I know this was eight years ago, but I just found a Food Saver at a thrift shop for $3.99. You gave me the courage to order bags for it and try it out. I love your humor. The video is priceless! Thank you!
This video is 9 years old, and I still thoroughly enjoyed it 😂 I just got my first food saver for Christmas and am ready to take on the world after watching your video
Thanks so much for this. I just found a FoodSaver V2480 at a thrift store for $4. Wifey and I have wanted a vacuum sealer for a long time, as we buy food in bulk much of the time, and do a lot of big pressure cooker batches. This looks like such an awesome way to preserve our hard work.
Just bought the same one at a thrift store like everyone else and watched your video first before trying it out. I feel confident about doing this now. Love your instructions and the way you demonstrate. 👍
Such a cute video. Thank you. Using my husband's FoodSaver that he has had for many years. He always stores it away in original packaging and it still looks like brand new. This is my first time using one.
Just got my second sealer, first was awful and I returned it. New directions on the foodsaver did not even properly describe which way to place the roll into the machine, but watching you video showed me how to use the machine properly, so thank you for the time you took.
Found one today at the thrift for fourteen bucks. It had little hose that attaches on the outside not sure what that's for. Great video. You have a deadpan delivery. That's a compliment.
Awesome job of imparting important information for those of us who put their Foodsaver in the attic for 10 years, decided to pull it out again, and found no instructions! Thanks!!!
As an Astronomy and Astrophysics graduate student these are some of the coolest kitchen tools for me aside from fridges and stoves lol I have a new one that I 3-d printed a mount with metal (thanks to my school lol) and mounted it my fridge to make it flush, so it only protrudes 3 inches from my fridge, the sealer bags are right next to it so you pull it over through a slot I made and it makes putting vacuum sealed meal prep in the fridge 1000% faster than baggies, or the traditional plastic containers, I love it lol easy to bring to school and throw in my offices fridge too😂
I inherited that same Foodsaver with no idea of how to use it. Your video was the best how-to available, without all the chatter or even worse, bad music. Thank you so much!!! Funny too.
Thanks for the video! I was with you till you did the soup. There was no reason to take it out of the container it was in (not a particularly valuable container, rather the type that more food at the store comes in) and put it in the bag. As long as you fill those containers to the top (but allowing for expansion of water as it freezes), it's also negligible difference in storage space, plus if you have several of the same size container, they stack quite nicely and provide a flat vertical surface for labeling the food in a uniform stack so it is easy to see at a glance where what you want is, instead of fumbling through bags to read the little label patch on them instead, letting all the ambient heat and moisture from outside, into the freezer in the process of keeping the door open longer.
Haha!! Thank you so much for posting this video! I love your sense of humor and this was more useful that you can even imagine!! My mom gave me her food saver with no booklet and there's SO many models out there and you have the same model! This felt completely foreign to me but now I feel like I can vacuum seal everything in my house!! Thanks again!!
Thank you for the video. I love your "I know this is boring" attitude so much that I was actually entertained. The paper instructions aren't easy to understand, but your video was. Thanks again.
just picked one up at a thrift store and thought it was broken because all the seal light would do is blink... Who knew you had to crank down so hard on the locking lever! Thanks to your video, I am now sealing my socks and chicken : )
love your vids perfect ratio of info:humour:beautiful host...keep making them...ive been singing the praises of my food saver since i bought one 2 yrs ago...wish i had one in my college years when money was super tight...so much freezer burnt food thrown out
Thank you! I am on IG as Claudia's Tasty Bits if you would like to follow. Videos are on hold for now, but I do have 99 videos for your viewing enjoyment. Thank you so much for you kind comment.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Alexander Brett thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
OMG! You have a lucky reindeer ornament you go swimming with as well? I used to put it in a ziploc bag and hope it didn't open on me. This will be much better. Well to be honest, we just got a Foodsaver 250 deluxe, and yours was the 3rd or 4th video I watched, and YOU showed me how to actually use it. And I got a few chuckles. I feel a lot more comfortable about using it now. Thank you. Also, now I am planning that canoe trip across the atlantic, and can keep my socks dry. But first, time to bag and seal 40# of boneless chicken breasts.
