stick vacuum Ziploc Vacuum Bags?

In article < This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it says... Here's a very inexpensive trick I sometimes use to vacuum seal Ziploc bags (YMMV!)

Instead of an electric- or battery-powered gizmo, I use a drinking straw - usually the sort that bends, but that's beside the point. Any drinking straw will work. After pushing most of the air from the plastic storage bag, I'll insert one end of the straw to the side/end of the ziploc bag so it's just below the 'zip locks' and close/seal the bag all the way to the inserted straw. Then, I'll suck as much leftover air from the ziploc bag through the straw (please, no vulgar, obscene & otherwise unfriendly comments!!!). While maintaining that 'vacuum', I'll withdraw the straw and quickly close that little bit of the 'zip' lock for a full seal. I hope this makes sense? Sky Yeah, that's what I do. And after reading the different reviews I think I might stick to it. Scotty Just check the sucked-out bags in the freezer now and then - most of the regular bags won't hold the vacuum for very long. N. In your experience, do the ziplock vacuum bags? I only ask because I have seen mixed reviews in my research. Really about 50/50 for the reports of success and failure. Scotty- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - An occasional one won't, but for the most part, they do. I've never had a regular Ziploc hold the vacuum for more than a week. (And if you put liquid in them, most of them leak.) N.

stick vacuum Ziploc Vacuum Bags?

I just saw a Ziploc vacuum bag at Target. Have any tried these? This is a lot less expensive than the other vacuum devices mentioned here.http://www.ziploc.com/?p=b10 I buy regular ziploc bags in bulk at Costco. When my wife isn't looking the beef goes into the bag and I suck the air out. Then into a non-frost free freezer. It works very well for us.. Kent I have one that I picked up at a discount store for $5 and the bags for $2.50 a box. I've used it maybe 3 or 4 times in the year I've had it, to pack up leftover turkey, subdivide a 5# pack of hot dogs, and a roast I cooked ahead and froze. Used it on some of the excess veggies from the CSA last summer. What I've used has been unfreezerburnt, and very handy since there's just the two of us now and a quart bag holds enough to make a couple meals. But it's no better than wrapping the stuff in plastic wrap, which also can be wrapped tightly enough to keep the air out. maxine in ri I like Glad Press 'n Seal - freezer version - for wrapping flat (without a vacuum). It works a treat. N.

I just saw a Ziploc vacuum bag at Target. Have any tried these? This is a lot less expensive than the other vacuum devices mentioned here. http://www.ziploc.com/?p=b10 Though I have a Tilia-like vacuum sealer, I use Ziploc bags for smaller quantities. I originally used the Reynolds bags and battery-operated sealer for small jobs; but, when Reynolds discontinued their product, I picked up a box of the Ziploc bags to use with my Reynolds sealer - works great. I left a message with Ziploc marketing about the potential for adding Reynolds users and they sent me a coupon to pick up one of their sealers at no cost. I am very pleased with the Ziploc product, it works even better than the Reynolds bags, with either the Reynolds of Ziploc sealer. I use it for small quantities of frozen food as well as providing for refrigerator items, such as cheese.
