can you use these bags with the seal-a-meal unit?

You certainly can. I have a Seal-a-Meal myself - no problems. I think they're just as good and durable as the brand names . . . unless you're one of those people who prefer to pay the big bucks for mfg. brands.

possibly, we found them to be inferior with a foodsaver and would not purchase again

Kat, you would have to try- I can't imagine why not, because the bags can only heat so high, regardless of which machine used. this machine will take either the rolls or the individual bags. If you have any friend with a foodsaver, all the bags should work between them - take your bags over to the friend's house and check.

No. From what i can see on the handheld sealing system it cannot be used unless the flat sealer can be removed to reveal a nozzle. The round units need the nozzle to be inserted into the opening. My sealing system has all three systems. Standard seal a meal bags, nozzle, and flat zippered type bags.

I am not sure, but I have used the original FoodSaver bags with it. If its the same technology then it should work.

I have not used them with the Foodsavrr, but would expect that they would work. The problem that I ser, is that if there is any liquid in the bag at the time of sealing my could get sucked into the machine.

Simple answer is No. The long answer is maybe. The bags are too wide for my foodsaver and if you ruffle the edge to make it fit, the folds won't seal. Also, the smoothness of the bags creates a vacuum barrier that will not allow full evacuation of the bag. We used a straw attached to the hose assembly to vacuum the bag bottom-to-top, withdrawing the straw as needed, and then quickly closed and finished sealed the bag. This method did require pre-sealing all but 1/4" of the bag top, allowing just enough opening for straw insertion. TMI? :)

I'm not sure about the generic bag? I suppose as long as the sealer can get connected to duck out the air. But yes you can seal liquid food as long as the food doesn't get in the suction area..

Yes. The foodsaver bags are essentially the standard for use with Sous vide.

Absolutely NOT. These bags are not suitable for food or perishables. They are not air tight.

Yes. That is your canister seal. It makes the canister air tight and keeps your food fresh and bugs out.

I'm sure you can. Google the bags to see what they are compatible with. I think the model#'s have to match or see what model#'s your bags work with.

Yes but the quality ziplock freezer bags don't work because the zipper part is too thick. Use regular cheap store brand ones

The seal a meal will not seal mylar bags. If you have the seal a meal that is for mylar bags then you wouldn't need this item.

Yes. You need to purchase the attachment, about $12.00. Set the lid on the jar top. A cap goes over that and a tube is inserted into the hole on the cap and connected to the hole on the top, right side, of the Seal-a-Meal. Then you just proceed as if you are sealing a bag.This attachment works great. We use it more than the bags and you can re-use the lids indefinitely. Great if you buy volume coffee. We keep dried fruit, grains, etc.

My guess is "yes". The bags seem to be air tight. Just be sure to discard the bag after using it to marinate.

It would depend on which model you are using. If you have an upright model then it will not work. Be careful of overheating which can cause the FoodSaver not to seal properly.

I have FoodSaver and do not know about "Seal-A-Meal." If your machine works like FoodSaver there should be no problem.
