Having a problem with the bags. Anyone else? Aren't the bags suppose to stay together near the bottom to keep the meat up and channel away the juices?

Yes, you're absolutely right. The little "dots" are supposed to stay together as that is what holds the item away from the juice/grease. I just recently started using my grill (bought it back last Dec. online) & have cooked probably 5-7 items on it. I've had no problem with the food dropping to the bottom of the bag & when I take it out,, it appears all the little dots are still connected. I did tons of research before my purchase & IMO it sounds as though you might have some inferior bags.

I used it tonight, seam side down, cooking large filets of blackfish. I added minimal liquid, just a few TBS. of EVOO and lemon juice, sat the fish on a bed of some cut up tomatoes, they exude liquid too. The seam must be the problem, I didn't expect any liquid to leave the bag. Next time, I would use it SEAM SIDE UP....I would suggest the same for you.

The bottom of this composter is open, as they are supposed to be. I believe the larger ones may have some grate at the bottom. Hope this helps.

Ive never had that problem. Im sorry. Maybe it is something to do with your environment? Or maybe yours isnt sealing correctly

Once assembled the racks remain in place...however the food grills fall out of the grill racks!

i haven't used my bags yet. next month i will try to fill them. if you go to you tube and find john kohler growing your greens it shows him filling one. he mixes his soil with other items so your soil will not be so heavy and it can drain better. let me know how it works. good luck

Try to make sure that the bag is not anywhere by the sensor and make sure that nothing is blocking the lid from coming down all the way otherwise it would close and open back and stay open sometimes. If that does not help try to turn off the power and manually push the lid down it seemed to help.

Yes, I had the same problem. Take some scissors and trim the ends to make it easier for the food to come out. Just be careful not to trim too much because then it will come out too quickly and easily.

That happens because air comes in contact with it. The trays aren't airtight. Ziploc freezer bags are. :-) suck the air out of the bag, too, if you want.

Hook it on the same hooks you put the outside ones on in the middle (if that makes sense), and really tighten the drawstring. Also, make sure the bottom net is in place so clothes don't drag down the bags. Hope this helps!

I think they must all be like that because mine is too. Its like its a little crooked or something. I still use it all the time and it makes great bread so I never returned it. I've had it a couple years now. The lid doesn't seem to effect the cooking, its more or less just one of those annoying things you get use to.

Haven't had any trouble with that. Love the units, as a matter of fact. Bags I felt were a bit flimsy so bought a second set of real good ones. Would hate to be out camping and have one of the bags rip so a spare set is always a good idea anyway. We use the bags that came with the set as a backup.

Thanks for your comments I've had similar problems like with your mother, I'm sending back 4 bags that leak really bad hopefully this was just a bad batch I really want to like the product and when the bags do seal properly it an incredible little system I actually bought it to compliment my more expensive Food Saver Say could you post again and let me know how your mothers new bags work out. Thanks!

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

Yes,yes. I see what you mean. I went to ck- my bag & when I went to close it back up there's a gap on each side. What happen, The bag drop down when I opened the door. I just re-set the bag up we're it belongs. Hope this will help you. Take care.

I tried the food saver bags today and was very disappointed with their inability to get all of the air out of the bag.. Is it because I have a Cabela's vacuum sealer and not a food saver? The Cabela's bags are smooth on both sides where yours are dimpled on side and smooth the opposite side..

Mine seems to leak at the seam if I put too much in at once. Also, I do run the pulp through again once or twice. The veggies/fruits are too expensive not to try to get more juice out of it.
