Is this sealer approved for food preparation? Does it have the proper placard?

To my knowledge the heat sealer is not the food safety issue it is the type bag. I use a heat sealer to seal roasted coffee bags. I do not recommend buying from this company as the delivered item did not work and they initially refused a return. I went to ebay with better results from a different manufacture of the same item.

I have a home cookie business, approved by the NYS Dept. of Agriculture. I sell my cookies at local food and craft fairs, and love my packaging. I use this sealer on 9 x 12 cellophane bags and it works beautifully! I love that I can package my own product and it looks great and very professional...I would personally and professionally recommend this item for your use.

I think it does. It comes in a box with instructions, photos, and a manual....and it's easy to use.

I looked at the "Product Description" and that description is not appropriate for this product. The description makes sense for one of their "food storage" products. This item does not have an airtight silicone seal and this "locks in the open position for accident-free pouring" does not even apply to this item. The bullet point information at the top of the post, under the various sizes you can choose, is the best description for this item.

i own this, with a properly placed seal it should be airtight. the seals remove for cleaning. if you do not install them correctly then it will not be air tight. they are pretty easy to install. i am happy for the price i paid. tupperware made nice canisters but they will cost you twice as much and they are not clear.

Hi John, yes, probably. I bought some vacuum rolls by mistake. I used my sous vide bag sealer and it worked fine. I'm guessing that your food saver machine also seals bags by melting the plastic.

There is no seal, it just rests on top. I would not use it to keep food items in, unless it were something like candy that does not go stale.

I have the hand sealer I bought from FoodSaver and I use all the time. I don't know anything about the Waring Facuum Gun

Most of the foodsaver models allow you to seal before it vacuums all the air out. Be sure to get a model with the drip tray. it comes with a good instruction book. Ours is much older and we love it.

it is not a dehydrator --- it seals the air out to preserve your foods in the freezer for a LONG time!

If you mean that it would seal water in, it is not food grade. It's for "incidental contact with food", at least when I bought it. It also no longer said food grade on the packaging when it arrived. I didn't look into whether or not aquarium sealant is considered safe for continuous contact with food or not. I would look into that, or look into food safe molding materials for life casting, for example. If it is meant to be in contact with your skin for a long time, it might also be safe for prolonged contact with food.

Sous Vide Supreme SVV-00200 Vacuum Sealer. It works ok, but not great. If there is liquid in the pouch, it can be difficult to vacuum and seal. I usually put a piece of paper towel at the top of the pouch if I have liquid in the pouch. If there's no liquid in the pouch it works just fine for home use.

Dear J, I use different brands of food saver bags with my unit. As long as the bags are designed for vacuum sealing you should be fine. Enjoy!

Every bag has sealed,has big sealer tape.When I had a foodsaver and sealing something wet and juicy,i would place a paper towel inside the bag at the top before sealing.frozen paper towel hurt's nothing.Good Luck

Yes, it work very well. We have three of them. They are of much better quality than any of the Foodsaver containers we have.

yes, it does seal tightly and keep out odors . on a side note i do try to keep all other freezer foods completely covered so that they don't get smell from them

I am not sure what it is you are asking me,but I ordered this Tila Foodsaver hose for my Weston (Live To Cook,Michael Simon) vacuum sealer.This will attat ch to a port on this sealer to use my Foodsaver containers & jar sealers. I do have a hand held Foodsaver vacuum sealer also. You need nothing extra to seal your foodsaver containers. They have this hole on top & you place your hand held vacuum sealer over that & suction the air out.You have sealed the container. My hand held is electric. Hope this helps.

I allow a little more than an inch of empty bag to seal. Real important to hold in place while sealing so it doesn't slip or seal unevenly. Not sure if Cuisinart offers precut bags.

Food Saver Bags will work properly. I buy whatever is on sale. The different brands all work as good as the others. The Seal-A-Meal however, is the better sealer of the brands I have tried.