Loved your video!!! Gives me so much info in 6 minutes and you answered all my questions about my new food saver!!:) Love your sense of humor too...your adorable!!. Thanks again!
Thanks for the heads up about the blood with ruining the unit. I was not aware of that until I watched this video. I really like your idea of prefreezing the portioned meat into individual Saran wrap. Really helpful!!
I bought my food saver at an estate sale. I have always wanted one! (your husband is a keeper) Thank you so very much for making learning how do do this easy peesy.
I just receive one of these for Christmas, I just tried it out and it wasn't working. That is why I am here, now I know where I went wrong and I thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am not going to tell you what I did wrong because I feel like a dope.
You are definitively right. But it never hurts me to expirience thru other people what I will be dealing with with my new gadget. Example, I know how to weld but watching videos on welding gives me more experience, and often saves me a few dollars and headaches.
So rough side up both to 'Seal' and to 'Vacuum and seal'. Curiously that information was absent from my machine's instructions (not a FOODSAVER). Thank you Claudia.
I've had my V2480 since the early 2000's. Still working great! Getting 10lbs of chicken leg quarters at $8 and cut them into legs and thighs, then I vacuum save them in portions i will make for a meal.
Definitely NOT a boring vid. Thanks so much for helping me learn how to use my new vac sealer, this is so much more enjoyable than reading a manual LOL.
My food saver broke so I found the same model you have on FB for 20.00. Thanks for the video 👍🏻😁 You are definately unique (in a good way). Those were good ideas at the end. I also found that they make great ice packs (no leaks) and if you add air and seal it makes a good packing bag like the ones that come in the Amazon boxes to take up space in the box. Also we like sealing/waterproofing camping stuff. My only question is will it hold a 50' roll? (update/edit) I answered my own question after I picked it up. It will not hold a 50' roll. I just cut the roll in half and it fit.
So grateful for this. Where do you buy your replacement parts? Specifically the upper and lower gaskets? I'm having a hard time finding one that i can CONFIRM is compatible with my model which is technically not the same as yours but is very close. Do you find any of them compatible as long as you replace foam with foam or rubber with rubber?
5 years is a good shelf life, that's what my friend told me, thank you for explaining this, got one here on loan, didn't want to break it, will use it carefully now.
Thanks Claudia, I have wanted a vacuum sealer a long time. I just found a Foodsaver V2000 at a Bargain Store for $30.00. It looked new or little used in box with all accoutrements it is supposed to come with. I was very excited ( yes, i lead a boring life ) and when i got it home I broke out my 5 gallon bucket i am storing my home made MRE food paks, currently using Ziplok bags, in to give them a better vacuum sealed home. I hooked the Foodsaver up to power. Sealed one end of a sleeve to make a bag. I transferred contents of one Ziplok enclosed MRE to my Foodsaver bag and put it in the V2000 correctly and pressed Vac & Seal. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Nothing!!!!!!!! No Vacuum. I was so let down. sniff sniff Being a guy....I was about to start ripping it apart to find what the problem was. Then the non ape side of my brain tok over and i thought...." Lets do some research first " I found You Tube vid by MITEEman who had similar problem. He took whole thing apart then he found the problem. Air leaking by the gasket seal, I removed my seals carefully and cleaned em with warm soapy water and patted dry. Re-installed seals and Yay....it worked great now. I still have one problem. Trya as I might.......I just can not get my Foodsaver V2000 to make the Cricket Night Noises or the " Yay!!!! " that your machine makes. Any suggestions? ps here is link to the repair video for anyone who has similar problem .. th-cam.com/video/Jlvkq4z6LiQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Just bought a new Foodsaver because mine sucked its last bag recently. I am currently not making new videos, but there are 91 on there for your viewing pleasure. 🙏🏼
Omgoodness I LOVE this video 💯💯💯 You are ABSOLUTELY hilarious and your instructions were Very easy to follow Thank You and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra
Perfect that is the model I have, I dont know why on mine the vacuum and seal, is sucking air out but not sealing? I am leaving bag on counter not holding it like you did? Good video by the way, you explained it well.
hello.Unless the seal isn't good on the other end, it should be sealing. It may be broken. Do you clamp the little lever down to make sure it is locked? I mean I am sure you do. Let me know if you want to video chat about it and you can show me what you are doing. I live in NY.
