tell me about your food sealer

[Ronda93]

I'm considering a vacuum food sealer. Do you have one? Which one? How do you like it? Would you recommend it? Do you use it a lot? What non-food uses have you found for it?

Thanks DIS.

We just got one...I've been wanting one for awhile and we looked and looked, and I did some research online.

We bought a Tilia. The reviews on them are really good.

And after having one for just a few weeks, I have to say...

I LOVE IT!!

I haven't even started really using it, but I'm very impressed and now I just have to get some more of the canisters!

I don't have one, but on one of the cooking groups I belong too, seems almost everyone that has one has the Tilia.

I have one I received a while back. FOOD SAVER I think....not sure of the brand.

I use it mainly for marinating meat. I purchased some additonal large canisters that steaks, chicken or fish can fit into. The vacuum causes the meat to 'open' up more and allow the marinate to sink in better. And because it's vacuum sealed I can leave the meat out to reach room temperature before cooking (makes the meat more tender)
