Why would this not work like a vacuum marinator?

I think it is too shallow to marinate all but the smallest cuts of meat. That being said, however, play with "vacuum/seal" and "cancel" buttons to ensure liquid is not pulled up through the hose. It should work!

I use my vacuum sealer to seal chopped chicken meat I purchase large amounts and it is great to put them in portion sizes and freeze... been doing this since I purchased the unit and have had no problem whatsoever! Great machine.

I can't really answer your question, but I would tend to doubt that it would work properly, because it produces less vacuum than a full size unit.

Not certain this will work, as the vacuum is created outside the jar and not from within. Another way you can accomplish this goal, is to heat the sauce then close the jar tightly. As the sauce cools, natural vacuum will occur within the jar.

There is a vac hose, and mine came with one marinade canister. I had canisters left over from my other unit that worked with the vac. hose on this machine.

Hi there, in answer to your question the instruction says: The vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. I hope this answers your question.�

This will not do that. It is a light vacuum. You need to be a sealer to do that.

Its hard to say without know what your trying to seal, but it won't pull a complete vacuum if there are gaps where air can get trapped, its not powerful enough for that. It helps to arrange the food so that it is at the bottom of the bag and compacted as much as possible before hand.

Yes, that seems a very likely use of the grater. I have not used it for that specific purpose but I cannot see it not doing just that. It does everything very well

It all depends on what you put in the bag. Dry items like dehydrated foods and such work fantastic. Liquid items are hard to get a good vacuum seal. Wet items work OK but you have to stop almost every time you do one bag to clean the liquid tray, or it won't seal properly. But I have done whole fish and large pieces of meat with no problem.

Hi John, yes, probably. I bought some vacuum rolls by mistake. I used my sous vide bag sealer and it worked fine. I'm guessing that your food saver machine also seals bags by melting the plastic.

This machine is a suction-type vac sealer so requires a bag / roll with a pattern (like VacMaster) or embossment (like Foodsaver). Smooth bags will collapse not letting the air to be sucked out. Altho some ppl will tell you to put a wrinkle or a banding strip down the middle, I find this not worth the time. Stick with the suction bags / rolls and all will be good! (speaking of experience)

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.

That's how it's supposed to work with the sealing bags. However, if your bags are coming open you probably need to adjust the heat setting to your sealing bar. If you've done that already and your bags are still coming open, it could be the sealer itself. I don't know which food sealer you have but I had that problem once with a prior food sealer and nothing corrected the problem. I now have a Lem Maxvac and I'm not experiencing any of the problems that I was having with prior sealers.

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.

I'm having the same problem . Don't know why . Just bought last year. Not happy with product, seems like the hose isn't long enough. Tried with regular vacuum hose and it worked a lot better but not great . Found it easier to just do it the old fashion way.

I tried it on a bag of M&Ms; and it sealed it but didn't vacuum seal it. It made the noise like it was trying to suck the air out but didn't.
