old'un Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) got the Lidl one, wouldn't be without it, helps stop freezer burn, they were doing them again about two weeks ago £20 and the vacuum bag rolls, they sometimes turn up on Ebay. rolls are much better and they come in different widths, just seal one end and then cut to the desired length.

I have used the cheaper LIDL ones to good effect, I have recently bought the SOUS VIDE professional vacum packer, €150 delivered and my advice is if you intend using a vacuum packer alot, buy this model, it is the rolls Royce of vacum packer. I use vacuum packer ALOT for plucked woodcock, pheasants, ducks, cuts / joints of venison ,fish etc. You can buy the rolls in various sizes. Price around for them cause price varies alot, they aren't near as cheap as a vacuum chamber bags, because they are embossed. If you look up BUTCHERS SUNDRIES they are good value for embossed vacum rolls. LIDL too are good value, but they only come in once or twice a year.

moondoggy Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Bought this one from Sous Vide Tools. https://www.sousvidetools.com/vacuum-sealers/sousvidetoolsr-vs270p-vacuum-sealer Very happy with it. Note: it only works with embossed bags. Bought a large roll of it to make bags to a size that suits.

I use both, but mainly rolls I have only had one - and I have been very happy with the one I bought, but it's no longer available. Excellent for burgers and meat in general. Also good for 'batch cooked stews, curries etc. Freeze in a silicone tray (like a giant individual icecube tray) and vac pack the frozen block.

old'un Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 We have the Silvercrest vacuum sealer, had it a few years now, does all we need and still working fine. Plenty on Ebay but this one is offering a discount at checkout with code...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354116800129?epid=18046921197&hash=item5273018e81:g:zMIAAOSwK~1ht-bh&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8LfSClHAumGHz57KzmjRxn0GhoVTSsOnx1qPMvG%2Fr7yGtOyJMe0cKZ2n0CDdsf4xMmvm6Hk2i5Mumq06oFaYjtCjOFFIhnfd1i8nyTvEuQUEctYXGDaRVYmeYPm5F0%2BNqiyzUOUWq8xOrovCuLX8A6YPX4Pn1iHJFvvvXL1glKEKrxuD9lPGXUptNsEIRn37iNPhL%2BN6BqZZ0E5M5wtEtEzYbwqCqD1cXsSwh287wG7ScPHP%2FAPg6Ez6IcUZr5V0JvH1NZCElsy0Z5lyY%2FI2bhJ8pVVKcuf1kChsANO6v%2Bzblup5VXauWkNiBSdFqxxoRw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMqNL-4YRj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
