I dont know where to begin with this set.It is so cool. The vacuum pump game has just been just been turned onto its head. I love all of the sealing options, bags, containers and wine sealer. It is super easy to use. The USB rechargeable pump automatically shuts off once the item is sealed.....no more guess work. The bags are safe to use for souse vide for perfect tender cooking. The app is also great for helping me organize my freezer.With just a look at my phone I can see what i have in storage and from when.
It is so easy to use and as promised, the food last longer and fresh. We have had a big food vacuum sealer at home but once we put away, we never used it. Now this small vacuum is stored in the drawer I can access easily. The included glass containers and reusable bags work very well.
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.
This such an awesome storage solution! It comes with two plastic containers with locking lids; they easily seal and keep fruits and vegetables 5x longer than normal. The bags seal with the pump as well and are perfect for everything from meats, cheeses and fruits and vegetables. Bags can go from freezer or frig to the microwave, and can also be used for sous vide. Bags and containers are dishwasher safe, although I always wash mine by hand. The pump has a long lasting, rechargeable ion battery. I fully charged it when new and it lasted over a month. The super quiet motor shuts off when all of the air is removed. Happy to see that more accessories are available now.
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 love my Fresh and Save starter kit. When vacuumed sealed the food lasts 5x longer than regular storage. My bell peppers say fresh for days, usually I am throwing out the leftover pieces the next day. The set includes s, m, l bags for all sorts of uses. Freezer, microwave and sous vide safe. BPA free, good for your health and environment. I use something in this set daily.
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.
