This is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Vacuum sealing foods make it last up to 5 times longer. I like to buy a variety of gluten free alternative baking supplies like quinoa flour, buckwheat flour, soy flour, brown rice flour, etc. It’s not a big deal to throw out a $1 bag of gold metal all purpose flour but I want these pricier alternatives to last. I can easily reseal the bag or I can put them in a decorative canning jar and vacuum seal the lid on. When I buy a $5.00 bag of gluten free pretzels I can reseal the bag so they last forever.

If you like to eat salad but don’t like the wilted leftovers, the canisters are perfect for sealing up the leftovers and keeping them fresh for tomorrow’s lunch. We buy chicken breasts in bulk and split them add marinade and vacuum seal in bags in 4 servings and throw them in the freezer. Since they are split they are thinner and thaw very quickly. Great for last minute dinner ideas.

My husband did a lot of research before selecting which vacuum sealer to buy. We bought the FoodSaver model below about 2 years ago and absolutely love it.
