These seem overpriced. Would any muslin cotton bag work for produce? Do they seal? What about cheese? Think I'll just leave that alone in plastic.

First of all, they do not seal. They are closed by a draw string. They may a little overpriced, but they served their purpose for drying food outdoors. I used them to dry pumpkins outside in the sun. They were great for this purpose.

Eating cheese contributes to global warming - sorry. You might want to stop eating animals, you're contributing to greenhouse gas production in a big way.

I use mine for home made bread. Good quality, wash well - they shrink in the first wash, but stay the same thereafter; this is included in the product detail in the fine print. Its the organic bit that's probably the justification for a slightly higher price point. Personally, I put cheese in plastic too. They do not seal. The muslin are great for say potatoes, carrots and other root veg. Greens in my opinion keep longer in the fridge in plastic. You can google the best storage methods for the particular produce you want to store.

I really love these bags and they come to $3 a bag. I am reading more about pesticides in cotton so wanted organic cotton for my organic fruits and veggies since I am investing a little more with my health in buying organic produce. They have a drawstring. If you buy these be sure to purchase only from Simple Ecoloogy. I also bought their organic grocery bags to put these organic produce bags in right from www.simpleecology.com.

I have yet to get these bags in the mail, but if you are using them for the same thing I am using them for this should work. Vegetable oil will capture the remaining resins and oils, while the oil is still on the screen, wash it with dish soap. The thought behind it is, resin is in the vege oil, vege oil gets captured by the dish soap, dish soap washes away clean. I offer this because that is how I get the oils and resins out of my cheesecloth after making butter for baking, works everytime.

Yes. I bought StaVac Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer Bags on Amazon. They have worked very well for me. They are quart size and are sealed on one end, so you save time sealing. They sell 100 bags for $22.95 which is a fantastic price because the Food Saver rolls are very expensive and have to be cut and sealed on both ends.

Yes and they are great. You can find a decent price on Amazon. Be careful about other companies. I ordered some from a vender, who apparently ran out of the item and sent me very thin bags that tore on touch. I returned them, received a credit and reordered through Amazon. Very happy with them.

I would use the Foodsaver bags myself. They are pretty heavy duty and are built for the machine. I would imagine other types of plastic bags would work, they would have to be thicker though.

I have used various different types of Vacuum sealer bags and for the most part they work but I have found that the off brand sealer bags when you get towards the ends of the rolls they are very wrinkled and don't seal as well. I have wasted many a bag because of that. The individual bags work ok but I have found the Food Saver brands are the best.

It is best to purchase the bags. The effect may not be the same with bags that are not compatible with the food saver.

I bought the clear plastic envelop bag A7 7 1/6x5 1/4 from Wholesale Craft Outlet and they worked perfectly for me. They reseal on the shorter end and came quickly and were of good quality. Hope this helps you a bit.

They are poorly made, two of the three bags tore open in the first week. Save yourself the headache and look somewhere else. Best of luck!

In the stores these are $4 - $5 dollar a bag; this brand is anyway, never tried this product. I wondered why the different price for same products? Is it because of different suppliers? Is this soy?

Not sure what the seal a meal is. You can make the bags any length you would like them but the width remains the same. I only ordered the wider rolls since we never used the smaller rolls much. I suppose you could change the width of the bags by cutting and sealing them to fit your needs. I would check with the seller to be certain. I can tell you the bags are the cheapest I found, arrive very quickly w/o paying for fast delivery and I am completely satisfied with the purchase. Will DEFINITELY order from them again.

Hi, That's exactly what I used them for and they work as good as the original. The price is way better than Food Saver bags. You won't regret you buy!!

I have used these bags for all sorts of things, including kale and leafy greens. My experience is that things like kale and leafy greens don't do as well, as they need something something more airtight to stay fresh. They can begin to wilt after a day or so. Things like apples, citrus, potatoes, onions, etc are great in these bags.

I think they're a little too thick for that what you're looking for is something with a tight weave and the thickness of a pillowcase,or you can use a nut milk bag it has a finer weave then cheesecloth Amazon sells those also.

The plastic coated sandwich size bags should hold your mini egg rolls okay without any of the moisture or oil leaking through the sides. My concern, however, would be keeping them in the bag since there is no way to close these bags. If simply folding the tops over is sufficient then these bags should work fine.

They have same brand of bags, and the ones we purchased were worthless. We never understood how to use them. Other brands did not work. We returned the sealer and tossed the 6 rolls of "bags", which were basically a piece of plastic doubled over.

I agree with the seller. Not a good option for rice but the organic muslin bags would be perfect! We have those as well and they have been wonderful for chia seeds, orzo, anything small. We have been very happy with both types of bags!!
