Vacuum Sealer Bags - Commercial Grade Bags - Works with Sous Vide -BPA Free - 100 Quart Bags 8x12 Inch

These came in the mail just a few days ago, so I was waiting to review them until I had tried them. I make all kinds of smoked meats, and this week's project was pulled pork. I divided it into 1 lb portions, and sealed it in these bags. I can tell you several things from this. 1) These bags work perfectly with my Seal-A-Meal vacuum sealer. 2) The bags are great for much bigger portions than I thought they would be, which is great! 3) They've been in the freezer for several days now, frozen solid, and the bags definitely don't seem to be splitting, cracking, tearing, etc. as another commenter mentioned. I have already put these on my re-order list, even though I've only used 20 of them. The price is great, and the bags seem to be of good quality.

I'm new to the vacuum seal universe and having pre-cut bags is a lot faster compared to 'Make Your Own Bag' from a roll, especially when buying bulk at my local membership warehouse club and need to make dozen or so bags back to back. I have a scale and portion out the amount for a single meal, and put it in the bag, repeat until done. They seem a little thinner than the 'Foodsaver' brand sold by the manufacturer of the machine, but half the price and they do the job just fine. I save the roll to make my own size bags for the odd sized item, but for speed of making 15 - 20 bags at a time after getting home from the membership club, is faster to just grab a new bag each time. I got the 100 bags as a test, they passed and will get more and even in different sizes. They have a textured side and a smooth side, compared to Foodsaver brand bags have texture on both sides of interior or bag, the texture makes bags feel thicker. I find its easier to write on the smooth side with a felt tip permanent marker (like a sharpie) the contents and date sealed.

We bought these in January and just finished the lot of 100 quart sized bags. We grind our own ground beef and package them in 1.5 lb packages; these bags held the seal and did not leak. Just returned from Florida and brought back a selection of shrimp, scallops and fish which we froze and sealed as well. We own 2 small chest size freezers that we store our sealed products in; we use the majority of our foods within 6 - 9 months with very little (less than 3%) loss of seal. These bags work as well as any others we've bought and their price beats the rest we've tried.

I like the product and the price. Functions well with no leaks after using dozens of the bags. However, with increasing frequency, I'm finding bags that are sealed at both ends. One end has the proper seal but the other end isn't so much a seal but it seems like the cutters were off. As a result, I have to trim off about 1/8 of an inch of the bag to be able to open it. Doesn't take long but an unnecessary hassle nonetheless.

I've only used five bags so far - using with a FoodSaver2000 - and they have worked as wonderfully and perfectly as the FoodSaver brand bags and the Ziploc bags I've used already. They are a good thickness, they vacuum up well, and the seals are quite tight. I did my first bag just a week ago, so time will tell how they hold up now that they're in the freezer, but my initial impression is one of satisfaction at the quality, and even more satisfaction at the quality/$. As you probably know, the name brand bags are quite expensive, so I'm finding that having a much cheaper option makes freezing food even more cost-effective. If anything changes, I'll come back and add a note here. If you don't see any additions to this review below, then you know I'm still satisfied.

Being a spendthrift I tried the baggie method and while it did work (so so) it took so much extra time and I would have failures that did not show up till much later. I found that with these I could seal up my items in a third of the time and have yet to have a failure so that saves me money. Dont scrimp out spend a little and save even more money and what is your time worth

We have been using the Vacuum bags for years. so much easier than having to cut a roll to seal something. These bags have been working well and I wanted to pass this on to anyone that was looking for a great bag at an even greater price. My wife makes a lot of different soups and then we freeze it in smaller containers. The next day we place it in the Vacuum bags which keeps it in perfect condition.

I love using a vacuum sealer. I always buy the rolls, but got these gems on a great add on deal. Perfect size, and since one side is already sealed it saves time and use of your vacuum sealer motor. Lasts well in the freezer, and keeps the vacuum seal intact.
