Could You store Raw meat and Cooked meat in the zip vac?

Very Nice Video Steve!

@Trazor2k0 Yes but you would have to refrigerate or freeze it. It is just like the seal a meal just easier to use. Thanks for watching

Do you notice a difference in how effective both the manual and electric pump are?

[shilohtv]

@thehawk4231 The both work well the electric is a bit faster, but I would be happy if all they had was the pump

Good vid all in all. This is just my opinion. I have used zipvac. They do not hold a vacuum. I tried removing items but no avail. I invested in a Foodsaver Vac Sealer and wow. It works very well. Also I found a way to make black bags to keep light out. Use 3 or 4 mil heavy duty contractor clean up bags. you can make your own size and vac seal them. Good vid though.

@shilohtv There are quite a few places that sell them online like the ready store, camping survival, etc. The cheapest way to buy is bulk or cases. I haven't seen them down to $5 though except if you buy a whole year supply.

Food saver and Zip Loc both make these bags and they both leak. The air valve on these looks different. Think I ll try and find these and try them. Thanks.
