Keeping berries and delicate leaf vegetables fresh for more than 3 days used to be a problem, but not anymore!! I received this starter it as a Mother's Day gift. I've kept berries and spinach for two weeks in the glass containers. The plastic resalable bags have kept cookies and chips fresh, and I have used them to freeze cooked foods for use later. SO easy to use...cuts down on package waste as well as food waste.
I am still getting used to it and determining types of food with which it works best. I have better luck with the glass containers, and would appreciate more size varieties with that. Also trying to figure out best way to cleanse the bags, especially to remove odors. SInce I am still on a learning curve, it is adding more steps to my every day chores instead of reducing them.
I prefer to store in glass because I can freeze it and if I need to I can reheat in it. This is a perfect set, it has all that you need to get started. And it is so simple to use this preservation system, you'll be amazed. One extra benefit with the glass containers is that you can quick marinate in them also. So many ways to use this system. Once you work this into your cooking, you'll find many uses!
Pleased with ease of use. Vacuum small for countertop and efficient. Both bags and containers are well made and will last. Additional bags available, too.
I never thought I would be converted to vacuum sealing everything in my refridgorator because all the vacuum sealing systems I'd seen before are big and take up so much space with all the accessories, but I decided to give it a try since this system was compact and reusable. I can't believe how fresh my vegetables and fruit stay when I put them into the bags and vacuum seal them! I am amazed at how quiet the sealer is and the battery life is great.
For anyone who thought they would never give vacuum sealing a shot, this is the system that will convert you!
THIS is the best little gadget I've ever had! I've used those clunky food savers but such a pain to operate and store. I really love the glass containers since I'm not a fan of plastic but the bags work fine too. My daughter and I meal prep together for lunches and this little handheld rocks! The battery power lasts a really long time and it's so cute and small it stays out in full view on my counter.. love when the 2 guys light up :) Hubby may want to meal prep too but he will have to wait until I buy more containers!!
I LOVE this set so much. I can't express how much everyone needs this. It is so easy to use. I simply put the vacuum sealer on and press a button. It automatically shuts off. The bags work with sous vide and are dishwasher safe. I can store the glass containers on the counter or in the fridge. AND there is an app that keeps track of my storage. No more throwing away food!
This may be the most valuable addition to my kitchen. I spend a lot of money on produce only to watch it go bad in the frig before we can eat it. No more! Mixed greens go into the large glass container and last so much longer. No pulling out slimy greens in a few days. Blueberries, strawberries and other delicate fruits go into the smaller container. The sealing is so easy with the rechargeable pump. I've charged it twice since January and I use it multiple times a day. Hard veggies like carrots go into a small bag, because who likes slimy carrots! A handy little zipper helps me make sure I've closed it completely. I am freezing meat in these also. After reading a few comments about meat being too "smooshed", I decided to freeze steaks or chicken on a tray for 30 minutes and then put in the bag, perfect! No moldy cheese because it gets sealed in a bag too.
Happy to see extra bags and containers available on the website. There's also a wine sealer; how perfect is that!
Zwilling has developed an app that you can download to scan qr codes on each container which helps you organize your frig and freezer. A great tool when you're grocery shopping and not sure what you have at home. As a bonus, there are great recipes on this app too.
