VestaEco Chamber Machine Vacuum Pouches - Certified Commercially Compostable Flat Clear Vacuum Sealer Bags for Food Storage, Sous Vide, Meal Prep & Freezer Organization - 8x12 Inches (50 Bags/Box) - Eco-Friendly Kitchen Essentials

I’ve bought these bags consistently over the last 2 years. I’ve been an avid vacuum sealer for over 12 years. Here’s my opinion. The plant based resins do not function as well as plastic bags. The bags do not stretch as tightly as traditional plastic bags, and I find I need to seal them twice to insure that the vacuum seal is secure. However, the trade off to the environmental impact has generally been worth the extra cost. I’ve simply learned to live with a little smidge of freezer burn as a trade off for feeling better about myself and the waste I generate. They do the job, but are more difficult to work with. Weigh your own opinion with your own experience.I couldn't find enough specifications for a sealer to know for sure if it would work, but Amazon posted that customers usually bought the Geryon sealer with these bags...so I took a chance. It doesn't work. I will use them, but I'll have to push as much air out of them on my own, then just seal. I was really hoping it would work; this company's sealer is really expensive, but I think if you want these bags to work, you will have to buy theirs and not buy a generic brand sealer.To give them some kudos....the bags themselves are nice, lots of place to label and the material they're made of seems durable for something you can compost.All the reviews saying that these bags won't seal / having issues most likely are using a regular vacuum sealer. These bags are for a CHAMBER vacuum sealer. If you don't know what that is, you may not need these bags.I have a Vesta chamber vacuum sealer (which their customer service is wonderful), and use these bags with it every day. They work great, they seal on the first try, even when vacuum sealing soups and sauces. My favorite part is that these bags are compostable, yet they stand up to cooking via sous vide. These are my vacuum bags of choice and I will continue to use and recommend them. Just be sure you are using the right type of vacuum sealer before reviewing.I like the biodegradable aspect, a place to write on contents/date.I purchased for vacuum sealer.I've yet to see how long frozen items will stay to compare with my usual.Haven't tried with Sous Vide yet to see if they hold up, but they look promising!The bag has a smooth surface that works fine for sealing but does not allow the vacuum to pull.Love these bags!!! I use them with my vacuum sealer. Definitely will purchase more when needed.The size is nice. Like that they are precut and all uou do is fillGreat size and seals greatThese bags are great if you have a vacuum chamber sealer.If you have an edge sealer machine, these aren't for you.The plastic material is good and works well for everything I've used them for.They have a lovely seal when finished.There is a notch for tearing open at the pre-sealed end if you want it.Notes can be written clearly on a white shaded part.I thoroughly recommend them for chamber machines (only).La publicidad es engañosa, pensé que iba a recibir bolsas de sellado al vacío con un lado corrugado y resulta que es una simple bolsa lisa que no sirve para mi selladora al vacíoI sacchetti sono lisci da entrambi i lati e quindi non li posso usare con la mia macchina per il vuoto.Nelle foto vengono mostrati sacchetti goffrati.Ne fonctionne pas avec notre machine a videAchat inutile…
