Presumably Briscoes sell the same bags but question for those who know - who else stocks the Sunbeam bags?
Thanks in advance

28, and I usually cut them down short anyhow to avoid excess plastic and aim to make portions that fit in my jetboil easily

Awesome stuff !!! Got me thinking about vac packing a couple of Aunt bettys golden syrup puddings for a hillside dessert

Made a meal of Nachos. Vacpacked a dozen cornchips witj some cheese seperately so they dont get soggy but wilp be heated with the meal and have melted cheese all over them. Then placed the pre packed cornchips and a meal sized portion of nacho mince and a blob of sweet chilli sauce all in another bag and vacpacked it together. Try to choose some flatter chips so they dont get crushed to bits when vac packed.

I have done something similar called an omelet in a bag, just chuck all ingredients in a snap lock back and then boil the whole bag, could try vac-packing that?

If you're not boiling to reheat and just using it for freezing stuff which are better....rolls or pre cut bags?

Sweet, cheers Ryan

Went and got one today, let the fun begin

Bloody hell I might try this

If you buy from Noel Lemmings you can use your Farmlands card, saved me $20 on the bags. I used to have a cheap vac packer but recently upgraded to a new sunbeam one. Very happy.

I vacuum pack a heap of lunches for my clients, some salami or similar, some cheese, raisins, a few cookies, muesli bar, choc bar etc etc. I buy the bulk boxes of bits and pieces at the supermarket, anything that might get squishy I put in a zip lock bag first. Then I throw all the bits on the bench and make up piles of lunch size food, then vacuum pack them. No 2 are the same, you can see whats in them from the out side, and the clients get to pick and choose.

And if Im fly camping I make up evening meal packs, everything needed for me and clients for an evening meal, including tea, coffee etc. Vacuum pack that all up and label it. And clients are told that if Im not back in time for dinner, then everything needed for dinner is in that pack and to start without me.

Spag Bol mince sauce

Super cheap auto sell the replacement rolls at a good price
