Title: Néw Foodsaver
Post by: LostArrow on February 21, 2015, 03:17:03 PM
After careful research I ordered and received a new food saver professional super saver Kit I decided I wanted this model because it was a manual model . I have had two food savers over the last 15 years the first Immanuel lasted for about 12 years the second one is a automatic model. it's about three years old it still works however sometimes with the automatic system you have to hold your mouth, your bag and twirl your left foot in a circle in order to get it to seal.
My automatic model is also not very good for ceiling more than two or 3 gallon bags without having to stop. The New model is supposed to seal up to 25 times without needing to cool down, we'll see how that works.The next criteria with the food saver fit on the counter and not look so ugly my wife would Mikey may put it away.I found that I use the food saver much more often if it's on the counter and easy to use as opposed to when I stored it in the cabinet and had to take 5 to 7 minutes to find everything and get it set up.
I opened it up put it on the counter fits pretty well looks okay to me will see how Miss Ford likes it. Only did one Seal with it just to see how it worked easily sealed a pork butt .
Cooking 20 pounds of chicken leg quarters tomorrow that I'm mainly going to see your two quarters in a bag I'll get an idea of how it works ceiling multiple banks in a row and I'll post again tomorrow few pics of how it looks.
PS this is my first attempt at using voice dictation portion of Siri to make a post all grammatical and misspoken words are her fault ::)

As I read, I though, "he's dictating this post"...I was able to translate most of it.

B T W, I like your spoon rest...we have one just like it which you probably saw when you were here and decided you had to have one like it so you bought it somewhere...nice.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to do a Second Line instead. :P

Back to the topic ::)
So far very happy with new foodsaver!
Works well with my generic bags, the automatic likes Foodsaver brand better.
Supposed to be better for multiple seals than my other , not sure the motor is better, but it at least has cooling vents.
So far sealed 3 butts in large bags at one time, & 10 lbs leg quarters at another with no slowing down.
So far I think it's a winner
