It works!!!

We tried our Crofton food sealer today and it works!! I am so happy! It comes with two sized bags and you can buy more bags from any manufacturer. We sealed 2 pork roasts and two bags of pork chops, plus one beef roast. All the meat was frozen, although the pork roasts had been in the refrigerator for a couple hours.


The first pork roast we sealed leaked a very tiny bit of juice, but not enough to affect the sealing. The directions say to use a paper towel to absorb it. The second roast, pictured on the left, has a paper towel added as a barrier between the meat and the opening. I might add that if the frozen food has frost on it that starts to melt you should be careful of that as well. The machine exerts quite a bit of force when extracting the air, so you don't want it sucking up moisture. Here is a picture.

First roast on the right, second on the left.

Now those roasts should last a very long time with no freezer burn. I am very happy with this unit. Only $35 at Aldi.

Oh, forgot to mention, I got my Nov/Dec AVSA magazine last week. Should get the missing Sep/Oct one soon because I called them last Monday.
