Great to hear, bordercollie!  PM me if you need any tips on sealing liquids...it took me a lost batch of stock to work out the kinks :)

I tried to post this over the weekend, but my crazy IPad has been giving me problems

. I loved the ideal of vacuum sealing, but I would only use it when I felt that it was most appropriate, mainly due to the cost of the bags. I really believe that by vacuum sealing you can extend the shelf life and quality of you product. I have gone through 4 of the traditional vacuum sealers over the last 3-4 years.  Using the “make your own rolls” of bag material….. I even went as far as to alternate between 2 machines so I would not overheat them…….Really did not work well……. Over the summer I was fortunate enough to buy a Vacmaster VP112…… unfortunately I did not do my homework and get it from Ms. Lisa, but I did contact her after the fact and buy my bags from her. She was really nice and very helpful….. The bags were very stout and I will not be buying my bags from anyone else…… At the time I bought 1000 bags of 2 different sizes, one close to a quart size (6x12) and 1000 of a 12x12, close to a gallon size. Since I bought the VP112 it sits on my counter in my kitchen and I have to say I use it at the minimum of 3-4 times a week, I love my VP112, it is one of the best pieces in equipment in my kitchen!!! It is a little of an investment, but well worth every penny !!!! ShoneyBoy

I also picked up a vp 112.   It sits on my counter and has bagged 10 deer, sausages, jerky, soups, stews, meat balls, roast pork shoulder, 50lbs of oats, and 50 lbs of rice. 

It gets used daily.

I have the VP215 and love it.

Many many thanks to Lisa for a wonderful chamber sealer, I LOVE my chamber sealer. I am late replying because of my niece's wedding, Christmas and much physical work on the cattle farm. However, I smoked about 8 pork butts on my Smokin-it #3 and  my sister and I gave pulled pork( in Lisa's great chamber bags) to many people for Christmas. I put portion sized amounts in a bag, chamber sealed it nice and snug) , and  the folks were so proud of it.  Mostly because they can reach in the freezer, grab it and warm it up in a simmering pot with no loss of quality.  I put it on the counter at first, but then  put some heavy duty full extension  drawer slides on a cabinet drawer and now I can pull out my chamber sealer and seal left overs and my grilled and smoked food - just as soon as it is cool enough. I will post a picture of my handsome chamber sealer as soon as I can. haha!   Thanks again to Lisa!!!   judy

Ok, I  grilled steaks the other night and had an extra.. I chamber sealed it  with a few mushrooms and sweet peppers. All had been grilled with the steak.  Came in tired from a cold day on the farm and dropped the chamber sealed package in simmering water. What a wonderful  supper!  Juicy.. Yum. Yum.

I put  the  50 lb plus sealer in a  cabinet drawer using 100 lb  full extension glides.  Just  slide out and just plug in use it where it is. I do love this VP115  from vacuum sealers unlimited and can't wait to do some more  smoking.    judy

Judy,

That drawer is a perfect fit for that sealer!  That worked out great.

I'm so glad that you're putting the VP 115 to good use.  Thanks so much for the business!

. I  can't believe it operates so quietly. Here is a picture of some of the 14 hr smoked  pulled pork that I chamber sealed  and gave out as gifts. 

 

[supercenterchef]

Beautiful set up bordercollie...you'll keep loving it, I'm sure!

 

[bordercollie]

Thank you SupercenterChef .   You post is what  encouraged me to take the leap!  :)      I am  really pleased.. A+        Buying some pork butts tomorrow and plan to use  the sealer for the pulled pork. My nephew is in medical school and loves having the vacuum sealed meals ready at the go with all the  competitive, hard studying, leaving him no time to cook.   :)     judy
