Questions and Answers about Vacuum Bag sealer

Is it safe to use generic vacuum sealer bags with a brand name machine?

Aug 28, 2010 by Stephanie | Posted in Other - Food & Drink

Question: I have an older model FoodSaver machine. The bags are so expensive that I looked into using a generic brand. Are the generic brands the old saying "you get what you pay for" or are they truly just as good and cheaper because they don't care the expensive FoodSaver label?

Answer: Sometimes the generic brands are not quite the same quality, but they are perfectly good and will do the job. If you can find generic bags that fit, then I would use them.

This week has been the biggest food week in the year. All over America, families enjoyed meals together and enjoyed the abundance of our society.

Unfortunately, most of us have little connection to our food and where it comes from. Theres a growing movement in our culture that emphasizes consuming food that is produced within a reasonable distance. The devotees of this practice are called locavores and the common definition is someone eating food produced within 100 miles.

As a child, the members of my family were sort of accidental locavores. Though we didnt consciously try, nearly 90% of our food came from just a few miles of Davidson County. We planted our own garden, slaughtered our own hogs, raised our own beef, had cows early, and later bought milk from my Uncle Jim, eggs from Stanton Craven, and consumed fish we caught, and small game Daddy shot. We didnt have deer in the area, but if we did, wed likely have eaten more venison.
