Can the marinator be used with the fresh saver ?

Yes, the marinator is designed to ne used and is very effective. I have used it several times with great success.

I believe it can, as I think vacuum system can be used. You just have to be able to connect the vacuum system with the unit and so, must have the appropriate connector. So, if you can use the same connector hose it will work fine.

I don't know, but this I do Know: The marinator is poorly designed. After about 2 years of use (just after the warranty expires) the bottom part develops stress cracks and allows air to enter. I've gone through 2 of them so far.

Yes, it attaches with the hose just like the storage containers. The application and release of the suction is what causes the marinade to be absorbed more quickly.

You can marinate in FoodSaver Bags or Canisters; however, the zipper bags do have a vacuum port which may make it difficult for marinating with a lot of liquid. For marinating chicken, we recommend using the FoodSaver Quick 2.25 quart Marinator, BPA-free

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....

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.

I have not used food saver attachments with my LEM port - so sorry that I am unable to answer this for you.

I did not see a "use by" date on any of mine. I can say I'm confident that as long as I store it dry it should be practically indefinite. I have sealed my spares in food saver vacuum sealed bags and will use them with confidence any time in the future when opened. A used filter MUST be completely dry before storage so the two I use I do not expect to last any longer than my other filters (i.e. pump or gravity fed). A food saver vacuum sealer is really a small investment for long term storage requirements.

I have never tried doing this. I am not sure, but I see others have already addressed your question. I'm sure it could be done if you transfer the contents into one of the FoodSaver type bags and omit the vacuum step like someone else mentioned.

Yes! I have used it for about one year. I use this exact system with the necessary jar adapter (which you do have to buy separately) such as here: FoodSaver Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer This vacuum sealer + the jar adapter + wide mouth mason jars. I can make salads on Sunday and have crispy salads for 4-5 days by sealing them this way. Saves money (I'd never use a whole head of lettuce otherwise), saves the environment (glass mason jars will last forever, just sometimes buy new lids). Enjoy. This is a great system for leftovers or planned-ahead meals. Yes! I have used it for about one year.

I think you would have to buy the Foodsaver tube attachment & still am not sure it would work. This is a great sealer, but works best with the bags that it is made seal since it has the "port" to seal it.

My understanding is the bags are not for freezer use, so the answer is no. To do that you'd need to purchase their bigger food saver sealing machine.

Yes you can, I make mine out of a marinate. I don't like the dry rubs as well

Yes you can use it for marinade also. Ours just recently stopped vacuuming and it is only about 1 1/2 years old and only used periodically.

I don't know why they wouldn't, especially being a Weston product. I used the with an older FoodSaver model and the worked great!

Yes, and you will find that the can is large enough that it is only about half full for easily mixing the two parts. You will have to apply the sealer immediately after mixing in the time in the directions. Any leftovers will set up.

I have not tried but I understand that it will NOT. I bought this unit a little more than a year ago and I use it everyday. It has more than paid for itself and my freezer in that time. We simply don't throw food away. Vac seal and freeze become grab and go. The chamber units allow you to save liquids, seal jars and all kinds of things. I bought a bag of potato chips, sealed them in a jar and opened it 8 months later--they were great. It won't replace canning but it does save money immediately. Hope that helps. One final thought is that vacumaster does make other units which do seal mylar bags. I've sealed mine with an iron, straw and oxygen obsorbers. I have not tried but I understand that it will NOT.

This FreshSaver is only compatible with vacuum zipper bags and deli containers which are for fridge and pantry use only. It is not compatible with freezer bags.

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.
