Cut a length from the roll the size that you wi8sh to make. Place one of the open ends on the bar that makes makes the seal(do not place the ends in the vacuum tray only on the part that creates the seal). Close down as you would to seal a bag. Check to make sure you have a proper seal. Place food in bag and seal as you would for a vacuum seal. Easy peasy!

Simply cut bag to desired length, place one end partially in(over the heating strip but not in the vacuum chamber) press and hold until hands free illuminates, then release when light goes out. That seals one end and the other is done once item is in bag, insert that end all the way into vacuum chamber, press and hold, wait for hands free, then once light extinguishes release. Hope that helps

Cut the size bag you want, then seal one side. This will give you three sealed sides. Load your bag and seal as you would an ordinary bag.

Seal one end. (The roll must stay tightly rolled or the machine will suck out the air from as much material as has been unrolled) Cut to size. Fill and seal.

The rolls come in tubular form. Simply seal one end. Cut to desired length, insert food and seal the other end. They are much more economical than purchasing bags. I love them.

hi; first you cut the size you need from the roll. then you seal one side and now you have a bag, sealed already at three sides. load the bag and seal the remaining/open side and .. ready you are!

Pull the roll over the heat strip until it is as wide as you need it to be. Close the lid & press down on the both sides off the lid & hold it down until the green light comes on. You now have a bag. Carefully peel it off of the heat strip. Fill it with food, leaving about 1 & 1/2 inches. Insert the open end of the bag back into the Deni with the layers separated by the vacuum device. Close the lid and press the left side down & hold until you have suctioned as much of the air out as possible. Keep holding the left side of the lid down & also press & hold the right side of the lid down until the green light comes on. Carefully peel the bag from the heat strip. You should now have a sealed bag of your selected food. Note: sometimes the bag will pull away from the device because of the weight of the food. In this instance I put a book or something of the desired thickness on the table in front of the Deni & lay the bag with the food on it and proceed with the above sealing procedure.

I do not see any reason the bags could not be used. I have the Food Saver Model V2470 and my 11X50' Roll works just fine.

Gently twist it into a figure 8 while applying pressure from the bottom and the top. Have the bag ready to slide it in once it's flat and slide it into the bag at least half-way before it pops up again. I hope this is helpful. It's a challenge, then it's easy.

Scissors, utility knife, single-edge razor blade--all will work. I, however, am lazy; I've raised it to an art form. I use a 12" paper cutter I got from Office Max. Put the roll to the right, feed the material under the cutter head, and you can use the marks on the board to measure (if that works for you.) The bags should be cut so that, when loaded, the open end lays flat with no puckering. My method is useful if you have a lot of meat/produce to seal up. Just measure and cut off a couple of dozen bags at once, and seal one end. Then load with the food and seal.

there are actually heat and seal rolls you can get- those are like, a thousand times better. you can make it whatever size, and then no need to vent, you can pop them in the microwave without slitting them. I really didn't like these bags because they sometimes didn't seal well and I couldn't always tailor them to the size I needed.

I bought Poly-Fil at Michaels craft store, small plastic beads. It took almost all of 2 32 oz. bags. Lucky it was not expensive.

separately... if you separate the bags and zip them up, fold them lengthwise, then start rolling from the head end. Rolling slowly to allow air to escape is key to having a compact roll. when you reach the end with elastic straps, you wrap on strap around each side of the roll.

Fold the sleeping bag in half lengthwise, then fold the open end (where you head sticks out) about half way towards the foot end. Roll the bag up towards the foot end, where the ties are. This bag has a string and hook to keep it rolled. A pretty comprehensive instruction sheet came with the bag. Hope that helps.

I twist them once or twice around the bag and then wrap it around the arrow. I haven't really figured how else to use them.

You can use regular plastic grocery bags if you like. I only used grocery bags. Made it easier to clean up everything.

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

any of the rolls or bags will work. I use 11inch roll, 8 inch roll and the quart bags

I had a plastic bucket from wheat I bought from another company. I put them in that. You could probably use a large tupperware container or flour canister.

I don't know the answer to that one. I only bought the item. I wouldn't use anything besides the Food Saver bags and the bags are available in a lot of places. I bought the roll at Sears where you can cut the bags to the right size according to the food you are putting in. You seal one side, put the food in and then vacuum and seal the other side. I saw the bags also at Walmart. The Food Saver bags have a different texture than Ziploc bags and I think the Ziploc bags probably wouldn't vacuum seal.
