Sous Vide Bags - 20 pack Reusable Vacuum Sealer Bags for Sous Vide Cooking, 3 Sizes Food Storage Bags with 2 Sealing Clips for Joule and Anova Cookers Freezer

The bags offer a practical and eco-friendly solution for sous vide cooking and food storage. Featuring three versatile sizes, these BPA-free bags are compatible with popular sous vide devices like Anova and Joule cookers. Users appreciate their durability and the secure seal provided by the double-zipper mechanism, which helps maintain food freshness and prevents leaks. The inclusion of two sealing clips enhances their user-friendliness. However, some users have reported that the bags may split slightly after use.  Overall, these reusable bags are a cost-effective alternative to disposable options, aligning with sustainable kitchen practices.

The bags seem fine and the zip lock works. The handpump also pumps properly, but the valve....hummm. I used 3 medium bags in my recent sous vide steak fest. It took about 15 pumps to get the pump to start evacuating the bag, and about 22 to complete the task. Not sure how that valve actually works....it doesn't look like it opens, but after a while the pump did finally suck the air out very successfully. The cooking went fine. I turned the bags inside out to clean them for reuse....seems like they are sturdy enough for that to work fine. So all in all, I like these bags and can recommend them. They are a step up from regular zip-lock bags....sturdier, apparently more food grade, stand up to the heat, and of course the pump & valve to suck the air out.

These bags are sturdy, reusable, and seal well — a great eco-friendly alternative to single-use sous vide bags. I like the variety of sizes, which makes it easy to cook everything from steaks to vegetables. The included clips are a nice touch and keep the bags securely in place during cooking. That said, I highly recommend getting the version that comes with the small pump for vacuum sealing. Without it, it’s a bit tricky to get all the air out by hand. Once you have the pump, though, these bags work perfectly and make sous vide cooking much easier. Great value overall, especially if paired with the right accessories.

I bought this to store food in freezer and it does the work! Also with good price and quality. I tried reusing it to be more sustainable and it has the durability.

I’m absolutely thrilled with these bags! They’re perfect for swiftly vacuum-sealing opened foods like cheese, deli meats, significantly extending their freshness and shelf life. While they do require a small hand-powered vacuum pump from another kit, it only takes seconds to use and maintains the seal for weeks.

This system did not work at all. The vacuum did not suck any of the air out of the bag. Would not recommend.

We had to fill the bag with air and push down to, I think, break open the valve. After that most work decent. The vacuum pump works well, it will be handy for bags when these are gone.

i discovered sous vide cooking a couple years ago from Guga, and Sous Vide Everything, and have incorporated it into more than ½ of my meal plan for our family. Steaks, stews, freezing and reheating, it makes everything simpler, and the vacuum system means there’s no freezer burn, and everything is cooked to a safe temperature of my family. this vacuum pump is the handheld one i like the best, it has a liquid separator attachment that allows the vacuum to work with bags that contain liquid. the other hand held ones that do not come with the liquid separator fail if any liquid is vacuumed. the blue zippered bags with the blue seal are all about the same no matter who they are purchased from. the bags are very strong, the zippers seal really well, but the vacuum seals are what everyone seem to complain about, if they don’t seal, the bag loses vacuum, or worse, allows water in the bag during the sous vide process. there is a simple fix for this, that after years of using these bags, i’ve never had a seal failure, all it takes is a piece of clear tape over the seal after vacuuming the bag. it stays on in the freezer, and stays on when reheating the bag in water later, problem solved! the bags are even washable as long as you haven’t heated them up too much previously, turn them inside out and wash them in dish soap. this set came with several sizes of bags to fit different types of food storage needs. overall a decent value, but a one star ding because they tend to include unnecessary accessories to pad the piece count of the order, i’d rather have more bags.

Some times i have to pinch the circle to get them started

Been using these to store rolls of masking tape (it's an experiment!), and rolls of 3D printer filament. They feel pretty tough, the zippers seem to seal well. I have an electric vac pump, and so far I haven't killed any of the bags even under the pressure of the heavy vac that it can pull. If you have a hand powered one, you're probably even safer!

I LOVE these bags! Great for quickly vacuum-sealing opened foods like cheese, sandwich meat, half an avocado etc, and greatly extends the freshness and aging of said foods! Needs the little hand-powered vacuum pump from another kit, but takes literally seconds to pump and holds the vacuum for weeks

0 would be better! 2 nages worked. They are not compatible with food saver machines. Wish i could have my money back!

I was expecting longer use of these bags on average I use them once maybe twice and after throw them out so I don't think I would recommend them
