These bags are perfect for me, I live alone and now I cook extra portions and freeze them separately in the bags...they have saved me a fortune...fast food places are a thing of my past. The bags are pricey and I don't usually re use them, but they are still cost efficient compared to eating out or throwing away spoiled food.
We do a lot of smoked cheese and sell it to sub our income. These bags are beyond perfect for this. They save me tons of time and look professional. We print our own labels and stick them to the smooth side of the bags. I own the V3460 series and haven't had any issues sealing these bags. Bravo FoodSaver!
We like fresh ground coffee. I like to grind my coffee and portion it out. It's perfect. We have the mini sealer, so I have to tear them apart before I seal in the ground coffee, but it makes a perfect pouch. Coffee is sealed in to stay fresh and you don't have to measure anything in the morning.
My husband is a hunter and this year we made deer sausage. I thought I would try these perforated rolls to see if we could seal up the sausage to put in the freezer. I read all the reviews about them, but no one mentioned this use for this item. Let me tell you they are perfect! It is exactly what I was looking for and it was so easy to seal up 2 sausages at one time! What a great product!
I live alone and find Portion Pouches perfect for cooking ahead. I found them a little difficult to fill while keeping the sealing area clean. Finally settled on a hot beverage cup with the bottom cut off. Works like a charm. Easy to find and replace.
These bags are great when you need to seal a lot of small batches or long thin items. The only issue I had was that the first few bags I used I guess I cut too short because I had to separate them before vacuum sealing because the bags curved pushing out at the center so it could not suck the air out. I had cut them the way I would have if using the 8 or 11" rolls so I have learned to cut them a bit longer. All in all these bags saved me a lot of time.
