Just lost a long post because it said the token expired.
I have the tall thin food saver. It looks bud but sits along the back wall and takes up little usable counter space while remaining easily accessible. Permafrost bags are fast easy and convenient. The tolls to make your own bags the most versatile. I wait until I get a 30%off coupon from kohl’s and stock up then. They make sturdy reusable plastic containers that can vacuum seal liquids but the are pricey. I use ziplock freezer containers or bags for that. I love them for things like expensive cheeses. I make the bag a little big to start with. I cut some off to use then reseal the bag. Foods last almost forever That way, like Parmesano Reggiano, Cheddar cheese, etc. I buy a wedge of Parm cheese, cut off a couple inches, an seal the rest. When I need more, I cutoff the sealed end, cut another piece and reseal the same bag. Works great.
