What is the best way to seal these?

A foodsaver vacuum sealer works, you can also use an impulse sealer. I have heard of people using an iron as well but I haven't tried that.

triple fold the bag, then use small clothespins. try the stationary section at wal mart... paperclips will puncture the bag if you have a second of carelessness, You will want to open the bag for mists of water, maybe even daily. reg large clothespins will weigh too much and cause the bag to deflate.

Honestly these bags are a waste of time. To seal them you need a flash sealer, which is very expensive. The filter patches do not protect from infection well. You are much better off going with jars.

Sorry,it's been to long and I can't recall. I would think they should be sealed though.

I specificly bought them because they have a drainage hole and I don't think they would be easy to seal unless you put a liner in it. But then I don't know a lot about sealing.

I seal anything with some liquid that could get sucked up in another bag first. I either use a cheap zip-lock bag & push the air out of it, or a regular food storage bag and do the same push the air out and twist it, then put it in the Waring bags & seal it. This keeps the liquids from being vacuumed into the machine, or at least you can see it seeping out & can stop before they start seeping up to the vacuum. I usually get a pretty good seal before that happens. This makes cleaning your resealable bags easier.

They stay sealed for a long time. I have used these many times and the seal stays with no problem.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use

These are not self sealing. These bags require use of a bag sealer or tape.

If the item you are trying to seal is wet, that moisture will not allow a good seal. Try making sure it is dry. Maybe that helps.

I LOVE them..but have never reused them...maybe you can tho...I use the hand held pump to seal them and it works great.good luck

I think that would be a great idea. You want to store them in a dry place, so I think sealing them up would work well.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

You can definitely use the ziplock-and-squeeze approach. And you'll need to do that if there's a lot of liquid in the bag. I just think that vacuum sealers are cool.

just cut the size you want and seal one end and the fill it and seal the other end. Must seal the small end first.

I'm not sure, as I've never tried it. They do seal well without much effort on your part though.

i use saran wrap or zip lock bags, the saran wrap did better. the shelf life can be fairly short i have found (some of them dried up after 3 months.)

Leave enough room when you first seal it. Then reseal it the way you did in the beginning. Iron or food sealer

You need a vacuum sealer. I think any vacuum sealer would work but this is the one I have. http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/Vacuum_Sealers/SousVide_Supreme_Vacuum_Sealer/Product.aspx?ProductID=18&DeptID;=4&&&gclid;=CKTlha-Gk7sCFUxufgodRiYACQ
