The FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer helps you save money on groceries AND keep your food fresher longer.
Plus, it's on sale at a price lower than what we bought ours for... so I thought I'd share what I like about the FoodSaver. Specifically, the Vac 800 model -- it's the best one I've seen to date.
In a nutshell: By sealing out the air when storing leftovers or fresh meats, you are making your foods last longer in the refrigerator or freezer.
We've had our Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer for nearly 2 years now, and we use it all the time!
Most Popular Uses
Here are the ways that we use the FoodSaver:
NOTE: Chips are not "vacuum-sealed" to remove the air from the bag (that would crush the chips); instead, chip bags are permanently sealed to keep MORE air from reaching your chips! The FoodSaver gives you both options.
There are literally HUNDREDS more ways to use the FoodSaver. The kit itself comes with a booklet that lists all the ways to save on your grocery bill by ultimately prolonging the life of your food. In addition, there's a really active FoodSaver group that posts ideas and answers any questions you might have. I found some interesting tips and ideas there when I first got mine.
Will You Actually Use It?
My biggest fear initially was that I'd be buying this contraption that would just sit there and take up space on my countertop. You know, much like a new treadmill or weight machine... it eventually becomes a dust-collector, despite your best intentions.
But, to this day, we STILL use the FoodSaver on a weekly (sometimes daily!) basis. Mostly because... it's so SIMPLE to use. It takes just a matter of seconds for any food you wish to vacuum seal.
And it's not an eyesore. The FoodSaver is low-profile enough to blend right into your kitchen decor. Plus, it's a soft ivory color.
