I finally tried out the Talia food saver that I got for Christmas. I
could not believe how easy it was to operate. I picked up an economy
pack of boneless skinless chicken breasts today, made up some bags,
stuck two (half) breasts in each bag, stuck one end in the vacuum
channel, closed the lid, pump started running, the air got sucked out of
the bags, bags got sealed, pushed a button to release the top and pulled
out a vacuum pack with enough chicken for dinner for two. Piece of
cake. I like this machine.
