Mine is a small white rectangular style.<br /><br />I also tried those ziplock bags they advertised last year that would be as good as vacuum bags. They were a lot quicker to use but after a few weeks, I had a lot of frost inside the bags and the food had that freezer taste. I was upset with myself for being too lazy to seal it properly. I ruined a lot of blueberries!<br /><br />What I do is flash freeze the item on a platter. Once it's frozen (or mostly frozen) I put it in the vacuum bag, seal it up and it's perfect when you eat it. You have to flash freeze it first if the item is moist, otherwise you suck up all the moisture into the mechanism of the vacuum sealer.<br /><br />It is one appliance that will go in the MH when we go fulltime.<br /><br />It's also great for dry items that you may not use often, keeps them from getting buggy or attracting mice in the MH. <br /><br />I have also used one for kayaking for things like first aid stuff that I don't want to get wet. <br /><br />KarenKaren and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161788234467281852.post-8076281979890440192010-03-09T07:48:06.324-05:002010-03-09T07:48:06.324-05:00Do you like that brand of vacuum sealer?

I've been using ziplock bags to freeze all the seabass and flounder we get in the summer and the venison products in the winter.<br /><br />ConnieConnie and Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324923679408549696noreply@blogger.com
