The folks over at SealSaver sent me a set of their SealSaver vacuum canister sets
The containers can go in the refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. The tops should not be put in the microwave they say, but the containers themselves can be. And cleanup is a snap since everything can go in the dishwasher. These are easy enough for kids to use (and kind of fun for them as well). I did have an issue with one of the canisters not sealing and wrote to ask them about it. Here’s what they said:
“The guys behind Invental Laboratory Inc. (Jeff and Eric) found that there were a small percentage of canisters where the seal wasn’t working properly. They’ve quickly addressed the issue by instructing the manufacturer to recalibrate the casting process, and they have also added a final step where the canister is manually tested before shipment to customers, ensuring the best possible seal. This has fixed the problem and they have not had any defective products since they implemented these extra steps in their quality control. Please remind your readers to always wash the canisters (remember, dishwasher safe!) before using every SealSaver.”
Their web site has a nice set of photos, recipes, FAQs, and more. Go over there to learn more or buy them, or you can buy them from Amazon as well. And they told me that if you’re local to the Monterey and Santa Cruz stores, there are a few stores in the area carrying them.
Vacuum sealing will help you waste less food for sure. And marinating in a vacuum environment is great. When I first bought my FoodSaver, I made a great yogurt marinated chicken. But you can also keep vegetables fresh longer, crackers crisper, and so forth.
