Nope, not at all LLinLP.
I ordered a Foodsaver after the first few convincing responses anyway.
Gracias for the opinions everyone.

Zip-Loc makes one, too, that doesn't run on a battery. Works pretty good for meats, tamales, etc.

When using the foodsaver, I will usually place a single paper towel just above the fish, between fish and seal. This will absorb any juice/oil from
the fish when evacuating the air, creating a much better seal and preventing freezer burn. Bon apetite!

A Foodsaver is a MUST in Baja! If you want to use it on bread, freeze the bread first, otherwise it will just get squished. The cannisters are great
for cereal, crackers, etc.

I actually have one of the original Foodsavers, one that was used in one of the original tv informmercial. It still works great. I have more recently
gone to the Reynolds one as it is simpler and easier to use. Glad is said to be coming out with it's own version of the hand held one.
If vacuum packing things with sharp points you need to cut a piece of plastic wrap material and put it on the point before vacuuming.
I have used it on fish for years and there is nothing better. Vacuum as soon as you can and always thaw in ice water....slowly and it will come out
like fresh.

This forum, and you Baja Nomads are unbelievable! For the last 2 days I've been thinking, and even dreaming (how sad) about a foodsaver unit and
wondering which to buy. Now, here, where I would least expect it, comes my answer.
How fun to find the answer here! Ya'll rock!
Thanks so much!
Happy New Year!

Hey, why aren't all youse guys out fishing, or reading under a tree? My very own counterpart...mulegemichael...has been on here touting the
HandiVac...ok, ok...it's true. I found it at Walmart and have bought six of them. I give them to everyone. I have my own infomercial (sp?) every time
anyone unwittingly shows up. They are amazing, simple, cheap, portable. Just dry off whatever it is before you use the vac. Jeez, we even brought a
couple down for some pals in Mulege and gave a demo on Junga's! This little item is the bomb. No freezer burn if you dry off stuff first, and I tried
this comparison with other styles. OK. Now I am going to have some fish tacos at Mely's, a couple of cervezas and read my new Kindle. There is
another cool topic. Who has one besides mulegemichael (actually he is hogging it) and lil ol me? Load thousands of books on it, it is the size of a
paperback, lighter in weight, amazing. No more lustful thoughts about other peeps books, staring at all the icky romance novels donated at the
community center, making "nice" with people just because they might have a couple of books to loan you,. Get a KINDLE!
