Vacuum Sealer Rolls

Vacuum Sealer rolls are great for making "just the right-size" bags! Don't waste money buying a bunch of varying sizes of vacuum-sealer bags.

Consider purchasing these rolls in varying lengths and widths, so make sure you don't get ones that are too wide for your particular machine.

Vacuum sealer rolls make it very convenient when you have long-length foods that you want to store, such as spaghetti!

No need to break the spaghetti in half to store it! In fact, I left the spaghetti in its box... just in case I forget how long to cook it :-) you know, different varieties have different cooking times!

Wipe Away Residue from
the Vacuum Sealer Rolls

NOTE: I have noticed the white printed section (for you to write the bag's contents on the vacuum sealer rolls) tends to 'come off' and stick to the lower heating element strip and the upper roller of the machine.

Don't worry, this white residue wipes off easily with a clean, damp cloth.

I wipe down the Foodsaver heating element strip immediately when I see the white powdery-stuff on it—so it doesn't hamper future bag sealings. It's good practice, anyway, to keep your roller and strip clean. You'll create a tight seal, and that's definitely what we're aiming for.

You can easily get these at the same place you purchased your vacuum sealer machine from, or over the internet and shipped right to your door! Check out our picks from Amazon, near the bottom of the page.

How To Create Your Own Bags

It's easy to create your own vacuum-sealer bags—just follow the three steps below. Take the time to cut across the width at a 90-degree angle!

1. Cut off the desired length of bag at right angles, i.e. cut it STRAIGHT across at 90 degrees. If you keep the cut straight, you'll have an easier time vacuuming it. Not only that, you'll have rectangular bags and not odd misshapen parallelogram bags!
2. Seal one end. Add your food to be vacuumed, along with an oxygen absorber.
3. Vacuum and seal the custom-length bag! Write the contents on it too, and the date.

NOTE: After vacuuming our bags, I pull out a 2ft length (approx.) of plastic wrap. I then wrap the package in it! This extra wrap takes care of sharp pointy corners, as is the case when vacuuming the whole spaghetti box.

Rolls Provide An Extra Layer of Protection

Another good reason to use plastic wrap is if a vacuumed-bag seal gives way during storage, then the plastic wrap acts as an extra air- and water-tight layer!

My real reason for using plastic wrap is to keep the bags from accidentally puncturing each other in the first place, when you are putting them in the Mylar bags for long-term storage.

When I've created smaller packages of dehydrated food and have used the regular vacuum-sealer bags, I also wrap them with the plastic wrap. I created a page on how to quickly wrap a filled and fully sealed vacuum-sealer bag as a quick pictorial here.

You may wonder how foods can puncture bags? Well, if you bought a cheaper brand (read: less than 3 mil. thick) you are likely to encounter punctures, sorry. But the main reason for punctures is this: as our foods dry, they become hard, and brittle in some cases. And sharp! It's those darned sharp edges that cause trouble.

Cocooning our vacuum-sealed packages in plastic wrap helps take care of other bags getting punctured from one rogue bag while they're nestled inside a Mylar bag.
