Reynolds has had a reputation for decades as one of the top companies in food storage systems. One of the handiest products available from this manufacturer is the Reynolds vacuum sealer, the Handi-Vac. The Handi-Vac helps foods to remain fresh and extends the amount of time you can safely store foods. The best advantage of this is that the vacuum sealer is simple to use as well.



The Handi-Vac vacuum sealer is a product that changes the way people use vacuum sealers. Instead of being required to bring the food to a stationary sealer, the user can simply take the Handi-Vac vacuum sealer and apply it to a Handi-Vac freezer bag. The Handi-Vac is used to create heat in order to seal the bag securely and then remove the air from the bag.

A special air valve exclusive to the Handi-Vac vacuum sealer facilitates the removal of the air that is inside the sealed area of the bag. Because of this, freezer burn will be reduced and the food will not go stale.

The process which the user follows for working using the vacuum sealer is simple. First, the food is placed in the bag. Next, the bag is laid horizontally on a counter and checked to ensure that no contents are over the "fill to here" line on the Handi-Vac bag. Next, the sealer tip is placed flush against the air valve and the "on" button is pushed. When the bag is snug around the food, the device is turned off and the food is inserted directly into the freezer.

One of the handy things about the Handi-Vac vacuum sealer is that it costs far less than other vacuum sealers. The whole package costs about ten dollars at many stores. Also, the Handi-Vac works quicker than bigger sealers. It can take seconds to take care of a typical gallon sized bag.

Bags for the Handi-Vac sealer can also found with ease at places where the Handi-Vac sealer can be purchased. The bags usually cost around $3.29 for a set of fourteen quart bags or nine gallon bags.

It should also be noted that these bags can be resealed if you don't use all the contents at once. However, they should not be refilled with more food on account of the bag is unable to be cleaned. The bags are made with no Teflon or PTFE materials, and no allergens are in Handi-Vac bags. The bags are also approved as kosher.

The Reynolds Handi-Vac vacuum sealer is an excellent food storage method to use in your kitchen. The Handi-Vac vacuum sealer is low-priced and is effortless to use. This sealer can be found at most department stores as well as the replacement bags which are intended to be used with it.
