8x50 - 2 pack

I like to use my Food Saver vacuum sealer, but the bags are so expensive it kind of takes the "fun" out it. Every time I'd use a bag I kept thinking how much money it was costing me. So I searched for other options and I found these and they're great. They are the exact size I needed. The price is affordable so I don't hesitate to freeze as much as I want. I also purchased these because I wanted to try my hand at sous vide cooking and they are thick enough to do that. The rolls are large so they won't fit in most sealers, but I was able to lay the roll in the compartment to cut the bag. Much easier than using scissors. But even if I did have to use scissors, these bags (and the great price) are well worth purchasing.The bags seems to be of good quality. I had no problem sealing them. Time will tell if they hold their seal, but I don't expect them not to.The width of this bag is also the perfect size for me to freeze portion sizes of pasta sauce, chili, soups, etc. Because it's best to freeze liquids before vacuum sealing them, I discovered that the Glad containers are the perfect size for the 8" wide bags. The containers I use hold 25 oz, 3 1/8 cup. The inside space is 6" across, so after my food is frozen, I simply run warm water over the container enough to release the food, and then slip the frozen chunk into the food storage bag. (Be sure to wipe the top inside of the bag to remove any moisture before sealing.) I also use these containers to store cooked meats such as hamburger that I can thaw and use to quickly make tacos, sloppy joe's and chili. Because the food is frozen in a chunk, the bags don't lay flat like I'd like, but the ease of sealing them is a trade-off I can live with. I've also used smaller sized containers. Another reason I ordered the rolls was so I could size the length myself.The other advantage to using the containers to freeze items is that the bags don't get "greasy" from fat and oils, which makes reusing the bags impossible. The items go in frozen, and if you run water over the bag long enough to release the food you can easily reuse the bag! Just drop the frozen food into a container or bowl to thaw.I will enjoy using these bags for freezing and trying them out for sous vide cooking. I will definitely be ordering these bags again and again.

These were good. I have a commercial grade food sealer and these sucked magnificently.

I have purchased these bags several times now. After years of use with my FoodSaver brand sealer, this is my opinion.1. These bags are very high quality. They seem thicker than brand name bags, and the rolls are longer.2. The bags work well for vacuum sealing for extended storage.3. The bags work well for Sous Vide as well as pure 'boil in the bag' methods.The only "issue" with the bags is that since the rolls are so much longer, they will not fit into the sealer cavity when new. Until the roll is small enough, I just cut the bag to size before sealing. Sometimes I'll just take a bit off the roll and re-roll it and put it in the machine. I have also re-rolled onto saved cores. It's really not an issue and the bags are great to use.Don't hesitate on these. You won't be disappointed!

This is my second order of these rolls/bags. I found I was not getting as good a seal/vacuum for sous vide with my Weston Pro advantage as I liked. Decided to upgrade to Vacmaster Pro 350 as the sealer time was adjustable. Spent 2 days trying to figure out why I was having trouble with Vacmaster as well. The only way I can get the bags to seal on it are to go to setting 3 and create the seal with the smooth side on the heat strip. If the embossed side is down, seal failure and no vacuum. The seal is more "melted" looking and feeling, than the sample roll that came with the Vacmaster. Rolls worked well for freezing/storing left overs and price was good. These bags will work and are great value, just may have to find a way to get them to work for your application

These are really great rolls of freezer bags. I will NOT be buying name brand bag rolls again. Here's some further thoughts:Pros:- In my experience, these bags work just as good as Food Saver brand bag rolls. I have had no issues with poor bag seals like some other users have reported. Mine seal perfectly every time.- The cost is the main factor here. They run about half or less than the price of Food Saver bag rolls.- BPA free. We want to prevent as many chemicals form entering our food as possible. Yes, this is still plastic, but at least there isn't any BPA. Also, we don't use these to cook our meals. It does say microwave and boiling safe, but we elect to not use them in that manner.Cons:- The rolls are large and don't fit into our holder or machine. This isn't an issue for me. I don't really care because the savings outweigh this problem so substantially. What I plan to do is to save the inner tube from the first roll I empty, an then roll some of the bag material from a full roll onto the empty roll and cut it where I want it to fit into my storage compartment.Overall, I love these bags. They work just as good as the name brand, and they are less than half the price. I will be buying some of the 11" when my name brand runs out. You can't go wrong with these bag rolls and I can't recommend them high enough.I hope I have helped your purchasing decision of this product.
