(50) 6”x10” SteelPak Textured/Embossed Mylar Aluminum Foil Vacuum Sealer Bags – Quart Size Hot Seal Commercial Grade Food Sealer Bags for Food Storage and Sous Vide (50, 6x10)

I use these to store Hops in the freezer. 6"x10" can be cut in two in order to make two smaller bags. These work perfectly on a Foodsaver vacuum sealer.

These work with my Food Saver vacuum sealer. They protect the food from uv damage and they are more durable than poly bags.

I bought many different brands and types initially, and this is the only type (mylar with texture) and brand that works in my high-end vacuum sealer. I've re-purchased these several times in all sizes and run about 500, won't buy anything else again. It took me a while to get good at this also, many technique tricks to learn to get it right. It's imperative that the bag is clean on the inside at the seal point (no food dust or salt or grease or such, so I run my fingers once around the inside margin for dusty or fine foods); that the bag, because it is thin and not rigid, is perfectly flat and even from the outside all the way to the vacuum chamber (I put it in a little more than I need, close the lid, then grab at both sides and pull sideways and out a quarter inch to smooth any wrinkles); that the bag is not over-full, not filled so much that as it shrinks it pulls towards the center at the top edges (at the seal line), which causes wrinkles and therefore seal failure; and if there's any indication of wrinkles on the seal line after the first seal, then I run a second half an inch up. My only persistent issue with these is that they're delicate (thin) and can puncture when sealing anything sharp (grains, nuts, granola, other hard and dry items) or if not very careful in handling after sealing, so even when I'm able to achieve close to a 100% success rate in the sealing process, I still have a varying failure rate (with some foods) with leaks not at the top seal. One way to deal with this is to keep product in the original package, tear off a corner to unseal, and then leave the original package in as a protective/insulating layer. They're also not completely light-proof, and only time will tell if they're oxygen-resistant also and will preserve as the thicker bags promise to. I'd rather give this 3 or 4 stars for absolute performance (it's far from perfect), but for relative performance it gets 5.

I bought these for preserving extra hops for brewing, they worked well enough but on my Foodsaver I found that the seal did not fully seal, some would fill with air immediately, some took a couple hours. I found that the "wet" seal function was able to seal the bag on the first attempt. I also had success with sealing dry then opening the unit and closing it quickly and sealing again, effectively double-sealing the same spot to get more heat into the bag. After a week all but one bag was still fully sealed.

Worked perfectly with my FoodSaver vacuum sealer. I'm very happy about that.

Bags seal properly with the standard Geyron vacuum sealer and I would think would also with comparable sealers on the market. Bags are textured on one side to aid in the air removal, not sure about the thickness, they seem to be as thick as other "plain" mylar bags. Very pleased with the product.

A freeze dryer is a big investment, not for everybody. But if you've taken the plunge and plan to vaccum seal (particularly meats), it's important to have the right supplies. My research early on indicated that to do so, texured, embossed bags work best. After shopping online, I found these to be the best product at the best price, have been using them since and will continue to do so. RECOMMEND.

Are use these for storing ammunition among other things that I want to keep dry, they work well they seal well they’re able to draw a good amount of vacuum. Overall they are a great purchase and I would recommend to anyone who wants to vacuum seal important items.

Good
