Can I use my Foodsaver bags to cook in the Sous Vide Supreme?

Yes. The foodsaver bags are essentially the standard for use with Sous vide.

The Vacuum Zipper bags and containers are designed for refrigerator items, such as deli meats and cheeses, that you access everyday. We do not recommend using them for long-term freezer storage. The FoodSaver heat seal bags are ideal for the freezer.

Hi..I have never cooked the two together mainly because they take different times. I would use two different bags if I were to do it. Good luck

Simple answer is No. The long answer is maybe. The bags are too wide for my foodsaver and if you ruffle the edge to make it fit, the folds won't seal. Also, the smoothness of the bags creates a vacuum barrier that will not allow full evacuation of the bag. We used a straw attached to the hose assembly to vacuum the bag bottom-to-top, withdrawing the straw as needed, and then quickly closed and finished sealed the bag. This method did require pre-sealing all but 1/4" of the bag top, allowing just enough opening for straw insertion. TMI? :)

Yes, and I've done so frequently and successfully. I have a Weston sealer and Anova circulator. As noted by J.Richburg, these bags are described as able to "...be boiled in water...". Sous Vide ("under vacuum") circulating water baths are usually between 131ºF and 185ºF and therefore well under boiling temperatures.

I have not used them with the Foodsavrr, but would expect that they would work. The problem that I ser, is that if there is any liquid in the bag at the time of sealing my could get sucked into the machine.

I read all of the content that was on the box of bags that I received and did not see it say that you could or could not reuse these bags. These are to be used with the sealing machine: Food Saver which uses heat to create a seal - not a zip type bag. You have to cut the bag open to get to your food after it has been steamed...... I suppose you could try it, but your bag will get smaller with each use, and the company probably cannot give you advise on reuse because they don't want to be responsible in case of bacteria left over from the previous use....

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.

I would not recommend reusing the bags. As for the size, from the Sous Vide Supreme Web site: Quantity: 2 rolls per box Each box contains two rolls--enough to make about 40 large pouches (10" x 11"/ 25.4 cm x 28 cm) or nearly 60 smaller pouches (7" x 11"/ 17.8 cm x 28 cm). Dimensions: 28 cm x 5 m (11 inches x 16.4 feet) per roll

Here's a great link with info on the research that has been done and alternatives to vacuum sealed bags. http://nomnompaleo.com/post/12463202060/cooking-sous-vide-plastic-safety

Sous Vide Supreme SVV-00200 Vacuum Sealer. It works ok, but not great. If there is liquid in the pouch, it can be difficult to vacuum and seal. I usually put a piece of paper towel at the top of the pouch if I have liquid in the pouch. If there's no liquid in the pouch it works just fine for home use.

Most of the foodsaver models allow you to seal before it vacuums all the air out. Be sure to get a model with the drip tray. it comes with a good instruction book. Ours is much older and we love it.

I have cooked using sous vide for about 1 1/2 years. I do not reuse the bag. I always use marinade in the bag with whatever protein I am cooking and to get the bag perfectly clean where it would seal again would be too much trouble.

Yes, this will work with Foodsaver bags. You will save a lot of money by using FoodVacBags or VacMaster bags, though. They are much less expensive.

Yes you can. I suggest double seal on both ends. Also I suggest food saver bags, some other brands are just not up there in quality. The price difference is well worth it.

Yes you can just seal s bag, just hit the seal button once you insert the bag. I have never tried using regular bags, but I think they would be too thin and not melt properly, and possibly ruin the vacuum slot. Not recommended by Foodsaver.

We have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and use these bags without issue. With the amount of bag you are forced to sacrifice between the vacuum and the sealer bar, its more like 1.5 cup useful capacity rather than a pint.
