Have one really love it...quick question when you mix your instant pudding with the cool whip...can the cool whip part be just whipping cream instead.?
Awesome! I have the USV32 and does the double seal too. 4:42 looks like this model has a better clip method than mine. I don’t get enough clearance on the heat bar from the zipper.
I couldn’t afford an avid chamber vacuum. Got a different brand. They make packing freeze dried goods so much easier and nicer. I often recommend freeze driers to get one
You will love using your Avid Armor chamber sealer! I bought the Avid Armor USV20 chamber sealer almost 3 years ago and love it. It's compact and fits well on the kitchen counter. I can open the lid fully even while the device is under the upper kitchen cabinet. A chamber sealer is not like a vacuum sealer. Totally different process. You can seal liquids in a chamber sealer that you can't do with a vacuum sealer. I make a big pot of soup and use my chamber to seal leftover soup. The chamber sealer will vacuum seal a mason jar in 3-4 seconds. My FoodSaver vacuum sealer takes about 10-12 seconds to seal a jar. I've even put a FoodSaver sealed jar attached to the Avid Armor vacuum port using Avid Armor's vacuum hose and a mason jar lid sealer to see if there was any air left in the jar, and it pulled a little more air out it. Also, a great way to store your oxygen absorbers with confidence there's no air in the jar. Marinates food exceptionally well in a short amount of time. You can use longer bags but have to seal them externally. This function works like a regular vacuum sealer so you can't seal liquids. Check out Avid Armor's video on UA-cam...How to Vacuum Seal Externally Using the Avid Armor Ultra Series ONE Chamber Vacuum Sealer. John, you are going to love using the Avid Armor to seal freeze dried food.
I bought a VacMaster and it’s awesome! Just beware of the heat sealer bar. It may not completely seal the meal pouches due to the thickness. I found out the hard way. I always use the impulse sealer as a guarantee.
That’s a pretty cool gadget, John! Does it seal mason jars too? I’m running out of storage space for all my stuff and this just might be the solution. I have 10 black and yellow totes that I got from Costco (same ones that Lowe’s carries) that are full of freeze dried food. It seems like there is so much wasted space in them. This gadget could easily resolve that problem. My dilemma…..I’m running out of room for all my kitchen gadgets 😂😂😂😂 Well, never mind me lol! I saw the attachment for mason jars and it just left my mind as soon as I saw it. Sucks getting old 😆😆😆
@@JohnInBibs I’m right behind you! I’ve got a few more years to go! I can retire now, but that means less money from social security. I’m sure you’ll find plenty to do in your “spare” time, lol! I just got chickens. I planted a LOT of stuff this year (not traveling for work or climbing those roofs anymore-yay) so I have a lot of stuff to keep me busy. I’m hoping for a bounty of food to process in the freeze dryer!
Great video John but I use my freeze dryer to vac seal is there a reason that this unit is better than using the freeze dryer to vac seal my bags? I really like this unit but just interested in your thoughts much appreciated sir God bless Tad
Thanks for watching. I can think of a few reasons that I would NEVER us my FD to vacuum seal bags or jars. I spent over 1000.00 for my pump. To vacuum seal in the FD you have to defrost it and remove all moisture and the tray rack. first. I seal my bags or jars as fast as I can after the FD cycle is done. To remove the rack so you can vacuum seal the bags or jars you have to disconnect the cable in the back. That connection is notorious for getting loose wires and causing errors. I understand a lot of people do it but I would NEVER do it that way. Sorry but I hope you now understand my opinion.
@@JohnInBibs ok fantastic thank you sir yes it is a hassle absolutely I wasn't aware that it could damage the pump great advice and very much appreciated 👍 Well I am very guilty of that but I will look into this unit you showed for sure thank you for clarification and again great video sir I appreciate your quick reply. Be safe and God bless Tad
congrats on your new toy. I'm sure you would enjoy it. I have thought about them but as of now will keep on keeping on the way I am doing. maybe later down the road. I saw a video where some freezed dried foods will just crush or stick together. I can't remember what food stuck together. maybe it was cheese. with one of those you can sure tell no o2 left in the bag, again, congrats on your new toy.
I know the feeling. I have the Dave Ramsey point of view. If I want something I have to save up first. I have wanted a chamber sealer for a very long time!
@@JohnInBibs Hubby told me tonight he would give me money for mothers day. lol he said are you gonna spend on yourself,or something for the house. I told him I would spend it on something i wanted, I didnt know exacty what yet. lol at least i'll have a start on one.
I vacuum pack all my freeze-dried items. I also vacuum any fresh meat that I buy for storage in the freezer. Controls the freezer burn much better. Thanks for sharing Jon!
That is so cool. I’ve seen them and have heard nothing but good things about them. I use mason jar to store my items in, have put only a few things in Mylar. Hard to justify the cost, but the struggle between wanting and needing is real 😅
Thank you
Where do you get your meal pouches.

I love my Avid Armor usv32. Did you know you can seal bags outside of the chamber?
Thanks for watching, Yes I didn't mention that or the marinade feature, sorry. Avid Armor has a great reputation for quality products.
Curious would you consider using that sealer with the 3 seals with this for even more protection?
I don't think so, but it wouldn't hurt

Thanks for the tip!
I'm so jealous, I want one of those. Good for you though!!
Thanks

Do you have a way that it will not crush the food in your Mylar bag?
I just got this, but I would suggest using the lowest vacuum (1) and start there.

How in the heck do you vacuum seal a bag inside the freeze dryer? Never mind, don't answer I guess. I don't need to know cuz I won't do it.

I agree
yaaayyy!!!, Chamber sealers are Awesome!!! So Happy for You John!!!!
Do you know you can use your vacuum sealer to seal jars?
@@bbrhody831 I don't have this one. I've had a Vacmaster since 2016. But John did in fact show that you can seal mason jars with the attachments.
Thanks, I have always wanted one so I talked myself in to getting this one. LOL
Sorry. I meant freeze dryer!
I use freeze dryer to vacuum seal jars
Don't have any experience with any particular model, but a vacuum chamber is an incredibly useful appliance.
Great video
God bless you John🙏
Thank you kindly
