FoodSaver V3240 Vacuum Sealing System with Starter Kit

Saves you money and helps eliminate food waste

The FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System keeps food fresh up to 5x longer than ordinary storage methods and prevents freezer burn, allowing you to save based on buying in bulk, on sale, and preventing waste. This system removes air and moisture from specially designed, multi-layer bags while sealing in flavor so that your food tastes as if it was bought yesterday even after being in the freezer for months. Use it to freeze pre-made dinners that you can reheat during the week, to keep leftovers in the fridge, to deep-freeze cuts of meat, and much more.

Speed & Food Type Settings

Adjusts vacuum speed based on food type. Moist/Dry Food Settings adjusts seal level based on dry or moist food.

Convenient Roll Storage

The FoodSaver roll conveniently stores inside the machine, decreasing clutter.

Sealing Strip

The extra-wide sealing strip applies heat for a secure, airtight seal that locks in the freshness and flavor of food.

How to Use Your FoodSaver System for Sous Vide Cooking

Effectively Prepares Food

Sous vide allows you to precisely control your cooking temperature to achieve perfect results. You can cook sous vide in FoodSaver bags by placing them in water at any temperature up to 195°F/90°C.

Keeps Ingredients Secure

By using your FoodSaver vacuum sealing system, water can't permeate through the bag and mess with your ingredients, so your food stays secure during its water bath.

Prevents Contents From Floating

FoodSaver bags and vacuum sealers are ideal for sous vide cooking because they remove all the air around the food, effectively ensuring that the bags will float less than ordinary zipper bags.

Works well to freeze meats
I purchased this FoodSaver model because it received positive reviews both on Amazon and other sites, and I'm pleased with its ease of use and features.I used the entire 11" wide roll that comes with the unit to seal meat and bread going into the freezer. I followed the instructions and froze fresh meat for 1-2 hours before sealing... that worked really well. It's been one week and everything still has an airtight seal.The storage area at the top of the unit keeps the roll handy. I especially like the bag cutter slide. It cuts nice and straight.I'm new to vacuum sealing so here are some basics I learned: the rolls are flat 2-ply plastic tubes. You unroll enough plastic to cover the food plus 3 inches. The Seal feature heat seals one end of the plastic tube creating a bag. Put food into the bag, insert the open end of the bag into the unit, lower the lever and press Vacuum Seal. The vacuum function is noisy but effective! After suctioning air out, the unit automatically heat seals the top of the bag. You can hear the air pressure release before the panel lights go out, indicating that vacuum sealing is complete. There's also a button to cancel the process if needed. The unit defaults to regular suction/dry goods. You can also select gentle suction and/or moist goods beforehand. I used the gentle suction on pre-frozen hamburger buns but it was still crushing the bun.The unit is small enough to be portable but it's more handy to have it on the counter. I like that it doesn't take up much counter space. The suction cups on the bottom hold it in place while pressing buttons and inserting bags into the unit.
