My First Vacuum Sealer
My purpose with this website is to help readers gain information and answer questions about vacuum sealing. I also hope to learn new things myself.
All of my vacuum sealing experience has been with a Food Saver Vacuum Sealing System, so I can’t evaluate others. I can say, however, that I am very satisfied with the Food Saver V4400 Vacuum Sealing System that I still have.
Capabilities
It has the capability to remove air from the bag or container and then heat seal a variety of sizes and shapes of bags. The jars, bottles and containers are sealed as a result of creating a vacuum, but are not heat sealed.
Accessories
A tube attachment can be used to seal regular and wide-mouth canning jars and wine bottles (requires additional accessories), as well as special zipper-type bags. I have seen cautions, however, that warn the vacuum sealing of canning jars is not a substitute for canning involving heat and pressure, which also act to sterilize the jars, lids, and contents.
There are a variety of other accessories for storage and marinating. Sealed items can be kept at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen, depending on the contents, and there are multiple uses for protecting and storing non-food items.

If I have piqued your interest at all, you can find more information on vacuum sealing machines by viewing my review of the Model V4400, 2 – In – 1 Food Saver Vacuum Sealer: just click here.
I would like to hear tips and hacks from you to share with all readers, too. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Best wishes, and have a great day!!!
