On a flat surface I pushed the seal closed and aligned the pump over the seal. Press down firmly, and pump! All the air goes out of the bags! With use of the interior bags, the outer Ziploc vacuum bags stay clean and can be used over and over. I have also used cling wrap and press-n-seal to wrap portions of cheese and other things to keep the outer bag clean. What a find! Favorite features? The bags are re-usable, so easy to pump the air out, and best of all the low price! No need to spend hundreds for an electric sealer let alone bags that cannot be used again. My formerly cluttered freezer is organized!
PS: rather than writing on the Ziploc bags, I purchased some inexpensive freezer tape, even though the bags are clear and it is easy to see what's inside. I sometimes confuse the dried tomatoes with the dried red peppers. You will love this!
The pump is a clever little handheld device that you pump manually to suck air out of a hole on the bags. The first problem is that the "one way valve" on the bags must be placed flat on a surface for you to pump from it. This means that the upper right corner of the bag must be empty in order for you to pump air out of it. So a 1 quart bag isn't really one quart, it's about 2-3 cups.
The second problem is that the valves on the bags themselves are flimsy affairs made of a wafer thin piece of plastic and some cheap adhesive. It just doesn't hold a vacuum, period. You suck all the air out of a bag and all looks great. Well go take a look 10 minutes later and the bag is full of air again! The food you preserved in your fridge/freezer is no more protected than it would be from a regular ziploc bag, and if you attempted to cook sous vide with these (like I did) your food is now waterlogged.
I tried using this pump and bag system maybe 15 times, and not once have I found the results satisfactory. It always loses the vacuum and lets air in.
