I have one. I had not used it for a while and the last time I needed it
I had trouble with it because I had forgotten the process. I keep
meaning to give it a test drive. I was going to do that before my next
run to Costco. Having bought the new fridge and then cleaning out the
chest freezer I realized I don't need to go there for a while. I need to
use up what we already have. There is already a bag and half of salmon
fillets, a bag of sole fillets, 2 1/2 bags of shrimp, three packages of
chicken breasts, a bag of frozen mangoes, avocados, peas, a pack of all
beef wieners plus several bags of rhubarb and three bags each with two
portions of pulled pork leftover from Superbowl.

Maybe tomorrow I will get the Foodsaver out and practice with it.
