SmallBBQr Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hey John, Any news/updates on your chamber sealer? I'm so close to pulling the trigger as my vacuum sealer is started to weaken badly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so close to pulling the trigger as my vacuum sealer is started to weaken badly.... This one is performing up to my expectations so far. I am still happy with it.. have probably sealed 75 bags or so to this point. The only issue i have run into so far is that the teflon tape across the sealer bar wrinkled up and I felt that it might not be making the best seal after that happened. I dinked around with it and couldn't get it straightened out adequately so I pulled it off and replaced it with some of the extra tape that came with the unit. I am gonna buy a new roll of that tape (it's really cheap) to see if I can get one that might be a little better quality than the one that came with it....

philpom Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Wow and I just bought a new sealer. What are the dimensions on this? Wonder if I have a place for it. That is killer for $350 as long as the pump lasts and the sealing strip doesn't burn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with extra teflon tape for the sealer bar and i believe one of the things that came with it was a replacement sealing strip.. not sure.... lol philpom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
&roid Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I’ve got a similar cheap unit here in the UK that I’ve had for a couple of years now and it’s still going strong. Brand is Buffalo and it’s their light duty model. I really wouldn’t want to be without it, it’s amazing for packing things before freezing, completely eliminates the risk of freezer burn. And obviously does a great job of prepping food for sous vide cooking. Probably my favourite use though is doing quick pickles. Just slice up some veggies (red cabbage, onions, cucumber, fennel and radishes are some of my faves), bag with some vinegar and salt (plus sugar or other seasonings if you like) and run through 1-3 vacuum cycles. There’s no need to seal between each cycle. The vacuum will rupture the cell walls in the plant then when you let air back in the pickling liquid is forced into the vegetable. The more cycles you run the softer the texture and the more the vinegar will permeate the pickle - hard veg like cabbage takes a couple of cycles, cucumbers only one. Its amazing being able to turn out a pickled veg in just minutes and has really changed the way we cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I bought it on amazon but it's not quite the right size. I need to measure and find something a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
