A tip to help sealing bags containing liquids is to add a strip of folded [[paper towel]] along the unsealed edge of the bag before the point at which the seal would be created. The pipe that creates the vacuum is much higher than the base of the vacuum chamber so an awful lot of liquid would need to be leeched from the bag before it was drawn into the vacuum mechanism. | A tip to help sealing bags containing liquids is to add a strip of folded [[paper towel]] along the unsealed edge of the bag before the point at which the seal would be created.

As someone that does a good deal of camping, it occurs to me that this vacuum sealer would be a great way to pack and transport food for camping trips. Especially because the heavy duty nature of the bags would allow safe transport of foods without spillage. It would also be possible to boil certain foods within the sealed bags cutting down on the washing-up - something no one enjoys when camping! | As someone that does a good deal of camping, it occurs to me that this vacuum sealer would be a great way to pack and transport food for camping trips.

===Solving problems=== | |||
* '''Problem''': If the bag has been made too small for the food within creases are often formed along the sealing edge, preventing a proper seal which does not allow a proper vacuum to be formed so the unit times-out before the heat sealing takes place. | |||
* ''Solution'': Press down hard on both sides of the lid. This normally flattens out the creases, allowing a good vacuum to be created. | |||
* '''Problem''': Liquid is drawn into the sealing chamber, making a mess and preventing the plastic bag from melting and creating a good seal. | |||
* ''Solution'': Freeze the food on a tray or in paper coffee cups prior to vacuum sealing. If you have the cannisters, then use those for foods with a high liquid content. | |||
