Default Vaccuum Sealer

Does anybody have one fo those vaccuum sealers I could borrow for a day?

I saved all of my empty cubed mysis and brine packs and am going to make a big batch of food using them, and I wanted to vaccuum seal the packs to avoid freezer burn ect...

Of course in return you would get some deluxe homemade food.

Also, if anyone wants in let me know.


Thanks,

I used Ziploc bags for my fish food. I just put in enough to make a layer about 1/2" thick when the bag is flattened. Zip the bag shut almost all the way, then flatten out on the countertop pushing any air out. Finish sealing the bag and your food should keep just fine.

Same as BMW for me. After it is frozen I double bag it for extra protection from freezer burn. Don't know if it helps but it makes me feel I am doing the best I can.

Done that before also, but still a PITA.

I want to fill the cube trays and vaccuum seal it so I can just pop them out, no mess. I have about 50 empty packs.
