Vacuum sealing

Re: Vacuum sealing

If you can put 4-6 decent catfish filets in a gallon bag (best I can tell in the pic) I feel like it would take a ton of bags & time. I like the idea but a lot of times I'll put up 4+ gallons at a time, and cook as much as 8 gallons at once. Could you just pile them in and seal?

Yes you can.

I recommend getting the rolls and custom-cutting your bags to the size of the job, instead of getting the pre-cut bags. Doing the math, it was a lot cheaper, plus you get the added benefit of being able to make an oversize bag for "custom" jobs such as oversize fillets, or if you just want to freeze a whole bunch at one time.

I got a Foodsaver brand one for Christmas a few years ago. It's OK, but I'll probably get something with a stronger pump next time for bigger jobs.

Re: Vacuum sealing

Agree on getting the rolls - makes things easier for sure. Cheaper that way as well.
