What brand of vacuum sealer bags.

[ssennott]

I received a Vacuum sealer for xmass I need to purchase a roll for 11” wide bags are there any brands that are preferred or better for sous vide or freezing?

ssennott I also got a new sealer (Avid Armour). I purchased from here based on recommendations from the Pit.

Lots of choices. I am waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime, I have been using the included bags and they are great. Bonus: I can still use the remaining food saver brand as well.

I’m trying to find what I ordered last. They are ok for freezing but when I use them in sous vide they leave a film of glue like stuff on the surface of the water that is a pain to clean off of and out of everything.

Foodsaver 11" rolls are the ones I use. Buy a couple rolls from them for now and sign up for the emails on their site. Once or twice a year they have 30%+ sales and you can buy a few boxes to stock up. I also like to keep handy a box of their expandable bags for larger cuts. Don't bother with the "resealable'' type bags or pre-sized bags, just get 11" rolls

I buy the cheapest ones in rolls from Amazon. They work the same as all the others.

We use a lot of vacuum sealer bags. We buy these off brand bags in boxes of 8-25 ' rolls. Use then for freezer and sous vide up to 190º for hours. Never had a problem with then leaking.

Foodsaver , you can order directly from their website. They always seem to have deals and free shipping at a certain level.

Kirkland brand from Costco. They work great.

This is what we buy on Amazon, inexpensive, and they seem to work well. 11in x 150ft roll that comes in it's own storage box with cutter.

I'm going to try these when my current supply runs out. I really like that built-in cutter idea.

[ssennott]

Thanks everyone for your sugestions.

I have been buying these bags for use with my Foodsavr. The biggest issue is the roll is too big to fit inside the Foodsavr until I use about half of the bag material, so I just cut what I need with scissors until that point.

What I like about these is they are expandable, and I have no issue vacuum sealing things like a brisket or a big slab of ribs.

I only use this for the big stuff, but they are good to have. Been working on the last roll for a couple of years. Aside from these, I have only used Foodsavr brand bags that I bought at Sam's Club. But all I have at the moment is the big expandable roll, and I have frozen and sous vide a lot of stuff with it.
