- I bought this vacuum sealer from Sorbent Systems. It is a snorkel type vacuum sealer. It is also capable of vacuum sealing mylar bags.

Where I bought the little vacuum sealer:

I've used and loved my foodsaver for a long time, but the price of the bags was *killing* me! After watching this vid, I rushed right over to SorbentSystems and bought the snorkel vac and a nice assortment of bags. It got here yesterday, and of course I had to try it out. I LOVE it! I will still use the foodsaver for certain things, but this one is my new fave! GREAT tip about the paper towel. Thank you!!!!
On the soap - Manufacturers double wrap their soap bars to retain moisture. They do this because a soft soap bar sloughs off more soap than a hard bar and thus you go back to buy another package of soap sooner and they make more money in the long run. When I buy soap, I always unwrap and leave all the bars from a package in the open air to harden before I use them. I still get plenty of soap for washing and the bars last a lot longer.
I am a retired vocational teacher and have demo a few demos. Your demo was excellent. We process our own produce for sale and want to vacuum the product. The cost of the Food Saver bags just wouldn't let us do it. Thank you for the link to the seal you use. It is also cheaper than the Food Saver.
So glad I found your video. I just bought an old vacuum sealer at a garage sale and spent about $9 for 20 quart size vacuum bags. This will be a lot better value.
I want to thank you for all your help here. Your videos have saved me a lot of time and money in knowing which way to go on vacuum sealers. I would like to crown you the "queen" of food sealers for all your knowledge and help. Please keep up the good work.
Today, I went to the local supermarket for a newspaper, and ran into a meat sale. So, I grabbed a bunch of seasoning ham hocks and neck bones for this year's Thanksgiving dinner.
Then, I unboxed my new vacuum sealer (same as yours + 1,000 bags) and watched this video. I watched it three times. The third time, I moved simultaneously with you. When you moved, I moved. I caught every snag you mentioned. And, since I had so much meat to seal, I just kept on moving as you did.
By the last bag of meat, I consider myself skilled in using my new vacuum sealer! I even resized one bag!
Is it OK to say, "'I love you?"
Now. Could you make a video showing how to seal up something drippy, LOL???
Hugs!!!
Freeze the drippy stuff before you vacuum seal it.
Thank you so much for your video on Sorbent vacuum sealers. I have wanted a vacuum sealer for years but couldn't justify the cost of the Foodsaver bags. I bought the Sorbent system and I love it. I am single and retired so it has been hard to cook for one person. Now I have the ability to cook big batches and freeze without the problem of freezer burn. Enjoy your videos.
Socks and paper towels...ingenious! I gave up on sealing a lot of foods like rice and pasta, since they always ended up losing their seal. The sock idea is definitely worth a try. Thank you!
imstillworkin - I bought this same unit probably about the time you made this video, a good ten years ago, maybe a bit less, but for some reason I never used and then it got 'misplaced' by my wife (one spring cleaning) as, well, I never used it.
Now I'm ready to start playing with Sous Vide, so I tore the house upside down looking for, but for months, never found it. Finally, just a few days ago, I found it, hiding pretty much in plain sight.
Anyway, your vid was very informative and will no doubt lead to a lot less of beating my head against the wall. I am just about to use it for the first time. Point being, thank you very much.
ps - I've checked out your channel and subscribed. I see there are many more vids of yours that I wlll be checking. Thanks for all of that as well.
Here is a tip that I do with every time I use it......
Place a book in front of the device, place the food in the bag on the book and then
vac / seal as normal. Having the bags level with the device is so helpful. 😁 👍🏼
i thank you for an awesome video. i saw so many videos on people trying all sorts of tricks on sealing a mylar bag with a food saver that it was very depressing, but after watching your video, im sold on that lil sorbit machine. im definitely ordering it, thank you
Good, simple, down-home demonstrations. Thank you very much for making this video. My mother just purchased a Caso VC100 sealer for me. I know it's a bit different that the sealer shown in the video but I still found it very helpful.