@@claudiastastybits I was told to run cycle without anything in it when done heat strip should be warm or hot,it is but when I try with something it removes air but does not seal?
@@claudiastastybits hey Claudia thanks for contact I called rep the said gaskets should be replaced yearly, but should try to wash dry thoroughly some reviews said new repaired food saver, thanks ag as in for trying to help.
I just bought my first Food Savor and this 6 minute video taught me a lot!! Thank you for doing this. I absolutely LOVE the humor in it. I never go anywhere without my Reindeer Ornament!!! Ha ha. Love the useful hints too!!!!
Awesome video. Funny and informative my favorite combination :) I learned more from your video than I did on QVC who actually sells the unit. Thanks for sharing your vac & seal secrets. Oh and your not weird I act the same way when I wanted it too :)
Only consideration dor the smooth/rough side if the bag material is the machines grip of the bag while vacuuming and sealing. I vacuum seal mine rough side up or down and hadno different result.
Thanks for the vid. I bought one of these used and all the other videos were for newer models so this helped. Especially because mine did not come with instructions. 🙂
Do you know what to do if you accidentally suck up chicken broth into accessories hose and cant get machine to open to access tray? Any ideas? Mine is the upright kind from years ago. I love it but it will not rotate to open...
Date: 06/17/2016. Review-Sometime back I purchased a FoodSaver 3230 and although it did last awhile, it was not as long as I felt it should of lasted because I only used it on projects and not all the time. It started smoking and would not seal, so I decided that I would purchase another Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer since I was in a bind and that is what they had in stock at WM. When I got the new one Oct. 2015, I felt like something was wrong but completed the project I was doing and went on to all the pressing things I had going in my life. Off and on I would use it for little projects and mostly for vacuum sealing jars. I recently used it and I'm feed up. It quickly over heats when heat sealing. Went online to contact FoodSaver and had a heck of a time getting a hold of someone. I originally submitted an email on 06/03/16 which came back saying they would respond in 3 days. As of 06/15/16 absolutely no response from FoodSaver. After jumping thru hoops for them, I find out from them that the newer FoodSaver models overheat quicker. FoodSaver tells me if I want a black color replacement like I had, then I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks and then they won't send it to me, unless I call them back and then see if they happen to have any in stock. They refuse to go ahead and take the information and send me a black one when it come in which is no way for customer service to do. Tried of dealing with this worthless company so I took the White color. Watch out... after they told me I would get a New replacement and I mailed it back in, they tried to say that I was going to get a re-furbished one, but I put a stop to that. I wanted to alert every one... you don't want to spend $90 on this piece of junk and a company like this.
We bake up a lot of bake potatoes at one time... Then vac seal then one or two in a pack... Keep them from sprouting and handy to pop in the microwave...
That is an awesome idea! I have a huge bag of sweet potatoes to do this with.... I had not thought of this. If they are already cooked, you wouldn't have to worry about them sprouting... so I am assuming you would still keep them in the pantry if you vac seal them raw... I have heard that it is not good to store raw potatoes (and probably sweet pototoes too) in the fridge... maybe frozen once they are cooked. What do you think/know about that?
You are hilarious! My kind of gal. I have one question, what is the point of freezing the food first? Isn't having a food saver the reason to seal and freeze? I just bought a unit and tried freezing strawberries and it was very messy. Glad to hear about the paper towel idea. I think I am going to really love this food saver, but am confused on freezing before hand?? Thanks again the video is wonderful
a friend gave me one of these food saver machine, mine did not have a lever on the side i had to press down on it to seal food it was to much for me to do that every time i got more food so i gave it to my brother and i got a new one with a auto seal setting works great its the food saver V4880
I’ve walked passed my food saver for over 13 years thinking the potential it can produce. Today is the day it will be used for the first time. Thanks for the video. Lol Idk why I do backstories. I’ve seen ppl on the TH-cam have used cheap ziplock bags in place of these bags have you done this ???
