@RRP314 it seems that the seal you created gets broken as you pull the bag out of the food saver around 4:15 mark. Was that the case, or does it just seem that way? I got some dry bags and will use your method, but I'm just wondering how successful you've been with an actual subprimal.
I honestly had not noticed that little giggle or shift at 4:15 until you mentioned it and have since replayed it several times. What I believe it was was a "split second" where the intense vacuuming had ended and the bag got sealed. If you watched the rest you'll see the bag stayed tight. The other thing you need to know is with the Drybag a perfect vacuum is not needed - just enough to permit the enzymes to bond with the bag. As for real usage with meat - yes I have with success!
@RRP314 I used your method. Worked just fine. I only have two comments that I think can improve the process for those using this model of Food Saver. Mine looks exactly like yours in this video, but it may not actually be the same model, mine is V2440. (comments in the next post)
1. When you do the second seal, you don't have to hit the press and seal button, you can just use the seal button.
2. My model also has a Canister button, and if you use that, it will allow you to control how long the food saver sucks the air out. Hit Canister to start vacuuming, then hit Canister again to stop vacuuming, then hit Seal to seal.
My air tight bag which came with the Food Saver does not hold the air for too long. I know the machine works perfectly and seals it tight first, but after about 30 days or longer, the bag gets loosen. I had collectible coins in couple bags and it sealed really nice and tight at first, but after a while all my coins were loose in all the bags. Do you have any tip ?
First of all let's be clear - your problem is NOT with the product DrybagSteak...you are having trouble with Food Saver bags. As long as you feel you are getting a good solid seal then the obvious problem is you have some faulty bag material. I've had it happen myself - but not a regular problem like you seem to. Based on what you said it sounds like a mere pin hole is at fault. Good luck.
@urkingod You can also put a oxygen absorber in to the bag before sealing, this will absorb any oxygen that gets in. some bags are so thin that oxygen can slowly penetrate the pours of the plastic.
You could also seal a new bag over the old bag with a new roll of bags that hopefully don't have a pin hole in them.
huh? prolonging the life of an inexpensive mushroom with the use of either a Drybag or a FoodSaver bag doesn't make any economical sense. Were you thinking that it would dehydrate the mushroom or something?
@RRP314 as i watched other vid about foodsaver this would help like fruits and vege to maintain the freshness,,,,i dont think the word maintain is the proper word to say so....
This video of mine was to show people how to use a Food Saver to seal a unique bag called a DrybagSteak used to dry age large sub-primals of meat . The Drybag breathes, while the Food Saver bag does not - that's a big difference. Please research the subject Food Saver and you can find your answers.
if you're able to seal the dry bag with the foodsaver, why is it even necessary to have the sleeve? I thought the foodsaver's sealing element is too harsh for the dry bag?
The Drybag plastic collapses very easily tricking the Food Saver into thinking it has drawn a vacumm and it then goes into sealing mode. The FS sleeve prevents that and allows the air to be extracted and then you trip the sealing process. The FS element is not too harsh as my final stage of sealing the Drybag on to itself proves. I have heard one guy claim his FS melted the plastic but he's been the only one.
not familiar with the model you call a vertical upright F/S - but I wonder if it's the one that has a continuous bag roll supply underneath. If so you will have to merely lay it on its back so as to get the sub primal closer to the sealing wire. There is a bit of manipulation involved and whether your sub primal is 10 pounds or 16 pounds you'll want to be able to coax the air out of the bag with both hands rather than trying to lift the bag and meat up in the air. Does this make sense to you?
I only have a vertical upright Food Saver. Can this be done with that? My only hang up with trying the drybag is indeed having to buy the vacuum sealer
Very good, thank you for showing this method. It should certainly be a money saving exercise!
