    I've owned a vacuum sealer for DECADES and I'm ashamed I ever thought of using it in these ways! Thank you!!! Also, to vacuum seal soups, freeze the soup overnight in a container and then pop them out the next day and seal them in a bag. :)

    Great Idea. I seal all my meat. I have the food saver I bought several yrs ago that I used all the time then replaced when quit and my newer food saver has the gallon and quart size bags you reseal. Saves meat from freezer burn and also great Idea for people with kids. Thanks.

    After watching this video the other day, I purchased the vacuum sealer and with Amazon prime I have it already. With the 5% discount it was well worth the price. I don't know if I would have known that they made ones so light weight and easy to use if I hadn't seen your video. It is just my husband and me so when I want to seal some food items it is usually only a package or two. And I did just that today. I purchased some chicken parts. Some to use now for a stew and the rest to freeze. This little sealer worked great and in no time I had them sealed, marked and in the freezer. Oh, if I had a lot to freeze I would bring out my big food saver, but this does the trick for just a few items. And your ideas for fruit and veggies will save us money. Sometimes they go bad before I can use them all up. Now I need to order my Rada knives. I have several and they are the best.

    I have one of the large sealers and I never use because it is to big, to awkward for me to handle. All I ever wanted was something like this. I plan to check it out, I hope the reviews are good. Never thought about sealing some of the fruits and vegetables for snacks. Thanks.

      The same amount of time as it would if it were in the original packaging. So check the date and make a note. This is only sealed. Not vacuum sealed so this is not intended to prolong the shelf life of the product. Only make it easier for the person taking the lunch.

    • @NoreensKitchenOfficial
      @NoreensKitchenOfficial  4 роки тому +1

      You cannot vacuum seal liquid. So you are just sealing the bag not vacuum sealing. Your homemade smoothie will only last a couple days. This is not intended to prolong the shelf life of the item in the bag. Yogurt will last as long as is listed on the carton. Your smoothie will last much less time. Try vacuum sealing liquid and you will ruin your sealer.