I live in Taiwan. I have been here 9 years now and I have grown tired of teaching English and started making American cookies. The Vacuum Foodsealer that I bought from Costco.......... came with only Chinese instructions. Umm, thanks, but 我看不懂這個 (I can't read this!!!!) I was wondering how to use it, so thanks for your very helpful instruction video, it really did help in my overall understanding. but there is still some little plastic pipe attachment thingie which I don't get. What is that for? Somehow I thought it had something to do with the vacuuming process, but you've shown me that I was wrong about that.
Ok sooo, found your TH-cam cause I need to know how operate this thing. Not only was the video very helpful, I found your sense of humor hilarious! I decided to subscribe. ❤️ As luck would have it, I finally found a solution for swimming with my favorite reindeer ornament.
I don't believe you can vacuum seal liquids, but what they recommend is that you freeze the soup or stew overnight in a container, release it from the container and then vacuum seal it. I have done it. It is a pain to have an extra step, but it works.
do you have to freeze the cooked meat after you vacuum seal the bag. All air has been removed so bacteria couldn't grow. Trying to be able to store cooked meat in an rv cupboard rather than the fridge , to save space
Thank you! Got one and I’m not an instructions type person!! Vacuum sealing chamber was really small on the pictures! 🤣 but i got it!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you!!
I just picked one up with 2 rolls of bags and a lid contraption for 25.00 at a second hand store . I tested before buying with a hannah montana dvd and the box crushed down so I would say it worked . Mine doesn't have a place to put the bags it is a v 365 . Do you have any tips for bag useage I mean to get the most out of your bags . I have to think there are some techniques that get one the most out of there bag,s I was thinking by cutting bags bigger than needed initially may in some cases allow for more uses . Versus make a bag say big enough for a sandwich then after the bag is opened the bag is hardly big enough for any other uses . I have only owned this for 2 hrs and have not began to use it yet so I guess I am rambling a little and over thinking everything . Any tips and or advice will be greatly appreciated and put to good use Thank You & God Bless
Return it. Doubt you have a Kohl's in Montana but Foodsaver.com is offering 20% off free shipping. V2400 series. Don't pay attention to last 2 digits of a unit. It's just a number FS uses to track units at different retailers. That unit wastes little bagging material and holds the rolls with a cutter for an ease of making a bag. Reusing bags rarely works well and not a good idea with contamination if used for raw meats and such. The foam gasket around your V365 comes out but they go bad. I don't believe the G-2 gasket fits that unit it's so old. Unfortunately the only gasket that's replaceable.
$131, actually $106 after you take that back will give you a hands free unit and comes with a handheld unit for refrig products, deli trays, zip bags. Things you get in and out of on a daily basis. Hope that helped.
When selecting the size of the bag be careful and not to waste those bags. They are expensive. It takes practice to ensure your bag is the right length and size.
Thanks for the demo. We have had ours for years sitting in a closet. Much easier to look up your video to see how to work it rather than read the manual, heh, heh.
Thank you for this video! Now I don't have to read the instructions and can just go do some vacuum sealing using my new vacuum sealer received as a Christmas present from my son and daughter-in-law and grandsons!
I know this was eight years ago, but I just found a Food Saver at a thrift shop for $3.99. You gave me the courage to order bags for it and try it out. I love your humor. The video is priceless! Thank you!
I don’t care what anyone thinks, of all the videos I’ve watched on this machine, YOURS was the most helpful!
Thank you for all the details!
Just found this video after finding a used vacuum sealer. Good video tutorial. Thanks for making it simple.
This video is 9 years old, and I still thoroughly enjoyed it 😂
I just got my first food saver for Christmas and am ready to take on the world after watching your video
thank you for making this so simple! my grandmother and i were struggling for a bit and were looking for how to videos. you're a lifesaver!
Thanks so much for this. I just found a FoodSaver V2480 at a thrift store for $4. Wifey and I have wanted a vacuum sealer for a long time, as we buy food in bulk much of the time, and do a lot of big pressure cooker batches. This looks like such an awesome way to preserve our hard work.
