WevacVacuum Sealer Bag

These are decent vacuum sealer bags, although their plastic feels a little thicker than normal. They have panels for you to note the date and type of food that is in the bag, which is very useful once they're in the freezer. It's best to write on them before filling, so that you don't have an uneven surface to cope with.They sealed well with no issues. The smaller ones are slightly smaller than most vacuum sealer bags, but are large enough for three of four chicken legs so they waste less material. The larger bags can easily take about twice that.

This pack of x200 vacuum sealing bags came packaged in a shrink-wrapped piece of plastic with a label on the front. There are two sizes of bags with the larger size measuring 20cm x 30cm and the smaller size measuring 15cm x 20cm. This offers a good set of sizes which covers the majority of food types and can be used for portions of various sizes. The bags are already sealed on three of the four sides so you only need to seal one of the sides.The food grade material is BPA free and each bag features one textured side, which allows the maximum air extraction, and one transparent side for ease of viewing the item inside. The bags are heavy duty / resistant to punctures and has an easy tear design so you don’t have to use a knife or pair of scissors in order to open up the bags. It also has an area to write on the contents and date sealed for easy identification.The vacuum bags work very well with my vacuum sealing machine and can be used with both wet and dry foods for both storage purposes. So far there hasn’t been any leaks nor freezer burn from these vacuum bags and the bags can withstand high temperatures for a long period of time making them perfect for sous vide cooking.The plastic is fridge, freezer, microwave and can even be washed if you want to reuse the bags! If you aren’t reusing the bags, the plastic is recyclable. There was no obnoxious chemical smell to the bags when sealing and they were very easy to use whilst preserving the food against bacteria, insects and mould and maintaining nutrients / freshness. It means that the food last longer in both the freezer and fridge as well as at room temperature.I will mainly be using these to split up bulk packs of meat ready for freezing and they are perfect for this use – I also love that when defrosting it keeps any juices within the bag. The bags take up less room than plastic containers in my fridge and freezer and the single bags work really well for me. Priced at £22.99 at the time of reviewing, this is a good price for the number of bags and I definitely would recommend them.

I usually only use the largest size my vacuum food sealer will take, cutting bags down and sealing open ends for smaller items. This combo-pack however gives you a bundle of two really useful more commonly used sizes. It does save a lot of faffing about!The bags work well and seem of good quality: Two really nice detail touches of these WeVac bags that I notice are A) none of my other bags have had white-printed panels to mark contents and date of packing as these do, and B) there's a tear-notch in the bottom right corner that enables the sealed bag to be torn open... no scissors required! As with other bags, these have a clear and a textured side; these bags though seem to have a definite curl across the open edge that leads nicely into the vacuum seal... maybe that's just an oddity with the specific packs I have here or my imagination, but these definitely go into the heat sealer with more ease.Suitable for microwave cooking and Sous Vide (not that I have the time or inclination for that, but maybe one day), who would have thought there could be so much to a simple plastic food bag?For the cost I really like these - the labelling panels, the tear-open notches, the downward 'curl' - and I'll almost certainly buy these in preference to my normal ones in future.

I have sous vide machine and also like to free stuff in bulk, so needed some new bags.I've had various ones before and rolls so was interested to see how these compare. First of all the bags are a decent thickness and work perfectly in my vacuum dealing machine. Unlike some, they seal great and are not flimsy like others that have caused me problems. I've tried them in my sous vide machine and they worked great, with no signs of splitting. I've also frozen some freshly roasted coffee beans and they are holding up great. The two sizes are perfect for my needs, so I can vary what I put in them and if only have something small don't need to waste a large bag. Excellent bags for the price.

I’m finding that a lot of items, such as balls of wool, are being despatched in vacuum sealed bags and wanted to see if this would be a way of storing similar items at home, as well as using for food items.Positives: 2 bag sizes included; 100 bags of each size. The bags are good quality and seal well. There is a date section.Negatives: The smaller sized bags aren’t particularly useful unless you only need to store small food items.I think I’d prefer to buy one specific size in the future. The bags are relatively expensive and it’s a bit wasteful to buy sizes that you don’t have much use for.