That is brilliant.
You have the gift of thinking outside the box.
I love your channel.
Huh never thought about a sock! and the little paper towel. Those very creative ideas I will certainly give them a try. Thanks for the ideas.
Good tips! Any tip on vacuuming food with some liquid?
It's funny how people are so different...my mom used to buy Dove soap bars and keep them for months before using as they would harden (a.k.a. dry out) so that they do not 'melt' or disintegrate as much in the bathroom/water (last longer) and you are doing the exact opposite.
You definitely know how to "work" your sealer. Good on you Mam. Merry Christmas.
I been looking for a vacuum sealer and found this sealer website. Im glad to see a video on how they handle. They are so much cheaper than the foodsaver brand and then you have to buy foodsaver nags so they really can stick it to you that way too. I think I will go with the Sorbent sealer myself. The downfall they have is no tube for jar canning. I guess I can live with out that feature.
SorbentSystems website is virtually unheard of to the lay person. Thank you for posting this video! They should be hiring you to do their marketing. You've answered many of the questions I had, but forgot to ask their customer service.
Awesome, simply awesome; this woman has a problem solving mind. Why did I not think of that?
I think paper shopping bags should work inside a food saver bag. Im always having problems with dehydrated foods poking holes through those cheap bags. I may try that today and see how it works. I may start saving bags that food come in that are thick, as well. I can use them as liners, too. Where theres a will, theres a way. Thanks for sparking some ideas in me wee brain...lol
What a wonderful little video!! So informative! Been using a foodsaver for a while but still really learned a lot from this video!! Big thanks!!
Great tips! I love my foodsaver, but it does have limitations. I will be investing in a nozzle type sealer soon! Thanks for the time you spent.
Yes this vacuum sealer will also seal mylar bags. The only downside to this sealer is that it doesn't have a way to use an attachment to vacuum seal jars. If it had that, I think this vacuum sealer would be perfect.
Nice tutorial! I love to see new lifehacks!
If you place a large book in front of the sealer and rest your bag on it it is much easier to keep the bag flat and free of creases .
***** That split second it takes for the snorkel to retreat before the sealing bar descends is enough to push in some air. Considering the enormous force generated by atmospheric pressure. You might want to consider using o2 absorbers in conjunction. A true vacuum seal without those ribbed bags is either an internal chambered vacuum sealer (expensive) or using ziplock cutouts from the ends of ziplockbags (to form a channel) on a Foodsaver style (non retreating snorkel) sealer. Good video though ;)
ENORMOUS force of atmosphere? Hardly. It's only 14.7 psi at sea-level. My car tire has twice that.
Since I have a FoodSaver, I have been using it. One question I have is when vacuum packing dry beans, is there a problem with leaving the beans in their original bag? The bags seem to be very porous, and I have no problem pulling a vacuum inside the Foodsaver bag.
I'm so frustrated with my brand new Sorbent sealer. The vacuum sealer is extremely hard to pull down & when I close the lid it won't suck the air out. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
THANK YOU for sharing your video I really like your idea about the sock
I was trying to come up with a way to do corn. rice in the food saver bags
I really don't want to use a mason jar they can break in a quake, or dropped
on the ground please have a MERRY XMAS N A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Could I use a tipical freezer bag?
Hi! I have been watching your channel for some time, just love it!
What is the name and model of the little vacuum sealer shown at 0:29?
Great video.....Thanks for the tips....I just got on of these in.....take care
does it have a timer that turns off the vacuum or you can just run the vacuum until you see it's tight enough and manually seal it?
Hi, you run it until it's tight enough.
Hello, this device brings the possibility of connecting the collector of liquid from behind ? Thank you!
So if you cut the end off the zip lock bag it will still work. and how much was it.
I put the bag of food on a cutting board to lift the food/bag up so the bag doesn't collapse at the vacuum device.
