How to Seal Foods Air-Free Without a Vacuum Sealer
ฝัง

- Here's a quick, easy, inexpensive way to seal foods airtight in a plastic-bag. All you need is a zipper-lock bag, and a tub or pot of water.
If using this method for storage, we'd suggest using freezer bags for a better seal. For cooking sous-vide, do not use this method for foods that need to cook longer than a couple of hours. For long cooks, we'd recommend using an actual vacuum sealer. Zipper-lock bags can fail with extended cooking times.

Never seen someone get to the point so damn fast thanks!
This was before people started making 10 minute videos of bs so they can put ads on it
Awesome and Quick Presentation !!!
Thank You for Sharing With Us ★★★★★
You’re telling me you don’t want a 10 minute video that starts with a whole personally back story and history of this method? Lol
@@PazHimself Looool
Exactly!
Great instructional videos- minimal fluff, straight to the point, ideal for many of us who have the attention span of a cat
*throws lint ball*
hiss
my cat disagrees
What about those with the attention span of a Gnat?
What were we talking about ?
Great demo without a lot of unnecessary chit chat! Thanks!!! You just saved me $99 on a vacuum sealer!
It will still not beat a vacuum sealer , but it's the best way to get the air out of the bag manually. A vacuum sealer not only pulls the air out of the bag but it also pull the air out of the product or itself , most notably with meat . You can use it to marinate a meat significantly faster for example . It's a good investment, trust me . Don't blow 100 on expensive vacuum sealers , there are very good ones for 30 $ to 50 range .
This is the best video on the Internet! STRAIGHT to the point. Thank you 😊
Brilliant video. Straight to the point, no unnecessary preamble. Thank you!
Yeah, these are rare on TH-cam.
you needed a video for this. This is common sense. I been doing it since my vacuum sealer broke.
The fact that it’s this quick and simple… now I’m gonna go through all your videos. Instant subscribe
Been doing this for years and glad to see someone put it on video for others. I put a coffee stick in the corner and squeeze around the food to get out as much air as possible.
thanks for the tip!
If I'd have known I get 2.1 million views I 'd have already put the video up long ago.
Good tip 👍🏽
wtf is a coffee stick cmon broseph
@@GatMarksTheSpot LOL you know, those little coffee stirrers that look like miniature straws?
Not sure of your age, but nearly everyone over the age of 30 has a horror story where they tried slurping hot cocoa through one of those! 🤦♂😂
I have contemplated buying a food saver for over a decade but the bags are so expensive (50-72cents/bag) and I've seen a lot of complaints about bags failing. I considered a more expensive chamber vac and the bags are much less expensive (7.5cents) but a few years ago they were $550 and are now $1100. Ziploc gallon freezer bags are 12 cents and this technique is fantastic. In the past few days I cut up 2 large hams and packaged them into 6 freezer bags getting a perfect airless seal every time using this method. Additionally I also froze several packages of English muffins and it's amazing how the bag is sucked in around them, it's indistinguishable from a vacuum sealed bag. I'm so glad that I never made the mistake of buying a food saver or a chamber vac when this works so well and unlike those other options is completely silent and requires no equipment that takes up valuable kitchen real estate. I'm sure the vacuum sealers may do a slightly better job and you should have realistic expectations but this works great, well worth the maybe 1% difference. On a related note, we ONLY buy Ziplock gallon freezer bags as the quart sized are only 2.5cents/bag less as are the gallon STORAGE bags so not really worth buying anything but the gallon freezer bags. Generic gallon freezer bags are only 7cents/bag but honestly for the 100 bags or so we use in a year it's a matter of saving only $5/year and I prefer the Ziploc quality and features but you may feel differently. Thank you for showing this incredible technique so well.
How long can you store foods in the freezer before they get freezer burned? Thanks
@@Mandy_39 We do our best to rotate through everything in 6 months but even after a year it's still good. I just bought another 15lbs of ground beef and rotated the older to be on top of the new and in the next few weeks I'm going to make the Butterball turkey from around thanksgiving then the pork shoulder we bought on sale about 3 months ago. This will free up room for us to buy a dozen whole chickens when they go on sale for 99 cents/lb which is a 6 month supply for us.
@@Emivioricomex They're pretty much available everywhere and they should be near the quart size. Make sure you get the freezer ones which I use for everything as they're thicker and do a much better job in the freezer. Cheers!
@@tomj528 thank you!
First time seeing any of your videos. I was totally impressed with this. Love the way you get right to the point. Only way a video should be. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing more of your videos 😊
wow! I love this video! No time-wasting fluff and you just saved me 100.00 while avoiding having to buy a Seal-A-Meal. I'm going to subscribe.
everything was just so concise and to the point I couldn't help but like and subscribe
I've been doing this for years. Works awesome for fish. Once a seal bit my hand and stole my salmon filet when I was leaning over the dock vacuum packing. Safer to use a 5 gallon pale if there are predators that way you can avoid stitches. :)
Ew what if you get the fish wet?
Can you do it with fragile items like cookies?
Oh dear. Hopefully the great story you get to tell has well compensated you for the stitches and the loss of the fish.
@@nikiTricoteuse One thing is for sure, they were the most painful stitches I ever had. Lots of nerves in the hand and fingers. Cheers. :)
@@allancrow134 Yeah that makes sense. I worked in a special needs school and got bitten on the hand. "Luckily" human teeth aren't very sharp so only needed a couple of stitches as it was mostly a crush injury. The hepatitis vaccinations afterwards weren't very nice though. AND to add insult to injury (literally) the report Into my injury got their facts backwards and sent me a couple of menacing letters about a disciplinary review into my behaviour towards a student. 😳
That was about the time l decided that getting spat on, kicked, hit, bitten and scratched daily for minimum wage was not actually worth it.
Perfect timing. My FoodSaver had a habit of continuing to block up with food juice, subsequently causing the machine to take FOREVER to suck the air out of the following bag; I just put it in the donation bin. Brilliant. Cheers, Kenji!
Well this just saved me $80. Thank you!
Once again Kenji is to the point and easy to understand. Perfect.
Good teacher, straight to the point. Thanks for the easiness & clear clarification. I appreciate. We are looking for people like you.
Thank you for not making this a 10 min and 1 second video.
pro tip. use salt water for more dense water.
You the Man Stan, I was about to buy an expensive vacuum sealer but, you came along and saved me MONEY !, Money ! !, MONEY ! ! !
Chef for several years and this is completely new to me
This was awesome thank you so much at a time like this, this is very economical and friendly be blessed!
Omgoshhhhhhhhh ...U ARE A GENIUS!! THANKS A 1000,000! you saved me a buy not only of the vacuum sealer but the expensive bags!!! Big Thank you
Thanks man... nice precise and concise... without any mumbo jumbo.... Great!!
Thank you so much for sharing. Great idea
Excellent video! I would have never have thought of doing it this way. I'd been wanting to buy a vacuum for the last many years, but I didn't want to fork over the money to get buy one. You just saved me a LOT of money by not having to buy a vacuum saver and all the plastic bags I'd need to go with it. I give your video a THUMBS up!
KENJI: I have a quote that applies to You, Sir. "BRILLIANCE is the Art of Simplifying the Complex". It is a quote of my own from a Book that I wrote in 2016 called "Deception Squared". The quote perfectly aligns with your "Brilliant" demonstration of simply utilizing natural water pressure to vacuum seal food. It is Quiet, it is Cheap, It requires No electricity, It is quick, and it requires No special equipment. Plus it is EFFECTIVE. The very definition of my quote. I am soooooo Happy that I found your Video. Thank You! Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
So practical and easy! Thank you!
This man is an absolute legend when I heard his name I knew who he was. Thank you for all your cooking tips.

