Can I use ziplock freezer bag with this machine?

The Frisper only works with Oliso bags. They are thicker than any other bag I have used. I wash them and reuse them. You can use the bags up to eight times. It works perfectly. I am very happy with the Frisper. Small---easy to use---and fast. Just a side note: I also got the wine stopper that can be used with the Frisper. It is absolutely the best wine stopper on the market.

I wouldn't recommend it. It is a Zip Lock bag just like the others. Could work, but made more for storage with a handle.

I use Ziplock vacuum bags. They are less expensive and I actually like them better.

The only issue would be that their seal strip is weaker than a ZipLok. For water protection I would recommend a ZipLok freezer bag - thick film and double seal.

Absolutely. I buy them regularly to repackage meat for vacuum freezing. My only suggestion is that you need to minimize handling after freezing because you can disturb the vacuum seal if constantly moving things around in your freezer (unless you are very careful when doing so). NOTE: I assume you have the Ziploc vacuum contraption to remove the air. These bags require that.

I don't know - I've never tried to use regular ziplocks. I considered trying them out to see how it would go, but decided against it. The sealer uses heat to seal the bags, and the ones used for the Sealer System are much thicker material. *If* the sealer's heat is too much for the regular ziplocks then I'd have a mess on my hands cleaning up the melted plastic. Better to stick with the bags they recommend - which are far sturdier than any of the regular ziplocks, including the heavy freezer bags.

I haven't used either the frig or ziplock. I just fold the end over so I don't loose any of it. If you like you can call Purina.

Yes, they can be used for freezer. However, they are not very thick so double bagging would be good and they are NOT "zipper" type bags. I am so glad to be able to find these because I have always had so many uses for just a plain quart size bag WITHOUT all the zipping parts. I was NOT able to buy plain baggies anywhere until I found them here-so I stocked up. Definitely would buy again and again as long as they are available!

I would think the meat would be OK but if it were a sandwich you would be crushing the bread and when it thawed out it would be ugly. I do not think ziplock bags would work as they are too thin, but I have not tried it.

No longer a problem with current food storage bags. Use ziplock freezer bags, they are designed for long term food storeage and are stable at sous vide temps.

I usually store my freezer meals in a freezer ziplock bag. I suppose you could try it but you would have to find a way to close it really well. Otherwise it will spill before it is frozen. It might freeze an awkward shape and not fit into the crock pot. Plus, the plastic is not very thick like a zip lock bag or freezer bag.

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.

I bought it with the ziplock space bags and it doesn't work at all. Luckily I had my old vacuum cleaner

I did. I think at one point I had 10 or so gallon-size Ziploc bags full of sticks in my freezer. I think they work great (I prefer the sticks to bags because you can always pull just what you need & they thaw faster). The only thing I would say is I would only do that with a chest freezer. I think the temperature isn't consistent enough in a regular freezer and the sticks would end up clumping together over time.

The bags are not pre cut so you can make any size bag. We use this vacuum sealer for freezing meats and fish. I am very happy with it. Very easy to use.

Yes. I pump directly into the bags and then freeze. I label a gallon size freezer bag and store the milk in there. I suppose you can also wrote on the bags with a permanent marker.

No. It only does bags and the containers. AND the bags are only the ones you would open and close on a regular basis, like, for instance, cheese for daily use. It won't hold a seal on a bag put in a freezer. I tried it and it failed!!!!!! Hope this helps.
