Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival VS110 Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Sealer, White
Customer Review: Great Time/Money saving kitchen tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this as a gift after discussions with the gift giver about how we both thought something like this would be a great product. I am thrilled with it! I have been using it on a fairly regular basis for over a year now. The closing mechanism is a bit tough, and I wouldn't recommend it for someone with poor dexterity or arthritis, however, for the average person, a few tries whoul be all it takes to get the hang of the locking mechanism.
I buy all my meat in bulk and seal them in meal size portions. I have even boiled my meat right in the bag!! I also have made large meals with lots of leftovers and have sealed those away for easy re-heating (you can really put a whole meal on a plate and seal it all in).
A few tips:
1-Liquids should be frozen first. I usually cut the bag longer than I need, seal it without vacuuming out the air, and freeze the liquid solid (works great for soups or broths!!). Then once frozen, I sliver off the sealed end of the bag, and then use the vacuum/sealing mechanism. Soups are then frozen, and can be re-heated right in the sealed bag!!
2-Make sure you use big enough bags. The only time I have ever had real problems with getting the bag on the sealing mechanism correctly is when I tried to use a too small bag for the job.
3-Buy the big bags and disposable foil food pans. Make casseroles and lasagna ahead of time, freeze right in the pan, write the cooking/re-heating instructions right on the bag. It's great for when someone is home alone and needs to throw something in the oven or when you feel the need to drop off something at a friend or neighbor's house!
I highly recommend for the price. Of all my kitchen appliances that are not used daily, this one is certainly the most useful!!
Description of Rival VS110 Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Sealer, White
Saving America's food, money, and time for over 35 years by keeping food fresher longer, the Seal-A-Meal is simple to operate and clean. It's equipped with Microban anti-bacterial material to inhibit the growth of bacteria and keep the unit cleaner. You can choose to simply seal or to vacuum seal with the push of a button.The Rival VS110 Seal-a-Meal lets you preserve your leftovers, bulk foods, and important documents far more effectively than using zipper-lock bags or plastic wrap. Oxygen and moisture are the mortal enemies of fresh food and other items; therefore, it stands to reason that the best way to preserve such items is by removing the oxygen. That's exactly the approach of the Seal-a-Meal, which vacuums oxygen out of included pre-cut plastic bags or rolls, then seals the plastic with its bag cutter. Now you can keep not only food fresh for far longer, but also treasured photographs, collectible books, birth certificates, or even certain items of clothing. The Seal-a-Meal comes with more than 50 feet of high-density bags, along with an integrated bag/roll holder and cutter. The unit uses Microban antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, though it will not protect the user from food-borne illnesses. As an added bonus, the sealer offers an accessory port that connects to the separately sold Universal Sealer, which seals items in canisters and mason jars. Other features include a convenient wall mount option and a removable, dishwasher-safe drip tray. --Rivers Janssen
