Food Saver Vacuum Sealer (V2480) Review

   The Food Saver Vacuum Sealer is AWESOME!!!

Product Rundown:

"Remove oxygen around food and you radically slow down spoilage and deterioration. FoodSaver home vacuum packaging systems offer a two-step process of removing air and sealing it out, so that your food stays fresh up to five times longer than conventional storage methods.

By keeping food fresh you eliminate freezer burn. Meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit will stay fresh in the freezer for months, even years. Make an entire plate of food or vacuum package last night's pizza to eat months later. The taste difference between just-cooked meals and leftovers will be indistinguishable when you vacuum package and freeze.

Cheese stays fresh in the refrigerator for months and produce will stay fresh for weeks. Dry goods and snacks won't become stale or tasteless when you vacuum package and store in the pantry. A full range of FoodSaver accessories let you keep almost all foods fresh longer in the freezer, refrigerator and pantry.

Since food lasts longer, you can lower your food bill by buying in bulk or when your favorite foods are in season, and not worry about throwing out wasted food. You can even shop less frequently and still always have fresh food on hand.

With FoodSaver, you will:

• Extend the freshness of food.
• Eliminate freezer burn.
• Keep moist foods from drying out.
• Protect dry foods like brown sugar from getting hard.
• Keep foods high in fats and oils from going rancid.
• Marinate meat and fish in minutes.
• Protect collectibles and other non-food items from aging and corrosion.

* Please note: vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning, refrigeration or freezing.

FoodSaver Appliances have a unique, patented design used in millions of households. Vacuum packaging is a two-step process of vacuuming and sealing. The powerful piston pump removes air quickly and creates a commercial-quality vacuum. The patented Vacuum Channel is designed with an extra-deep trough to catch overflow liquids and protect your appliance. The Sealing Strip has an easy-clean Non-stick Coating to seal the bag with a strong, airtight seal.

FoodSaver Bags have a design so unique it's been patented. Special channels enable the efficient and complete removal of air so none is left trapped in "pockets" around the food. Their 5-ply construction makes them an especially effective barrier to oxygen and moisture. FoodSaver Bags are proven to prevent freezer burn better than leading freezer bags. Plus they are boilable, microwavable and resealable.

FoodSaver Canisters are designed for vacuum packaging dry goods, liquids and crushable items. A vacuum valve enables air removal. The special lid gasket keeps the canister sealed airtight and an Accessory Hose easily connects the canister to the FoodSaver Appliance.

FoodSaver Accessories such as Bottle Stoppers, Universal Lids and Jar Sealers are great for storing all kinds of food, including wine, in their original containers and keeping it fresh up to five times longer."

   This product works wonderfully! I LOVE SAVING MONEY! It does everything that the site states!

   It is pricey, especially an initial starter package sytem, but if you break down the cost of how much food you waste each year, the Food Saver pays for itself in half a year!

   I highly recommend getting the full system with the canisters and jar sealers, even if you can only purchase the pieces a little at a time. You won't be sorry!

   You can find the Food Saver at Walmart, Bass Pro (the game processing version is awesome for hunters!) and most other department stores that carry kitchen appliances, as well as online.
