The extra hassle is worth the money saved... and the bags are big enough that you can use them 2-3 times (freeze beans on year, then peas the next!)Organized Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163139470630574081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776534327194644672.post-40187096198600123522010-03-11T02:13:37.360-06:002010-03-11T02:13:37.360-06:00mom2fur,

If you are sealing meat, put a rolled up piece of paper towel at the top to absorb the juices--then they won't get into the 'works' of the machine.<br />2. If you are storing something you will reopen and use several times, make the bag extra long. That way you can just cut it and reseal the same bag as you go along.Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.com
