My sealer does not seem to work and ends up disintegrating the sandwich. Does this only work on white bread?

I've found that cutting each slice separately first helps keep nice edges and prevents tearing of the top slice. Alternatively, you can just cut the top slice first, then keep it in the cutter and move the whole slice over the filled bottom slice and punch through. Same idea, as you're just cutting through one slice at a time. This all helps when using the sealer because the bread hasn't been weakened by the cutting. You can also try gently rolling the bread flat first, or pressing just the part to be filled, leaving the edges un-smooshed before using the mold. This helps by making the bread more uniform, so it isn't such a big difference, the fluffy part of the bread versus the smooshed edges.

Any bread sealer (or stamper) works best with soft fresh bread. I've used it with whole wheat as well and it works! But sometimes if my bread is old, (for example, 1 week after I purchased them) the texture of the bread become harder, so then I would warm bread before imprinting on it. I only warm about 8 seconds in the microwave (or 15 seconds on the top of the pan)

Yes, it does. I always heat the bread (2 slices) for about 13 seconds before, so the imprint and seal works better. I hope it helps. Happy bento!

Im sorry but i havent used it on bread yet, only meats and seafood. It does work good on all that stuff.

I wish I could be of help to you Deborah. Honestly I do not know. My suggestion would be if you want to try it to line it with parchment paper so the bread dough does not stick to the pan.

While I haven't tried it myself there is a review http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-FSFRSH0055-FreshSaver-Handheld-Vacuum-Sealing/product-reviews/B002NGNBR8?pageNumber=2 that says no it will not work.

So far i've just used the Food Saver brand of bags. But you should be able to use any bags. I'm not happy with the performance of my Rival vacuum sealer though. It worked great the first few times using it. We haven't used it very often and we are already having problems with it. It's suctioning fine but the sealer does not kick in to seal. We've only had it for around 6 months. We keep the rubber part that does the seal protected so it doesn't dry out or flatten by wrapping it in the original packaging and still it's not working propertly. So, I don't recommend this product.

I add butter on the top of the bread. It does not seal it but it sure taste great!! I would not choose this one again since the top of it gets so hot and i have burned myself a couple times on it. I would look around for others that might work better???

My wife has only used this Vacuum Sealer with Ziploc bags and numerous Mylar bags (chips, etc.). Wish I could be of more assistance.

That was the issue I was having with this order. I have a food saver sealer and had a heck of a time trying to seal them. Finally gave up and enclosed with my food saver bags. I blew it and failed to mention that in my rating... Will try the iron method next time.

I tried it with a sealer a few times, but this product wore off very quickly. I gave it a good try or two.

all I did was spray some non-stick spray all over inside the bottom the first few times. now, I just spray the bottom very lightly, and nothing ever sticks, even on the sides where I haven't sprayed. I just wipe out and use my scraper and/or clean with plain water. I guess my baker is seasoned very well by now ... been using it several times weekly for a little over a month. also, I usually proof my bread in the baker and start baking in a cold to warm oven (warming the lid some).

This will depend on the sealer. If it is a top coat sealer or enhancer it will not work.

I have made pizza dough and bread with great results. I suppose it all depends on the receipe you use. My suggestion would be to visit their website or better yet call and ask them specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I did not try it with my bread machine ! I just followed the box instructions which were easy - it turned out nice every time! After it cooled I sliced the entire loaf with an electric knife and then froze two slices each in sandwich bags for easy removal and thawing! Good Luck! &#128522;

see in the picture to the left that hand held device there is a oval gray attachment that goes on the end of it which you just place on the gray over tab on the top of the deli container.just know when you by these containers sometimes they work and sometimes they dont. I will never buy another of them but that is how you seal them

Mine never worked right. Burned the bread even on light crust. I returned it.

It's too big to really burn off the edges for normal white bread. It still is small enough to seal the edges fairly well, but it doesn't stick out so far to burn off the edges.

You have to do some experimenting. Depends on the type of bread -soft/white , whole wheat, multigrain, etc. Where do you keep your bread? In the fridge, in a basket or breadpan? And then find the right setting.
