- What can the HBN Vacuum Sealer seal?
- It seals heat-sealable vacuum bags and rolls. It is not a chamber sealer, so it is not meant for sealing liquids or very wet foods without care.
- Does it work with any brand of vacuum bags?
- It uses standard textured vacuum sealer bags and rolls, so most common brands fit. Smooth-sided bags without channels may not pull a vacuum properly.
- Can it seal liquids or marinades?
- Only with care. Freeze liquids first or use the pulse method, since liquid can be pulled into the machine and spoil the seal.
- Is it good for sous vide?
- Yes for dry and semi-dry foods. For long cooks with wet marinades, pre-freeze the food or use a stronger sealer.
- How should I store it?
- Its compact size and light weight let it sit in a drawer or cabinet. Keep the sealing strip clean and let it cool between batches.
- Where is the HBN Vacuum Sealer Machine Compact Food Sealer cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $29.99, as of our latest check.
