Add to your Long Term Food Storage with a Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer. In this video, I'll show you how to vacuum seal food (like hamburger) with a Foodsaver.
Buy meats when you can find them on sale, then vacuum seal them for later use... it's easy. When you store food using a Foodsaver, it can last several times longer than food that has been stored in zip lock bags.
Take care,
alan

What I found is that if you flatten out the hamburger loaf, after you have sealed it, it stores much better in the freezer, and thaws really quickly. When I first put the flats into the freezer, I make sure the are laying horizontal, but once they are frozen, I stand them up on edge.
Kevin Booth Great advice... I'll DO that next time !
That's a great idea! You probably could "smoosh" it flat after getting it in the bag & sealed. Handling the food and actually getting it in the bag neatly seems to be my biggest issue. Your idea saves space too. I like it! Thanks for sharing that!
I totally agree with Kevin. Flattening is the best way. You can even score it so you can break off a chunk to make a quick burger.
After you seal the meat in the bag, take a rolling pin and flatten them out. It saves space in your freezer.
Great idea !
I just bought a FoodSaver V2240-BS (black and stainless) totally based upon your video. Wow, that thing is AMAZING!! In your honor, I'm calling it my TP2 vacuum sealer. Many thanks.
Wow... I've never had an appliance named after me :)
I followed your tip about sealing it 1st in mine & it worked brilliantly. You Sir, are a very wise man.
Wow... haven't been called "wise" in a while... I'll let my wife know :)
@@BIGALTX LOL :D :p. By the way hello from Scotland UK.
Good to hear from you.
Greetings from TX!
I love our FoodSaver. We raise our own meat chickens every year (about 130-150 of them) plus how ever many deer we get each year that we process and package with our FoodSaver. Plus grocery store sales and finds, FoodSavers are really worth the investment. We bought ours from Costco. Great video thanks.
raisingarrows4him You process THAT many each year... ? Wow.. Do you skin or pluck? Do you put the chicken in the bags whole, or cut up? And... do you have any videos on that? I will be processing some in a few weeks.
Yes we sure do. The 10th member of our family will be here end of January so we feed a lot of tummies. Our 20ft cu. chest freezer is 2/3rds filled with chicken lol. We bought a plucking machine for about $450 which pays for itself after 2 years of not paying a processing place. I cut them up and then packaged them. I saved all the backs and used them to make chicken broth and canned it as well. Used the livers and hearts to feed the 4 barn cats also. Not much went to waste. We watched videos made by backyardmeat and found them to very useful. God bless.

I just subbed BackYardMeat... thanks
Thanks so much, I just got one exactly like this for Christmas. You have been a great help, I am new at all this food-saving. .
I appreciate this video. I've seen these a lot in stores, but had no clue how they really worked or held up over time. Thanks
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.
if you want to flatten the meat but don't want the juice to come out, put a paper folded to catch the juice then seal again below it
Excellent video! Our FoodSaver vacuum sealer has become a corner stone in the way we do our long-term storage. We use it to store all of our dehydrated fruits, vegetables, eggs and meats, as well as use it to vacuum seal most everything else in our long-term pantry. Cereals, cake mixes, side dish mixes, most anything that comes in a bag (that we want to store long-term) gets vacuum sealed.
We feel that the cost of the bags is far outweighed by the savings on food we get by buying items on sale and storing for later. We also use the canister sealers, too.
Thanks for the hamburger storage tips! Foodsavers are such a great invention!
If you ever intend to cook by boiling the bags in water (or sous vide) buy the foodsaver bags, far, far better and safer than nearly any other bag.
That's a great tip to double seal! My food keep opening, so I'll try that on wet foods!
thats pretty cool. I just got a food savor and haven't used it yet and just bought some extra hamburger meat. I wouldn't have known about the seal the bag at the bottom LOL. i love youtube for that reason. Thanks!
The FS Bags come ready to use. The FS Rolls have to be sealed at the bottom and cut to make a "bag". I hope I was clear about that in the vid.
if you lay bags in something a shade smaller( width) items will slide right out, transfer and seal i think it works great
Hail to Texas from NYC!
Greetings from TX! :)
i like things flat in freezer so i freeze in ziploc flat then in foodsaver.you can reuse bags.
I have been using the ziploc brand on my Excalbier sealer.
Just found your video, i am looking for the model # of the one you have so I can make a series of pockets in a sheet then cut the sides while leaving the pockets to put stuff into and roll it up. What is the model number of the one you are demonstrating, I may be able to find a used one. Thank you.
It's in the barn right now.
When I remember it, I'll try to check.
I know I mentioned it in one of my 'sealer' videos.
Here's the playlist:

