[Sca-cooks] Boil-in bag meals question

[Stefan li Rous]

Helen Schultz commented:
  <<< Thanks for the input, guys... the FoodSaver was the one that was
$100... I just couldn't remember the name of it until I saw it in
type here.  I'll have to consider my options, then.  It sounds like a
much better option than regular ziplock baggies (which always seem to
let water in <sigh>). >>>

One of the problems I've had when looking at these various seal-a- 
meal units is that even within a particular brand they seem to come  
in multiple price ranges with various additional features as you move  
up in price. Not knowing which features would be worth it, I gave up  
until I had time to do more research in the future. I seem to  
remember that some units let you use larger bags than others, that  
some would vacuum pack hard containers instead of just bags, perhaps  
this partial vacuum that someone mentioned etc.

Any further comments on this?

Thanks,
   Stefan
