Simple Houseware Vacuum Sealer Bags 11'' x 50' Sous Vide Roll, 2-Pack

Keep in mind that these rolls are very large. They will not fit inside most vacuum sealers. That makes them somewhat cumbersome to use. The fact is they do work well and you will have a lot of bags out of these 2 rolls. You just have to cut them first then use them as you would normally do. Highly recommended though.

I have an old-school Foodsaver - the plain white colored one that literally just seals. I handcut the size I need, seal one end - place food, then vacuum seal the other.When food shortages started the most comforting thing was home cooked meal. Often times ingredients aren't always available. Rather than go to several stores looking for what I need, I began to buy bulk cuts of meat or whatever food items were available. I also make extra meals to keep a stocked chest freezer and pantry. I needed to vacuum seal to extend storage life.The Foodsaver bags were expensive and I quickly ran out & decided to try these. I wouldn't say these are thinner - but they are more pliable and seem to vacuum seal more snugly around the food than the Foodsaver bags. It also didn't have as many sharp edges that the Foodsaver brand is prone to on some items.You get 2 rolls: 11" wide by 50' long. That's 100 feet for $22! Great price and BPA free. Each roll is continuous, sealed on each side and you cut to whatever size you want. One side is smooth and shiny, the other is textured - just like the Foodsaver brand. I'm not a fan of plastic directly on food and often use deli paper or parchment in-between. This doesn't seem to affect the vacuum sealing at all.The real test is how these will hold up in the freezer over time. A couple of my Foodsaver brand bags failed within a month...not sure why. This brand hasn't had any issues. I did notice if I didn't wait long enough between seals, it melted from the heat at the seam. That didn't happen if I just wait 20 seconds between seals.These bags seal nicely directly over food, food in packages like flour, tortillas, frozen veggies etc. I sealed several pounds of dried chickpea beans to put in the pantry, these bags really fit the bumpy contours of the beans. I also quick-freeze leftovers in take-out bowls like beef stew, curry, whole meals, then vacuum seal the whole bowl so anyone can just heat up a homemade meal in minutes. We no longer need takeout as there's always a home cooked meal in the freezer - we've already saved hundreds of dollars. I hope others can use vacuum sealing to keep their freezer stocked and reduce trips to the grocery stores. These bags are definitely a great price to get started. Also look for tips on vacuum sealing food on YouTube.**Update, some of the bags have lost their seal. No holes but seemingly a slow leak. I'd say it's 1% fail which is the same for Foodsaver brand.

I was a little hesitant to purchase these, I didn't know if they would be any good. Well they are very good. I have purchased probably 6 different types food saver bags in the past 2 years trying to find one that I liked more than the others. Well maybe this is the one. Every one that was cut did seal and no air leaked in later (even in the bags that I did not seal twice). There was ample room for the large loaves of bread to slide into the bags and when I stopped the vacuuming process and just sealed the bags sealed without a problem. Two months after sealing fruit breads the breads remain sealed and when I cut into them the product is fresh. The price of these bags make it even better, because they are less expensive than the other bags I have purchased in the past. I did a lot of baking at Christmas and have already used up one roll and am well into the second roll (yes I do bake that much sourdough bread and I give it to people at my church). Yes the clear side the material does seem to be of a more stiff cellophane, but it did not damage the product I put into it and when I give this product to others they can see it clearly and are pleased with the freshness that has been preserved. I think that perhaps I have found a product I will reorder more than twice especially if the price stays where it is at.Great product as far as I am concerned.ADDENDUM 9/7/2017 Have some difficulties with the bags sealing at the end of the roll. The last 2 or 3 feet are just difficult to impossible to seal sometimes and I have to toss it. I am glad it doesn't seal I have to admit, if it had a weak seal my food (bread and meat)would freezer burn, so it isn't that much of a biggy. I did need to add this. I still think this is a good product and will continue to buy.

We have ordered these bags many times. You get 2 big rolls. They work with our vacumn sealer very well. Get these!

These rolls of bags allow you to decide the size of bag for your food needs. They are perfect thickness and feel sturdy in freezer. They are easy to label and write on. We are pleased with this purchase.

Probably have used a dozen rolls (6 orders)..just a great, solid bag. Seals well, cut to any length. There is an embossed pattern that enables a vacuum sealer to evacuate air from deep in the bag (a smooth surface tends to seal near the end, leaving pockets 'un-evacuated'). Great value for money

I love this product, it works great in my food saver seal machine. I can cut it down to size or keep size as is. I buy in bulk so I break down my food easily and keeps away freezer burn.

These are great and the best value on the market.

Works well, good value.

tres bon produit qualité prix

J’envoie mes produits de tissage sous vide par la poste.Fonctionne super bien avec la Food Saver.

Product shipped fast. Harvested a bull elk this year and we cut all 4 quarters up at home and never even went through one 50 foot roll. Product worked great for packaging all of our elk meat!

We used pre-made vacuum bags for years before moving on to rolls and changing our Vac machine, something we should have done years ago.These rolls are strong and have a knurled side which helps maintain a stronger vacuum over time.Per unit, these rolls are also much much more economical than premade bags that have a vacuum hole.I can also cut the bags to size with these rolls, a big plus .