I can't find these elusive cheaper non textured smooth bags, where do you find them?
Yeah!!!
How long should the flower be good for now that is has all the air taken out of the bag?
If you seal some coffee with the SnorkelVac will the smell still get out of the bag?
Hi! Thanks for the demonstration, very helpful but could you be so kind and spell the name of those plastic bags that you use for me please? Thanks!
Did you use a folded piece of paper towel to cover the nozzle? Your hands were hiding the view.
Thank you, I'm glad it helped!
blessings 💗
It took me FOREVER to find this video! I watched it when you first posted it but I already had a Food Saver system but I was very intrigued with the snorkle vac. My Food Saver died and I'm in the market for a new system. Is the snorkle vac still working ;) ? If it is are you still happy with it?
I got THOUSANDS of uses out of that vacuum sealer before it finally died. I recently tried to buy another one from a couple of companies but so far have been unsuccessful. It seems like folks aren't trying very hard to stay in business these days. I hope you have better luck than me. It's called a Sinbo vacuum sealer.
@@imstillworkin if I do I will let you know!
@@imstillworkin I just bought one from Sorbent Systems; it should be here by Wednesday. They call it a Kitchen Fresh or something but it is the same sealer. I paid 99.00 but with my bag order I got a 10.00 discount. I ordered online but they had a question about my order. Jeremy , who was filling my order, called me. I thought that was pretty good customer service!
nice job on your vid. Can you vacuum jars with the SnorkelVac? or do I need another machine for that? thanks much!
When doing the flour did you put the paper towel under the little nozzle or over it? I could not tell for positive. Thanks so much for posting this!
it doesn't matter if you put it under or over it will work either way
Can you vacuum seal pre packaged foods? Like macaroni and cheese or rice mixes?
NO ... bad sealing practices. you do not seal a bag that has a bag inside of it. oxygen will be left inside of your original packaging especially if it is plastic. there would be no purpose to reseal it it would last no longer than if you did not seal it at all
SURE... as long as it's dry or frozen. Just be sure to punch some holes first in the original bag so it can suck the air out of that too.
Thank you very much.
Put dry bay leaves in your flour, cereals, etc. and it will keep those critters away.
Why not put the flour in a paper bag tape the top then vacuum seal it, that may be easier
The machine won't be able to suck out the air from a bag inside a bag, you would be left with air inside the first bag of flour.
Paper is porus though so air should be extracted as the paper bags aren't air tight
can i vacuum no too oily food like dry patties?
*fry
Como eu posso comprar esta celadora.
I have Decosonic Pak'nSave its it vacuum need video model 838
Okay thank you
Amazon offers a separate hose attachment for around $8.
make sure it's from Impak Sytems...Sorbent Systems is is a subsidiary of the manufacturer Impak. The model shown in this video is known as the kitchen fresh - 108 or KF - 108.
It's the first I ever heard of that attachment available for this model I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I've never seen one
No, the Ziploc bags won't hold a vacuum seal.
This woman doesn't tell you that the bagging material must be thick or else the plastic will melt on your sealing strip. Then you're Screwed
Doug Snider she did say the thin kind don't hold a seal, that should've been good enough to assume not to use crap plastic...She's not selling this to you, she was showing what works for her, and the little tricks she uses. It's not her job to feed you information. It's also not her fault if you use plastic that the manufacturer of the vacuum sealer tells you not to. Read your damn instructions.

Thanks,Good Tip's
Two words: large coffee filters ( ok that was three words) they fold over nicely
How about Mylar bags?
it would seal mylar bags safely I would say up to 4 mil however I was told it would seal up to 5.
If they would upgrade to include that feature I could do away with my Foodsaver all together!
Thank you
send my one with bags :)
Hi, everybody.
We are manufacturer of this machine.
+Kim C. Jin Am interested in buying this machine do you have a website so i can purchase?
