.
I have been trying for the past hour to do 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. No matter how I position the bag, the unit will either vacuum or seal which totally defeats the purpose. At this point I think wrapping in plastic wrap & then bread bags will be more effective than wasting more time & money on bags to get this to do what it is designed to do
You can have a top of the line vacuum sealer, but if you have excessive liquid from your meats, previously frozen thawed veggies, etc., in the bag, there is no way that the bag can properly seal.
This works very well and is easily understood! Food preservation is a must. It's a lot easier to load up on sale items when you have a way of preserving them. Easy to use if you read the instructions first!
This is a product that does not work as advertised! Specifically, the sealer function would only work half the time. Yes, it would vacuum and seal, however, a half hour later the air is back into the bag. I tried another brand of bag which seemed to work better than the seal-a-meal bags, however they also leaked 25% of the time. I was wasting half my bags. This company is wasting the consumer's time and money with an inferior product...
This little gadget works just awesome! Sucks the air right out of the package and seals it beautifully. I like the roll of bag material the best because I can make whatever size bag I need.It is small and easy to store. Easy to use and clean. I look forward to saving food dollars using Seal a meal.
I do not mind the loud noise it makes everytime it vacuums & seals. I use it for pre-cooked meals... So let me tell you, do not try to vacuum anything that would produce any form of liquid when squeezed. The liquid won't make the vacuum sealer seal the bag. So it's going to be useless. I learned that the hard way.
When it works, it works pretty well. It's batting average, though, sure wouldn't get you to the All Star Game. Sometimes it just refuses to seal, even after holding the bar down for way too long. Sometimes, when the package IS sealed, it will allow air in after a day or too and just turns into a non-sealed bag (though no gaps large enough to let the insides fall out, just certainly not air-tight.). This thing has been a HUGE disappointment.
Answer: Buy small bags (quart size). Depends how small your food is, starting place the food on the bottom of the bag, shake the bag, then begin to do your sealing process. You then can place the new load in the same procedure and seal. You now have your food stack or lined up in separate compartments but one bag. The food then can be trimmed to separate them or leave it in one bag then freeze them
