Great job! A rather short video with a lot of useful information. My machine has been in storage for years and I completely forgot how to use it. I am confident now. Thanks

I have this very same model. I buy food in bulk, and this vacuum sealer allows me to prefeserve foods far longer than using standard freezing methods. Not too long ago, I had a steak that I had put away two years ago. After allowing it to thaw in my fridge, I cooked it on my grill. It tasted very fresh. Looking at the current cost of food nowadays, I'm pleased that I've used the Food Saver to preserve my foods.

Welcome, guy who just bought a Food Saver Vacuum. We were all also too lazy to read the manual.

We just bought a food saver and your video was SO MUCH easier than trying to make sense if the instructions!! Thank you!!

After you cut a bag press the seal button and it will seal the bottom for your next bag.

Again; an informative, to-the-point, video from someone who has used it for some time and can comment on previous results. Thank you.

Awesome, informative, to-the-point, video! I've got the same model as a Christmas gift from me dad; now I can store the cuts I butcher legitimately!

Great video! Showed it to my parents (English is their second language) and they were able to follow your instructions.

FYI, that white strip along the side of the roll can be used with a regular ink pin to label date/contents instead of using a sharpie.

I just bought this Food Saver sealer and your demo is very helpful for beginners! Thank you!!

Thank you for this video. I just bought one of these at a yard sale and didn’t know how to use it. It didn’t come with an instruction manual so when I first tried to use it I thought it was broke. Your video was a big help thanks a lot.

Thanks for the demo, I just got one to stock up on food now with the supply chain issues. Great jog explaining how it works.

Thank you! When I read the info that came with mine it was overwhelming since I do not like technical reading. You made it so easy. We love it!

Hi Amy, I just got this unit, a new box of the 11 inch 2 roll packs & extra pre-sized bags from a friend. I have owned 2 Foodsavers for more then 10+ years. Found one at a Thrift Store for $15 once (still got it). I also have a Cuisinart vacuum sealer (caught sale at Macys). Yes these are so needed. I use them to assist some Seniors in my community & re-pack food into smaller bags. Thanks for sharing, Rhonda

Amazing that yours works. Mine is such a piece of junk. It's a higher end Foodsaver & it worked for a while, on & off. I kept thinking I wasn't doing it right, so I'd go on KZfaq and THEY couldn't get it to work. I bought all kinds of rolls & bags & spent a fortune. You're one of the lucky ones if yours works consistently. I just got it out to try to freeze some TJs frozen french fries. Nothing I could do to make it work. I held it this way & that way & changed bags & rolls. Nothing made it worked. It just made the noise like it was. I held onto this piece of garbage too long to be able to return it. It's going in the trash.

Thanks for the informative video. You made it look very simple. Unlike the instruction manual...

Dang that is so easy I had no idea. A friend gave me one 3 years ago and it's been in the closet the whole time. Not any longer though. Great video, quick and to the point.

You made everything seem so simple in comparison to the manual! Thanks for this

Great video - I loved "I thought it was broken" line!

Best demo I’ve seen on correct usage. Thank you!

Thank you Amy , I bought the 1 quart Food Saver and you were my instructor..

This is a very good machine to have. This way, food conserves better because you avoid the burning cold air that remains in the normal bags.

Idk if you still read the comments but this helped so much understand as a visual learner

This video is exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks!

Thankyou ma'am! We used your video to solve a problem we were having! Almost gave up.

I couldn't figure out the instructions, this video was so much better.

Thanks for the video. I hate reading instructions and I just bought my food saver last night.

Good video! After watching it just once, I was able to go to my machine and successfully seal my food for the freezer. Thanks!

We have the FoodSaver FM3900 and the instructions are poor - yours really helped. Thank you very much!!

Thanks Amy. That was very helpful. I couldn't figure out how to do it with the instructions that came with the machine.

Just bought one at Costco, model FM 2900. Thanks for the video.

Thank you! your video is much clear than the factory's web video!

Thanks! I don't know why it didn't work the first time because I did the exact same thing but after I watched your video it worked! 😂

Thanks, this was much better than diving into the instructions.

Thank you. The manual didn’t give much info so this really helped

I just packed 150 pounds of pork chops with mine. It’s the first time I ever used it , the thing kicks ass

She is a great wife and mom,she loves her family!

Thanks for sharing I just got one from Costco and I’m trying to learn how to use it.

Thank you! But for 4 pieces of chicken like the one you used as an example, I would have used almost half of the amount of bag you used.

Thank you i was looking to get one for packaging Deer steaks,but had no clue on how to use one ,,Now i DO!!