I wore out my first Food Saver. Loved that thing. Got a new Kenmore one. Looks and works the same as the Food Saver. It's great for storing deer steaks and when I buy chicken in bulk.
use about 80/20 for hamburger when you plan to grill it since the fat will drip out and they'll be ready before they dry out
Do you think he washed his hands before handling the meat?
great, now you got me thinking I need another item i cant afford lol
I found a Tilla Food Saver with both jar adapters and a large roll of bag material on Craigslist for $20. I don't know if Craigslist works well in your area or not but if you don't find one for sale place a wanted ad, you might get lucky and find a good deal.
Nym Rod I do love me some Craigslist... I'm looking around there all the time...
[I READ BEST IN CAPS & LARGE PRINT THANKS]
I WAS LUCKY I FOUND MINE AT A JUNK SHOP FOR 15.00... HAVE FAITH IT WILL FIND YOU.... LOL THEY ARE REALLY PRICEY WHEN YOU BUY A NEW ONE BUT I GUESS NEW ONES LAST LONGER THAN USED ONES BUT THEN AGAIN THE USED ONES WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHEN YOU USE IT WHEATHER YOU WOULD WANT A NEW ONE..
GONA TRY MINE & SEE IF I REALLY WANT IT... THEN GO FROM THERE....
BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED

I've found some good deals there but most of the them require a bit of a drive being in the DFW area. The last was a 5 CF Holiday freezer in like new condition for $60.
It's an investment. It really does save you money. Not only can you buy in "bulk" and save, but no loss due to freezer burn. Food lasts longer when stored like this. Christmas is coming, share TexasPrepper2's link for the food saver with your "Santa." I bet they're looking for gift ideas. :)
i also do the paper towel thing with powered things
Oh wow, that's a good trick. I'd never have thought of that. Thank you for the good ideas. I was making them singularly, which was taking up a heck of a lot of my time.Plus it'll also likely save on the rolls. At £7.00 upwards, they ain't cheap.
Glad to help!
How does your Hamburg look after a few days? Still bright and red or does it turn brown?
Hmmm... it's been a few years since I've done this, but I think it browned up a little
I missed the canister how-to, can you refer me with a link?
You bet!
Here are 2 of them... and the lid attachments and hose are linked to below the videos:
INSTANT POTATOES: Storing Instant Potatoes In Mason Jars With A Foodsaver
RICE: Foodsaver Sealing Mason Jars~Rice And Long Term Food Storage
I though I was the only one that "double sealed." LOL
Jim S NO... there are many more of us out there :)
Awesome video! :) You sound like Matthew McConaughey haha
Someone tells me that at least once a month :)
He was raised about 40 miles from where I was raised.
Where can you buy the bags cheap? I have an excellent Foodsaver but only use it for mason jars because the bags are so expensive.
Claudia80nin Sorry, I asked the question before finishing the video.
[I READ BEST IN CAPS & LARGE PRINT THANKS] CAN YOU MAKE BURGER PATTYS AND THEN SEAL MORE THAN JUST A FEW IN IT AND IT NOT DISTORT THE SHAPE??
I BOUGHT MINE [FOOD SAVER V2050] AT A JUNK SHOP AND THEY SAY IT WORKS [WE SHALL SEE LOL] BUT JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH DISTORTION THERE WILL BE AND HOW TO MANAGE THAT AFFECT...
THANKS
BE HOPE FILLED
FRANKI
I think you should be able to vacuum patties... though I haven't tried it... yet...
SHOULD I FREEZE THE PATTIES FIRST OR JUST GO AHEAD AND VACUUM THEM UNFROZEN...?
I'M REALLY NEW TO THIS VACUUM SEALER BUSINESS AND WOULD RATHER NOT MAKE MISTAKES BECAUSE THE BAG MATERIAL IS SO EXPENSIVE AND I LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME...
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
BLESSINGS
FRANKI
FRANCES LUNYOU Freezing them first would help them hold their shape when vacuuming them. That would probably be the best way to do it...
THANKS FOR THE INFO
BLESSINGS AND BE HOPE FILLED
FRANKI
TexasPrepper2 I've tried it, it does flatten them out too much and just getting more than on in the bag is tricky. Freezing them first is a good idea, I didn't think of that. I do what you do and freeze about a pound in bags and then make the burgers if I want to use it for burgers.
What scale did you use that. Comes out from under the plate
I used a scale like this: amzn.to/2JI7ELG
Matthew Mcconaughey?
+Sherry Skinner Naw... he ain't near as perty as me :)
Can people please state what model they have and show the whole machine when demoing? How dumb that we can only see a tiny part of the machine at any given time.
The one I show in this video is an old machine.
I'm sure it's not available any more.
Here is a link to several newer machines: amzn.to/3d5yOuj
All of these would work great for food storage, and are much better than the one I showed in this video... Again, the one I have is several years old.
I would suggest one of the stainless steel models.
Don't forget to buy extra bags!
Hope that helps!