$4? Score! Let me know how it goes.
Vacuo 2060 istruzioni VIDEO

Does it even matter which way you place it in the machine?
I dig the pre-wrapped meat idea to prevent blood / juice migration into the seal area and sometimes into the machine! Perfect!
i absolutely loved this boring video!!!! you explained it better than anyone else on youtube! thanks!!! youre awesome!
Found one today at the thrift for fourteen bucks. It had little hose that attaches on the outside not sure what that's for. Great video. You have a deadpan delivery. That's a compliment.
Awesome job of imparting important information for those of us who put their Foodsaver in the attic for 10 years, decided to pull it out again, and found no instructions! Thanks!!!
Thanks so much for this video!! We tried for an hour on our own, then watched, you showed us the key to getting a good seal!

BEST video yet on food saver. THANK YOU! Are you still using that one?
I am using the same machine. Crazy right?
OMG! You have a lucky reindeer ornament you go swimming with as well? I used to put it in a ziploc bag and hope it didn't open on me. This will be much better.

You got to slip the top of the bag into the tiny slot where the vacuum is
Loved this! I just found the same foodsaver at a thrift store in brand new condition. Thank you!
Same here! Found this while looking for a manual.
300+K views! Tells me, People bought this thing and have no idea how to use it! Nice video!

I have had mine 12 years now? The only thing is it now doesn't know. when you stop vacuuming so I stop it manually.
The commentary and sound effects are hilarious. Thanks!
Thanks Claudia, I have wanted a vacuum sealer a long time. I just found a Foodsaver V2000 at a Bargain Store for
$30.00. It looked new or little used in box with all accoutrements it is supposed to come with.
I was very excited ( yes, i lead a boring life ) and when i got it home I broke out my 5 gallon bucket i am storing my home made MRE food paks, currently using Ziplok bags, in to give them a better vacuum sealed home.

Ziplok enclosed MRE to my Foodsaver bag and put it in the V2000 correctly and pressed Vac & Seal.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Nothing!!!!!!!! No Vacuum.
I was so let down. sniff sniff
Being a guy....I was about to start ripping it apart to find what the problem was. Then the non ape side of my brain tok over and i thought...." Lets do some research first " I found You Tube vid by MITEEman who had similar problem.
He took whole thing apart then he found the problem. Air leaking by the gasket seal,
I removed my seals carefully and cleaned em with warm soapy water and patted dry.
Re-installed seals and Yay....it worked great now.
I still have one problem.
Trya as I might.......I just can not get my Foodsaver V2000 to make the Cricket Night Noises or the " Yay!!!! "
that your machine makes.
Any suggestions?

Omgosh, too funny. So glad my husband shared this with me. Its waaay easier than I have been led to believe.
Awesome video. Funny and informative my favorite combination :) I learned more from your video than I did on QVC who actually sells the unit. Thanks for sharing your vac & seal secrets. Oh and your not weird I act the same way when I wanted it too :)
Only consideration dor the smooth/rough side if the bag material is the machines grip of the bag while vacuuming and sealing. I vacuum seal mine rough side up or down and hadno different result.
Nice job, informative, and good technique.
Enjoyed this, Sister! Y'all there stay safe an well, from way out here, on Th Windswept Prairie! 🤠
Thank you for your instructions! It made using my new Food Saver a breeze!
Thanks for the vid. I bought one of these used and all the other videos were for newer models so this helped. Especially because mine did not come with instructions. 🙂
I loved your video! Lots of humor and very informative.
Entertaining and informative ! Just helped me decide to get one..
Do you know what to do if you accidentally suck up chicken broth into accessories hose and cant get machine to open to access tray? Any ideas? Mine is the upright kind from years ago. I love it but it will not rotate to open...
