Rave for Ziploc Vacuum Freezer bags!

Ok, like I said, my posts may vary on subjects just because well there's not a whole lot I can talk about regarding Landon and the military especially the deployment. So to keep it interesting I will probably post about all kinds of things. So, last night I was thinking, I'd like to put out a review on a product that I have been using a lot recently and really like. I wanted to let others know about it and have a review from someone that has tried it.

So today my review will be over the Ziploc Vaccuum Freezer Bags


http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages/VacuumFreezerSystem.aspx

I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's cheap and easy to use. Obviously the Food Saver Vacuum Sealers like this one,


are better and higher quality, but they can also cost around $100-$150, so if you don't want to spend that and you don't plan to vacuum seal a lot of things, the Ziploc bags are perfect!

You need to buy the starter kit first, it comes with the hand pump and 3 ziploc bags and runs about $3-$6.

  • I like that it's easy to use, I've never used it with liquids, so I can't say how that works. Mostly I've used it to freeze meat, such as chicken, hamburger meat, etc. All you do is put your meat inside, zip it, pull out the hand pump and place on this circle on the bag and pump till all the air is out. Simple!

  • The bags are also microwave safe.

  • The bags are reseable, so you can remove part of the contents and then reseal the bag.

I'd definitely give it a try, it's worth the few bucks.

And, I'd love to hear your opinions on the product if you have already used it or if you try it after reading my review!!
