Air Transport of Vacuum Sealed Food
Comments (11)This brings back memories... A friend in Alaska sent me some Amish Friendship bread starter in the mail. Different issue of course since it was fermenting! But I open my mailbox and found a small box entirely soaked through with gooey, fermented fruit! I opened it and found a Rubbermaid type plastic container had exploded and the fruit and juices were everywhere! I peeled her 2 page letter from the mess and could read both sides because it had become translucent. Yuck. I don't think I'd risk it. I sure wouldn't vacuum seal them. I think just a double bagged ziploc would be fine. Pickles keep unrefrigerated pretty well! Not optimal, of course, but if you overnighted it.... Maybe call the airlines and see if they even allow it and what advice they might have. Seems like they would do fine in the pressurized cabin, but not sure about cargo area. Can you send some cukes on ice and the recipe? Interesting question. Hopefully someone has actually done it and will respond. Deanna...See MoreDeni JarVac Vacuum Sealer
Comments (0)What do you think of this product? Can I freeze soups in it? Deni JarVac Vacuum Sealer Model: 1200 The Deni JarVac Vacuum Sealer has patented technology that reseals and vacuum packs food in its original glass jar or container. It will also marinate food in minutes. Just place the jar under the Deni JarVac dome and within seconds the jar will be vacuum sealed. The vacuum is held in place by using the rubber seal underneath the jars original lid. Every time a jar is reopened, a "pop" will sound, indicating the airtight seal has been released. Food will stay fresh up to five times longer than conventional food storage methods. The Deni JarVac includes three universal lids for turning glass jars, containers or bowls into vacuum packed storage containers. A Bottle Saver is also included for vacuum sealing wine, oils and dressings right in their own bottles. Features: Commercial quality vacuum sealer. Vacuum seal food in its original jar. Vacuum seal food in mason jars. Use universal lids to vacuum seal in glass bowls or jars. Use the Bottle Saver to vacuum seal bottles. Great for keeping soups, sauces, salsa and condiments fresh.

Comments (4)I'm a Food Saver fan, too. Have NEVER had a new one... all from yard sales or thrift stores. When I bought the first, new to me, unit... after asking if it WORKED (and being assured that it did), asked WHY they were selling it. Seller said she got it because the commercials convinced her she'd save a ton on "family size" packages of meat. When it became apparent to her that a big package of chicken (in nothing more than supermarket packaging) had NO real chance of getting freezer burned in a household with 2 adults and 2 TEEN boys, she quit using it. I'm cooking for 1, so the FS is perfect for me. A typical package of boneless/skinless chicken breasts usually consists of 3-4 BIG pieces... WAY more than I want for dinner... even considering left-overs for lunch. Same with ground meat... smallest packages usually about a pound... too much for one person. I find packages between 1 & 1.5 lbs and vac seal half for later. A half to 3/4 lb is plenty for make something like chili for me. Have found a LOT of their canisters. Like them for DRY stuff that won't necessarily go bad, but will get stale. Found sometimes seal fails... and I'll find the teeniest of crack (on bottom)... at that point the piece is pretty much shot for vac sealing. I LOVE that thing that lets you seal in Mason jars! It's NOT to replace canning, but is great for little pastas, rice, beans, grains. Can be opened and resealed several times... as long as ya don't dent/bend lid. Would work great for storing herbs/spices/rubs. Would love to find LARGE Mason jars... like GALLON size, if they even make that big?? Early this summer, I made MAJOR yard sale finds on FS stuff. Combined total from 2 different sales... well over 50$ worth of bags and rolls to make bags AND a FS unit (called something like Deluxe Game-something & priced on Amazon for something like $139)... for $10! I have never seen the bags ever go "on sale" anywhere, so now I'm set for a good long time....See Morevacuum seal foods with liquids
Comments (2)We usually put juicy things in a zip lock bag and close all but a tiny bit of the zipper. Then we put the zippy in the sealing bag with the zipper opposite the end to be sealed. The machine pulls the air out of the inner bag and seals before the juices escape and get to the machine. This works with things like very juicy cuts of meat or berries that would release juice with pressure but I doubt it would work on something very wet like stew or sauce. Sometimes we freeze food before sealing it so that it will not be squashed by the sealer. That might work best for your gravies and such. Is there some reason you don't want to do that? Otherwise, I think the manufacturer recommends that you use those ridiculously expensive canisters they sell....See Moreemma
