I researched the best vacuum sealer bags lately because I want to keep my food fresh longer and cut down on waste. I checked reviews from The New York Times, Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, and these two options are often listed as the top choices:
Only because they are commonly available do I use FoodSaver brand bag 6” and 11” rolls, cut to my various desired lengths. I learned the hard was not to be stingy with bag length, cutting them long enough to cuff twice to prevent contaminating the heat seal, AND to allow reopening a bag to amend the seasoning, OR to allow inclusion of a weight. Leak proof is a function of a proper heat seal, and I frequently cycle the heat tape in the same place twice.
I am quite pleased with my ANOVA products, my PC Pro and my Vacuum Sealer Pro, maybe now heading into their fourth year of frequent use.
I am fan of chef preserve bags that are thick reusable BPA free vacuum-seal storage bags that lock in freshness resist leaks and odors and are safe for freezer microwave and dishwasher cleanup great for meal prep or sous-vide cooking
