After the pandemic, I spend more time and money on food. My cost like travel has cancelled. I think I will buy the vacuum sealer after the Chinese New Year since it seems it is a good product to store the food. I think it may be a good consume.

I love my vacuum sealer. I use it all the time. You'll be happy with one. Don't skimp and get one that's cheap. I made that mistake. The one I have now is 20 years old and works great. The next thing I'm going to buy is a new garbage disposal unit and kitchen sink fixtures with a hot water dispenser and a hand held sprayer.

You are right. Actually I have spent time to compare with different brands. Perhaps I will pick Morphy Richards as its price is OK compare to other famous brands. Especially I bought the food dryer from Morphy Richards before and it works well and it is very useful.

@Vikingswest1 Sometimes I will use my food dryer since I can use it to make nice bacon

@youless If one product from Morphy Richards works well, it's likely that other food prep items from them work well too. I am not familiar with the brand. I like apricots best from my dehydrator. I don't use it as much now but at one time, it was constantly running. We would just put new pieces in after removing the dried ones.

Glat to hear that. This kind of product is not very popular here yet, at least I haven't seen one to use it here. Perhaps I will change their mind

Yes, different ways of storing food are always good to have. Last summer, Pretty and I were given lots of vegetables. More than we could eat, so we started dehydrating them and storing the dried foods in plastic bags and putting the plastic bags in plastic buckets we could seal. The veggies will be good for years as long as no moisture gets into them.

I agree with you. I also dehydrated and make some food like dried mushrooms and bacon.

@youless Your time will come. They say it’s safer to fly internationally than domestically, at least here, but I am not ready for that

The product looks like the attached photo. It can use a plastic bag to vacuum seal the food and therefore the food can be stored for a longer time.

@youless Yes, it is. But that's one requirement for her discipline in college. She has been saving from last two years for the same and we need to contribute a huge chunk.
