"Each seal has about a 10% chance of leaking within the first couple of weeks, so any given bag has a 20% chance of leaking if it only has one seal at each end."
"The only other Vacuum Bags I have used and are comparing these to are the Food-Saver Brand Bags. So far I have not been able to find what the. "freezer / boil in bag" Food-Saver thickness is as it seems the thickest of all the Food-Saver Brand bags. But to my feel and experiencing using them, the commercial universal Vacuum Bags I received are slightly thicker than the name brand. Now.....depending on what you are sealing, and if your items have any hard or sharp edges, you may run into problems with any bag. If I am sealing something that has exposed hard or sharp edges, (i.e. ribs with bones exposed) I have always had good luck making a sleeve with a section of vacuum bag and not seal the ends, and then place that into a bag to seal. But If after it vacuum sealed the bag I heat sealed again on the same line, once cooled I could not pull the sections apart. I've read where some have said these bags weren't as good as the name brands. For me, these bags are just as good as the name brands."
"In July I also bought 2 orders of these Universal Vacuum Bags 8" bag rolls (4 rolls in total) and back in June when I bought the GameSaver I initially ordered 2 orders of 11" and 8" bags (4 rolls in total). When I used a brand new GameSaver, and used it properly according to the instructions and then go to the freezer and find one after another bag of vegetables with a visually perfect seal on both ends and air leaking into the bag and my food getting freezer burn on it, then I have to say that the bags are either defective or they are just not a very good product. The GameSaver Deluxe FoodSaver GameSaver Deluxe Vacuum Sealing Kit came with an assortment of FoodSaver brand bags to get me started and probably because FoodSaver wanted it's customers to experience their brand of bags. The clincher in this review is that none of the FoodSaver brand bags in the freezer have lost their seal, only the Universal Vacuum Bags I am reviewing here. FoodSaver brand bags do cost substantially more than these Universal Vacuum Bags, but the FoodSaver bags always work while these Universal bags do not always work."

If I make a cake, cheesecake or pie after we have it for a day or two I slice and freeze the balance on a cookie sheet. By buying the rolls you can make your bags any size you need which makes buying FoodSaver rolls more affordable and you can always count of Amazon to ship promptly."
"These are the GOOD bags."
"Great buy and I love the fact that these food saver bags can be sealed to the size I need."
"These are just what we needed great for packaging our freezer food for long term storage in just the right portions."
"Having the multipack has come in handy, we have been using the same box for a year now and we are no where near running out."
"Shipped and arrived on time and just in time, I had some steaks and chicken breast that needed freezing."
"I love the foodsealer products."
"I love my food saver and the bags work fine..."

Due to their extreme dryness it took several coats of the oil before the boards stopped drinking the oil like sponges."
"The elbow grease. Specifically, I pour a good amount into a small glass bowl and warm in the microwave after I've cleaned the island top. This is usually when I also take the time to wipe down chopping boards, cooking utensils, etc., since my hands are oily anyway. I've found this particular brand excellent at soaking in and then providing a nice protection without sticky residue as well as leaving no oily smell behind. Bottom Line: If you are looking for an oil that provides protection and delivers nice results, this is the product to try!"
"I bought this to treat my only wooden cutting board, and the handles of my good Japanese knives. Soap, hot water, elbow grease - nothing worked on those stubborn labels. Wipe off any residual adhesive with a paper towel, let them have a spin with the next dishwasher load, and they're good as new. Our 1970s era Smith and Wesson revolvers and Colt Python have lovely walnut grips, but that wood is more than 40 years old."
"If you're getting an expensive board I recommend it."
"Great oil for the butcher block!"
"Good stuff, it may need several applications before the coating will actually last."
"Rub it in real good with a bit of extra left on the surface for a few minutes."
"Really made a difference in my cutting boards and butcher block top."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Remember when KitchenAid used to make great mixers (when they were owned by Hobart)? A previous poster mentioned that the machine shakes, I made a big batch of bread (16 cups of flour) and the mixer didn't move a noticeable amount). Its not mentioned in the manual, so I called and found out that its a chute to add ingredients through the protective cage."
"If using the mixer for commercial use or large batch baking its safe to assume 50 average size cookies at once can be made (measured using a cookie scoop). I've tried doing larger batches of cookies and while it doesn't bother the mixer at all it does overflow the bowl. I'm fairly certain the seven quart bowl will fit this mixer and there is a small bowl/whisk set for whipping cream or beating egg whites available for smaller jobs. My artisan mixer would get flour all over but this mixer starts slowly enough to prevent messes. The spiral hook is a vast improvement on the small hook that comes with the artisan mixer (the mixer I upgraded from)."
"Well, time came to get a meat grinder attachment (the stainless SmokehouseChef one) and what a better opportunity to change my mixer? It is almost 17” tall, so it fits perfectly under the cabinet (and it looks fantastic too, orange cord included - tucked away in the back). But we never bought the shield - instead, to mitigate this issue we purchased the KitchenAid KSMC5QBOWL 5qt bowl for about 40 bucks) and that one is perfect for our everyday mixing needs. We switched most of our small appliances and cookware to stainless, and this is one very important reason we chose this KitchenAid unit (the Hamilton aluminum-coated attachments started to chip after just a few uses). The lift-bowl is a bit more inconvenient than the tilt-head model (as my Hamilton was) but the torque on this puppy would have probably torn that hinge apart. To see the true difference in the motor design please refer to the pictures I uploaded - the KSM8990 has direct drive, and the entire motor unit is actually cheaper to replace (about 50 bucks) than replacing all parts that could go wrong in the other 2 models."
"Have had it for 6 months, it stoped working while i was making pizza dough, at first it seemed really tough,silent, but sometimes make a clicking sound."

I must admit though, I can find a ton of other uses for this then what I originally intended: At 24 oz, a great self defense tool against any enemy, not too heavy, but strong enough to provide just right amount of force to hurt someone."
"Lived with a long plastic spoon until I switched to all grain brewing."
"You are going to boil your wort anyways which will kill off anything that could possibly be harboring in a poor weld on your paddle. If you are using it to stir your wort in the boil kettle, which is exactly why I wanted this 48" long monster, to get my hands away from the steam of my 12 gallon (pre-boil volume) in a 1/4-Barrel Keggle, again it doesn't matter, because it is boiling."
"I made a minor modification using a step bit to make rows of 1/2" holes to aid in busting up dough balls."
"My primary problem (which isn't a deal breaker) is that the weld joining the paddle to the handle isn't perfectly smooth on one side (the other side _is_ perfectly smooth)."
"The other day I left it sitting in the water for about an hour and lifted it back out to find that the flat blade of the paddle had begun to RUST!"
"I've brewed more than 5 10-gallon batches since getting this behemoth, and I will absolutely vouch for it."
"But you could sharpen it up for home defense, prepare for the impending Zombie hoards, your next post Apocalypse river rafting trip."
