pirogue Report post Posted September 24, 2022 I also have a Cabela’s, and was always satisfied, until recently, when I went to Food Saver brand bags. They appear to seal tightly at first, but then allow a little air in after a couple months. I don’t know why one side of the Food Saver bag has that grid texture, which plainly is harder to seal, than a smooth surface side. Could be my Cabela’s is just getting old and needs replaced. Several people seem to like their Wesson or Weston brand sealer. (Not sure of spelling) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozen meat blocks tend to end up with tiny holes in the bags after a while of shuffling around in the freezer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted September 25, 2022 I like the pre made bags, one less seal to go bad. it helps if it’s dry or close to dry to make a good seal also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
