SealVax 3-Mini Vacuum Bags

I love these for sliced fruits & veggies so they won't turn while sin the bags. The price seems outrageous, but maybe in time the price will come down, like how DVD players used to be hundreds of dollars and now they're like $20. I hope these will come down as well. Bags are never the easiest things to wash, but to use the vacuum function it's worth it to reuse, plus they cost a small fortune.

These work wonders for someone who has just become vegetarian. It keeps my veggies so fresh and they taste fresh as well when you remove your veggies.

Personally, I feel the bags are a little awkward to get the hang of. Like they're over-complicated. Once you get the hang of it, it does work and can be used with my iphone. But the included bags were very small, and when I looked to buy the larger bags, I felt it was a bit cost-prohibitive. I think there are better options. I will say, though, that the bags are very sturdy.

Does a GREAT job sucking that air out... TRULY suprised it does as good a job as larger ones!

This set of sous vide bags works great! I had my doubts when I looked at the little gadget that would suck the air out of my bags. But it worked, it removed all the air, and the bag stayed sealed and air-free during the cooking process. The bags are durable and should last a long time. Photos and video attached.

However. After cooking and washing up, the bags retain the lumpy shape of the shrink wrapped foods due to the heat in the sous vide cooker. Also, the bags hold the odor of the food and stain easily. Even plain potatoes left yellowish spots in the material - and still smells like potatoes. In my opinion, that means I need to have bags dedicated to specific foods if they have strong scents. I'm not sure that's cost effective.
