Freezer paper vs Vacuum Sealer

[free]

Have you tried using plain old adhesive tape?

Use it for what?

So, what brand and model would you recommend for an older, retired couple who wants to preserve food as well as possible but, at the same time, we probably don't need a commercial sealer. I like to buy quality so price/quality are not an issue. But, I don't want to over-buy when we don't need the fantastic unit Free posted about a while back that would have required me to remodel my kitchen.

I still recommend that one:

And it is now $40 less than when I bought it too!

You don't need to remodel your kitchen. We keep it in a kitchen drawer when not using it. Works out great!

Write on the adhesive tape and affix it to the bag or vise versa. I used it on plastic containers and it works well. My bags all have a rough white spot to write on so I never tried affixing adhesive tape to the bag.

Oh. Well, I’d still have to write on the tape. Might as well just write on the bag.

I have this fancy label maker, I might as well use it when I can (;

Tested it with popcorn today. Works great!! Just as the popcorn started to crunch, I hit the button to stop vacuuming and start sealing. I suspect the same technique would work on croissants (;

The freezer labels I bought suck. They don’t seem to stick very well.

I’m trying the cloth tape labels that came with my label maker this time.

I just wanted to report back...23 days in the freezer later, I see that my labels are still as good as new. This is definitely a good way to go.
