One of My newest gadgets is a Mini Handheld Plastic Bag Sealer, a Heat-Sealing Machine for Food Saving Storage. I saw this as an ad sometime ago on Facebook. I looked it up and it sounded too good to really work but hey it was under ten dollars what the heck, I ordered two I figured if it worked as advertised, I would give one to my daughter. If it didn’t work, I threw under $20 out the window. When it arrived I couldn’t wait to use it. Just Place edge of poly, plastic or mylar bag in your sealer and slowly pull the bag through. Squeeze air out of bag before completing the seal to create vacuum effect. Wala It worked just as advertised. Good Bye twistys and bag clips, hello my new best friend for sealing things. It fast easy, no mess and keeps everything fresh.