Tried it and it really works !
absolutely brilliant.
dude, you're the man !
best how to video on youtube.
Super de bonne idée je vais essayer dès aujourd'hui. Merci pour le bon conseil.
Not bad if you are vacuuming sealing in bulk. I personally prefer to use a straw to suck the air out of a similar sized opening. Then zip it closed while removing the straw from the bag using my mouth.
Great Idea!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Very nice method sir
One of the great discovery tick👍
brilliant! thank you for that home remedy..
this video is so helpful, I will use to make my halal beef jerky. thank you so much!!!!!
Great tip! Thanks!
Does it work using a toilet?
Yes
I can confirm this.
Yes, at your own risk. How does airtight piss/chlorine/feces particles sound like?
donbasuradenuevo
sounds like McD's
+mad thumbs nice
Brilliant and short! Thank for not wasting our time😂
So clever, love it
BRILLIANT!!! Thanks!
Wow that's so simple 👍
Thank you very much for this Tip !!!
Quick pro tip, substitute the water for mercury for an even tighter seal!
pro'er tip replace mercury with molten lead
Nah man, the lead acetate goes in the inside for that sweet flavor. The mercury is just for the god like powers you get from inhalation.
Look, I'm sure in 1985, mercury is available in every corner store, but in 2016, it's a little hard to come by.
thanks! will consider
+acarmyofone Great Scott!

Thanks dude, never thought a simple buoyant force law could be applied here.
such a good idea!!!
This video is superb👌👌👌
Best video ever.
Excellent
best tutorial on the internet
Thank you young man
I almost always double bag, especially for longer cooks, as I've observed that water passes through my Ziploc freezer bags. Its cheap insurance against ruined food, and the outside bag is clean. If my bags were better made so as to prevent transfer through the bags I wouldn't have to clean the immersion circulator (Anova) and stockpot after each cook. But even through two Ziploc freezer bags hung over the side and clipped my water ends up flavored, and there's a little water between the bags, but there isn't noticeable penetration into the inner bag with the food.
OMG! This is sooooo useful!!! Thank you👍
I love your Boston!!
Works perfect!
Brilliant! Thanks!😍❤
THANK YOU!
OMG! LOVE THIS
Great!!!! Thanks!!!
Great and fast tanks
