Checked it out, its pretty cool. Punches a hole in the back to suck out
the
air and then heat seals the hole. Nifty concept.
Whoop tee doo! They'll sell you quart bags for 60¢/pc or gallons for
86¢/pc. I can just see myself using a lot of those. Yes, it is a nifty
concept. Now all they have to do is get the price down to a useable
level.


Speaking of cheaper bags, does anyone have a recommendation on a low-
priced source for food-grade, boilable vacuum bags, either in rolls or
pre-cut? They're for use with a FoodSaver machine, but they don't have
to be embossed with air channels like the FoodSaver branded bags -
smooth on both sides is fine. (I use the FoodSaver hack someone
suggested some time back.)

Thanks,

Thanks for the link. At one time I had a bookmark for Sorbent Systems
but it no doubt got lost somewhere along the line and I just couldn't
remember the name. I do recall a few discussions some time back where
their machines also got high marks along with their pricing for bag
material.

The FoodSaver "hack" is simply to cut a strip from the embossed side of
a FoodSaver bag, then place it into the smooth-sided bag so that it
extends from the FoodSaver vacuum channel, across the sealing element
and into the bag a bit. This provides a path for the FoodSaver to draw
a vacuum from smooth-sided bags, almost as quickly as it would with the
fully-embossed FoodSaver bags. A strip about 1" wide by 2" or 3" long
works well with my FoodSaver. The embossed strip just gets sealed up
between the sides of the smooth bag, no problem.

And thanks to whomever came up with this great idea in the first place!
Aside from the $$$ savings on bags, it's also a good way to recycle used
FoodSaver bag material, particularly from bags that would just get
tossed out because they're too small for another use.