I have one of these but it has two little pouches or you put the bag into suck the air out of there's two different sizes what is a smaller one for
Date: 06/17/2016. Review-Sometime back I purchased a FoodSaver 3230 and
although it did last awhile, it was not as long as I felt it should of
lasted because I only used it on projects and not all the time. It
started smoking and would not seal, so I decided that I would purchase
another Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer since I was in a bind and that is what
they had in stock at WM. When I got the new one Oct. 2015, I felt like
something was wrong but completed the project I was doing and went on
to all the pressing things I had going in my life. Off and on I would
use it for little projects and mostly for vacuum sealing jars. I
recently used it and I'm feed up. It quickly over heats when heat
sealing. Went online to contact FoodSaver and had a heck of a time
getting a hold of someone. I originally submitted an email on 06/03/16
which came back saying they would respond in 3 days. As of 06/15/16
absolutely no response from FoodSaver. After jumping thru hoops for
them, I find out from them that the newer FoodSaver models overheat
quicker. FoodSaver tells me if I want a black color replacement like I
had, then I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks and then they won't send it to
me, unless I call them back and then see if they happen to have any in
stock. They refuse to go ahead and take the information and send me a
black one when it come in which is no way for customer service to do.
Tried of dealing with this worthless company so I took the White color.
Watch out... after they told me I would get a New replacement and I
mailed it back in, they tried to say that I was going to get a
re-furbished one, but I put a stop to that. I wanted to alert every
one... you don't want to spend $90 on this piece of junk and a company
like this.
Thank you…your video helped my mother and me
We bake up a lot of bake potatoes at one time... Then vac seal then one or two in a pack... Keep them from sprouting and handy to pop in the microwave...
That is an awesome idea! I have a huge bag of sweet potatoes to do this with.... I had not thought of this. If they are already cooked, you wouldn't have to worry about them sprouting... so I am assuming you would still keep them in the pantry if you vac seal them raw... I have heard that it is not good to store raw potatoes (and probably sweet pototoes too) in the fridge... maybe frozen once they are cooked. What do you think/know about that?
From the sound of it crickets are sealing the food-LOL! thanks for the great tutorial!
Model #? there are so many out there. I like this one but can't find any reference to it in the video or in the comments......? Thanks
Excellent video. Thanks for explaining how to seal solids , liquids and socks. lol.
You are hilarious! My kind of gal. I have one question, what is the point of freezing the food first? Isn't having a food saver the reason to seal and freeze? I just bought a unit and tried freezing strawberries and it was very messy. Glad to hear about the paper towel idea. I think I am going to really love this food saver, but am confused on freezing before hand?? Thanks again the video is wonderful
This was so helpful and worth every second!
a friend gave me one of these food saver machine, mine did not have a lever on the side i had to press down on it to seal food it was to much for me to do that every time i got more food so i gave it to my brother and i got a new one with a auto seal setting works great its the food saver V4880
Funny and adorable as ever! Thanks I just got one. Far better to watch a video than read the manual. Thanks.
I’ve walked passed my food saver for over 13 years thinking the potential it can produce. Today is the day it will be used for the first time. Thanks for the video. Lol Idk why I do backstories. I’ve seen ppl on the TH-cam have used cheap ziplock bags in place of these bags have you done this ???
I have not tried using ziplocks... just worry that they might melt when you seal them?
I live in Taiwan. I have been here 9 years now and I have grown tired of teaching English and started making American cookies. The Vacuum Foodsealer that I bought from Costco.......... came with only Chinese instructions. Umm, thanks, but 我看不懂這個 (I can't read this!!!!) I was wondering how to use it, so thanks for your very helpful instruction video, it really did help in my overall understanding.
but there is still some little plastic pipe attachment thingie which I don't get. What is that for? Somehow I thought it had something to do with the vacuuming process, but you've shown me that I was wrong about that.
Ok sooo, found your TH-cam cause I need to know how operate this thing. Not only was the video very helpful, I found your sense of humor hilarious! I decided to subscribe. ❤️ As luck would have it, I finally found a solution for swimming with my favorite reindeer ornament.
Thank you. Would you believe that machine just stopped working?! 7years!
@@claudiastastybits try flipping your gaskets around or get new ones
I just froze some chicken and because of your video I think I'm ready to try my food saver. . well let me watch your video one more time.😊
Thank you, this video was very helpful.
hi...can u vacuum liquid? like stew or soup? would it damage the vacuum part of the machine when it is vacuuming?