Thanks so much for the clear instructions!

Thank you so much, MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR🤶🎅🎉🎊🎄🕊☘

Excellent video Amy! Concise and informative.

I like how most folk buy this for food then there's me i bought it for ammo

Great the part of her cutting the bag she skips smfh !! That’s why I was here for

Thanks. I received one for Christmas and your video helped a lot.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for all information!

Thanks for the demo! Appreciate it!

Great tip. Has been very helpful. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you! This was very helpful. The instructions that came with my machine were not very good. I love your kitchen! Can you share the name of your granite and backsplash?

Chicken vacuum sealed & frozen will actually last 2 to 3 years in the freezer.Steak , mince stew sausages etc vacuum sealed & frozen will last 3 yrs in the freezer.

Thank you so much! You helped me so much today!

I just received a vacuum sealer which I purchased and will soon be using it to seal the food I want to put in the freezer until I am ready to cook it. I like the part where it can even remove air from jars also, but I may not be using that since I have a canning machine to put away fruit in and other items also.

Hello, can you tell me if all the air is absolutely sucked out when you vacuum seal your foods? Mine always seems to have tiny pockets of air. PS Thanks for your video. It was super helpful.

Thanks for the video. Just ordered a FSVS for us to use.

Gotta bag up a pound. You're a LIFEsaver

Yes. There is a way to put liquid items in. They must be dried or frozen first. You didn't mention that.

I just so happened to watch somebody else that was demonstrating how to make bags and that person didn't realize as well that you can press the seal button before you insert the bag in this way you're not making it go into vacuum sealing mode and then quickly cancel out of it.

I spent countless hours looking for a vacuum sealer with REAL DEMO of the BAG CUTTER because I struggled with it and apparently I am not the only one because the BAG CUTTER SUCKS!! The perfect equivalent analogy is trying cutting scissors without fingers. Every video on YT has been edited to exclude the bag cutter so I am assuming kitchen shears is best since it doesn't work?

thank you for your help

Great video thanks!

Thank you for the video!

Thank you great job!

TY, very helpful! Aloha!

I love you for the info! Thank you so much!

Great information. Thanks very much.

Does it matter whether the rough side or the Smooth side is face down?

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

Curious if one could space out two pork chops and have them sealed separately, so I could just cut one out and the second one would still be sealed? Hope that made sense.

Does the food being sealed have to be a little frozen before putting in bag??

Thank you for the video! It helped.

I’ve had mine for years and never used. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial

just received my new food saver, FM2400 series. Put roll in, cut a bag, placed bag in to be sealed could not get the lever to operate position. Plugged in outlet is working what am I doing wrong?

my dad said hey seal the steaks with this thing while im out im like uhhh thx for help

Thank you! Thank you!🤗

Good job mama!

Hello…how would you use your sealer if you are going to sous vide something?

So both sides are open when you first put the bag in so how do you seal the other side

Thank you!

Hi…. So, what is the model? I dont think it was mentioned in the video.

Thanks for the demo

Hello. Can I use this for sealing soups, and sauces, or will it dehydrate my liquid ? 🙏 thank you in advance

great info i have one as well and will be doing a video about mine 👍🏾👍🏾

If you have those chicken breasts already sealed in the plastic, why not just keep them all in the package to have that extra seal of plastic and then put them through the food sealer? Since I always use all of them at once, I just keep them sealed in the store bought package, and then seal them in a food sealer bag. it is less time consuming and frustrating when everything is more even. Recently, all the store had was 5 and 3 pound rolls of ground beef, so of course I have to separate the beef into patties or sections and then put them in the foodsaver. But just to be even extra safe, I then put those in the freezer ziploc bags. Does anyone else do the above, or get what I am saying? When you use the foodsaver, you should be able to store beef up to 2 years, versus 6 months.

Great tutorial... Thank you!

Thanks for the instructions video!

Excellent video! Thanks!

do you have a link to where you grabbed that from & the bags great video

Please tell ppl to wash and reuse ur bags, Ziploc bags too. Keeps them out of our landfills. Of course, for potlucks and gifts u want to use new bags. I've been doing this ever since Ziploc was produced (yes, I'm that old) and have never had a problem.

I just bought same one or close to it...im want to know what that little thing is on top right.

Thank you

Mahalo! This was so helpful!

great video

Can anyone tell me what the little green/clear bottle is for on the side?

Can you use these bags for liquids such as soups and sauces? I am looking to freeze these types of items then pull out when needed and put in boiling water to heat up.

Thank you.

Once frozen, do the chicken breasts still develop that annoying frost within the bag?

What model foods average do you have?
