Jan often seals up meat for the freezer with maranade in the bag so the meat is ready for the barbque as soon as it is thawed.
I have tried sealing up flares for the dinghy but the bags always leaked. Now I use Lock-n-Lock containers and they don't leak.

So far, we have used it to vacuum pack coffee beans and nuts in FoodSaver VacLoc bags. We will have a small freezer aboard and expect the Food Saver would be useful for bagging and freezing meal portions of fresh fish or fresh/cooked meats once we begin cruising. We would appreciate hearing any of your suggestions for making good use of this technology. Here are some of the questions we have -Has anyone used the marinator "square cannister" accessory? -How about the "freshpak" filters to help keep produce fresh longer? -What size bags (pint or quart) are most useful for your needs? -If you prefer using Mason jars, why do you find them preferable? -Any problems with the process that you have had? -Best source for mail ordering the bags? Thanks for your suggestions and reports of your experiences. Marilyn Lange Philip & Marilyn Lange AE4OV & KD4JRC, ORYOKI Witness 35 Catamaran