I don't believe you can vacuum seal liquids, but what they recommend is that you freeze the soup or stew overnight in a container, release it from the container and then vacuum seal it. I have done it. It is a pain to have an extra step, but it works.
do you have to freeze the cooked meat after you vacuum seal the bag. All air has been removed so bacteria couldn't grow. Trying to be able to store cooked meat in an rv cupboard rather than the fridge , to save space
+George Bortnick Poison your family
Why didnt you pull the bag to the sealing strip and seal it first before cutting it?
It says in the manual that the bags should be cleaned and reused too.
Can you double seal it with that machine?
Which foodsaver vacuum sealer is that
I do hope you and your strangeness are still a thing and are married and still married to that wonderful man who gifted you a vacuum sealer
Still strange. Still married. Thank you for making me smile!
@@claudiastastybits you deserve it. I haven’t had real laugh in awhile plus you taught me how to use a vacuum sealer so thank you 😊
I just found your channel today! Will you make more vids?
I am not making videos at the moment, but there are 91 videos on my channel for your viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for subscribing.
great video and totally worth the 6 minutes :)
Thank you for sharing Bobbie!
Thank you! Got one and I’m not an instructions type person!! Vacuum sealing chamber was really small on the pictures! 🤣 but i got it!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you!!
I just picked one up with 2 rolls of bags and a lid contraption for 25.00 at a second hand store . I tested before buying with a hannah montana dvd and the box crushed down so I would say it worked . Mine doesn't have a place to put the bags it is a v 365 . Do you have any tips for bag useage I mean to get the most out of your bags . I have to think there are some techniques that get one the most out of there bag,s I was thinking by cutting bags bigger than needed initially may in some cases allow for more uses . Versus make a bag say big enough for a sandwich then after the bag is opened the bag is hardly big enough for any other uses . I have only owned this for 2 hrs and have not began to use it yet so I guess I am rambling a little and over thinking everything . Any tips and or advice will be greatly appreciated and put to good use Thank You & God Bless
+timothy thomas V365 is a out dated piece of Crap. Step up your $$ to V24-2800
+timothy thomas It's second hand cause made in the 90's, no replaceable gaskets for it. Your screwed
I can go to ace and get what I need when the seals need replaced .
Return it. Doubt you have a Kohl's in Montana but Foodsaver.com is offering 20% off free shipping. V2400 series. Don't pay attention to last 2 digits of a unit. It's just a number FS uses to track units at different retailers. That unit wastes little bagging material and holds the rolls with a cutter for an ease of making a bag. Reusing bags rarely works well and not a good idea with contamination if used for raw meats and such. The foam gasket around your V365 comes out but they go bad. I don't believe the G-2 gasket fits that unit it's so old. Unfortunately the only gasket that's replaceable.
$131, actually $106 after you take that back will give you a hands free unit and comes with a handheld unit for refrig products, deli trays, zip bags. Things you get in and out of on a daily basis. Hope that helped.
When selecting the size of the bag be careful and not to waste those bags. They are expensive. It takes practice to ensure your bag is the right length and size.
What’s the port for? My mother in law gave me one and I’m trying to figure out how to use it.
I never used the port, but I believe it is for taking the air out of canisters that foodsaver sold.
Thanks for the video. Told me what I needed to know that the owner's manuel didn't explain. :)
Thanks for the demo. We have had ours for years sitting in a closet. Much easier to look up your video to see how to work it rather than read the manual, heh, heh.
Just put a book or box in front and lay your filled bag on it to seal, it rest nice and you don't have to hold it.
VERY GOOD MACHINE SIR YOU ARE GREAT HERE KARISHNA
Great video. Thank you for sharing .
I pull the bag out and seal the end before I cut the length I believe I need.
Thank you for this video! Now I don't have to read the instructions and can just go do some vacuum sealing using my new vacuum sealer received as a Christmas present from my son and daughter-in-law and grandsons!
and I mean this in a healthy positive way, good video
