SousVideTools | Vacuum Sealer Bags | 15cm x 25cm Boilable Pouches | Pack of 200

I bought a 200 pack of these pouches. I was aware that they were only suitable for a chamber vacuum machine, which I have. In fact I have the Andrew James domestic machine which works with embossed pouches only and the Sous Vide brand chamber machine. The pouches only extract air using the chamber machine as reported by other users. On their website, it does state for chamber machines only so I don’t know why it does not state that on Amazon. This firm is a great one to deal with. I have bought several quality items from them so not sure why they don’t clarify this.

These bags are great quality but you need to understand that they will only work with vacuum chambers and not the cheap vacuum packers that suck the air out of the bags. A chamber sucks the air out of the whole chamber and not just the bag. If you try and use these with the cheaper vacuum sealers they will not be able to suck the air out of the bag due to the bags being smooth. These bags are far cheaper than the bags you have to use with the cheap sealers because they don’t have to have a raised surface on the bags to let the air out. BE WARNED THEY ONLY WORK WITH VACUUM CHAMBERS.

This is useless to me as does not work as other people have pointed out with domestic Vacuum Sealer Despite what it says in the Advert. DO NOT BUY

As expected, works ok.

These bags ooze quality. The look to be perfect for professional use. But for me that was the problem as they don’t work with the lower end (sub £40) vacuum suction sealers. It looks like the bags unless stuffed, seal themselves by the two sides coming together and forming a seal that the vacuum sealers can’t suck the air out. I’d love to know which device that should work with and give it a go.

Important to note that these will not work with the small kitchen vacuum sealers.Embossed will.I threw these out as it was not worth sending them back to the UK. Gd brexit

These are quality bags but note that they are flat and so will not work in typical domestic vacuum sealers (the ones where you put the end of the bag in). Without embossing, the sealer cannot suck the air out. (It really should say this in the description, as it does on the Sous Vide Tools site.)These are designed for chamber sealers where you put the whole bag inside - and for this they are great quality and good value.

This product doesnt work with the cheaper vacuum sealers. Turns out most sealers need an embossed pattern on the bag in order to be able to suck their air out. These bags ended up being pretty useless for me.
