Can the bags be reused? And how many times can they be reused?

I would not purchase again because they are pricey and do not seem to work well with liquid. I tried to fill a bag with some homemade soup and it tore whilst I was suctioning, moreover, I never managed to get all the air out of the second bag. The one I used for some cookies worked well, but I have not reused them so could not say. Hope this helps!

My personal experience has been that I have never reused the bags. Once you remove the frozen food, the bag doesn't return to its original size or shape. It also doesn't quite feel the same either. jmo

Yes, they may be reused. I have reused one of these Vac Bags as many as five times. but common sense must be used also. If a bag was use to store meat, discard it. Washing a bag to me is not worth the effort, so if it's dirty I discard it. They can be used to freeze liquids but let it cool first then bag it don't vacuum but zip it closed as you press all but the last small amount of air from the bag, that little bit of air will not cause any problem

You can use them many times until they wear out. I have had no issue with multiple uses.

No you can't, they have a special place to seal. They are extremely durable & I put things in a cheap baggie and then in the heavy duty re-seal bags from Waring, sounds counter-intuitive, but they wash out easier. I have yet to order additional bags. They wash out very well and last.

They are reuseable! You can heat them up or freeze them as many times as you need to. I have a set that I freeze and a set I warm up.

Yes, you could re-use them the same as you would for regular zip-loc bags. But keep in mind, as in my previous review as well as others, these bags do not seal well. I am constantly having to go back and pump air out of them. They are a made from a different material also that causes a lot of static and causes dry foods, spices extra to get caught up into the zip seal.

I guess they could be reused, depending on what was stored in them, you could cut them open and reseal them. I use them mainly to freeze meat. Therefore, you would not want to reuse them. I don't think I would reuse them at all because of bacteria from foods. Also they are great quality bags.

I use these bags 5 or 6 times before recycling them. It's a little more difficult to seal the bag after the first use, but it will reseal. I've only steamed veggies and potatoes in them. I wash them in hot water and some dish soap after each use. I am going to try steaming some cod, salmon or albacore as well. I don't see why they can't be reused after steaming fish or seafood. Just rinse and wash out right after you take the food out of the bag.

Yes they can be reused. Not sure how many times you are looking to reuse these but should get no less than 10 and likely way more than that. Like everything they do eventually wear out.

You can reuse but I prefer a fresh pair each night. When you wash them they tend to get squishy and are less effective

No. The bags are biodegradable (compostable) so they cannot be re-used. Mine last about a week if I'm careful not to put too much wet stuff in the bin. Longer than that and the bags start to degrade and leak. Shelf life, however, seems to be quite good. They begin to break down only after being in contact with organics.

The bags are reusable. They give you bags to start out with. One bag is for leaves and larger things and one for much smaller items like sand. It's not a bad idea to buy a couple more just for getting your pool up and running at first. Use the mesh bags first then the fine bags to finish it off.

I have never tried to reuse. My guess would be yes, provided it is free of muslin or cotton threads.

These bags are washable and reusable but for how many times depends on how they are used. Rough use for our bags means some pretty hard twisting to squeeze juice out of pulp. An old fashioned thorough hand-wash and rinse puts them right for re use.

I haven't reused mine at this point. In my opinion, I believe that once emptied, I could clean them and reuse.

I've never tried. Actually, the bags are very sturdy and I never thought about replacing them. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The short answer is - no. I concur with the others that have answered that the bags are too thin and they are probably not of the correct diameter. If you are reasonably careful when you remove and replace the suggested Jet bags, you should get many uses from a single bag - I typically get at least ten uses before I need to replace one - and that is because I was not careful and tore the bag.

I use simplehuman bags for both sections and reuse them often . I empty bags at the recycling center and take them back because they fit so well. Just wash the bottles and dry them before putting them in a recycling bin. 2 packs of each size can last forever and it is not that much more expensive than generic store bag that would not fit that well.