Amazing content have a good day🤝

If you mash your mince, sorry hamburger meat flat it takes up less room in your freezer.
I'll do that next time !
Thank you:)
You're welcome!
I tried this and had blood everywhere. What am I doing wrong?
If the meat has a lot of liquid in it, there will definitely be some sucked into the machine.
That's why they have a tray... to catch the liquid.
If the bag sealed OK... I wouldn't worry about it, but you might want to check it from time to time.
Thanks :)
Lmao "about a penny a year"🤣🤣🤣
I did this last night with 40 pounds of chicken breasts from Zaycon.
Nym Rod I've been thinking about ordering from Zaycon... do you like their stuff ?
TexasPrepper2
My wife likes it. The 93% hamburger was $3.50 I think, it was packaged in large 10 lb plastic clear tubes ready for the freezer. The chicken was loose packed in plastic bags and required repackaging before freezing.
TexasPrepper2 We have purchased 120lbs each of boneless chicken breasts and ground beef from Zaycon ... good stuff. We generally vac-seal half and pressure can the rest (raw pack the chicken, brown + dry can the beef). The chicken comes butterflied so some separation/trimming is required. The ground beef (93/7) comes in 10lb tubes which makes one pound portioning easy. Suggest placing the chicken breasts on cookie sheets in the freezer for about an hour before vac-sealing ... and flattening the ground beef in the bags prior to vac-sealing for better freezer stacking. Yes ... we will order from Zaycon again.
Barry Schwienteck
Good info... thanks !
Did you here that a Mc Donalds hamburger can last 20years? Great for long term food storage and you dont even have to vac seal it! lol
Food vac bags.com has bags much cheaper and thicker bags
These are the ones I use from eBay. I have used almost 300 bags so far and works great. Just ordered my 4th package of them last night after processing a deer. Regular price for 100 quart bags is $23.99us. And free shipping. I also wrap my burger or loose sausage in saran wrap before putting in bags so it doesn't suck out blood, but I don't have a selector on my vacuum sealer for wet/dry.

I could never get my vacuum sealer to work so after 6 months I got mad at it and adjusted it with a hammer.
Have you tried Zaycon Foods? We have a sealer too! This is off topic but there is a new film out you might like. Obama's Marxist "Utopia"
paper towel
You should use a tripod for the camera !!
ZIPLOC are about half the price and the same bag
But the seal on the ziploc or other zipper bags is not air-tight. It will leak and eventually fail. I find vacuum sealing keeps meat free from freezer burn and drying out for months and months -- even years. I use zipper bags for short-term storage only. (You can still remove most of the air by zipping the bag almost closed and using a straw to suck out the air.)
I loaded up on the ZIPLOCs when TARGET had them on 50% off clearance. yea!
I've NEVER had success with the super thin Seal-A-Meal bags in my FoodSaver though. The SEAL burns right through the bag.
Donna Mack
I think you misunderstood I was not talking about the ZIPLOC zipper bags I was talking about the ZIPLOC brand vacuum bags for the food saver
aries37
yup did the same I make the rounds every couple months and stock up on discounted canning and food saver items.
TexasPatriot61I didn't know Ziplock made the vacuum bags... I'll check them out, thanx !
