1825.0. "FOOD SAVER?????????" by WDEGLD::HALVERSON (Rogger Rabbit for President) Fri Jun 16 1989 12:56

    Has anyone heard of or used the "FOOD SAVER" which is a device similar
    to but much more elaborate than a Daisy seal a meal.  This food
    saver used to be advertised on cable tv and is can vacuum seal any
    kind of food for long storage times.  It also has attachments for
    vacuum sealing jars.   A local Kitchen store sells the unit which
    runs for around $300.  Any inputs would be appreciated..
    
    
    thanks   Steve

	Hi Steve, My husband bought this new toy about two months ago. I will admit that it is a good thing to have around. We do alot of camping and it has been excellent for freezing and storage of leftovers and specially prepared meals. You just have to pop the bags in boiling water or clip a corner of the bag and nuke it. No mess, no trouble. The bags are expensive; 8" x 25 ft and 10" x 25 ft for $10 and $12. The good thing is these are reusable. Just wash and reseal. I have found absolutely nothing wrong with the machine or bags. We just started using jars so I can't give you any information on those yet. Food does last much longer in these just as the ads have said. Hope this helps. Barbara
