Could you be more clear regarding holes in the mylar vs holes in the foil and what makes your product superior?

Sure, I am happy to. There is a popular misconception that there is one Mylar film and the thicker, the better. Actually, there are many kinds of Mylar films which consist of layers of different materials that serve different purposes. Mylar itself is a transparent member of the polyester family that is remarkably strong. The Mylar in this film has a bursting strength of 69 pounds per square inch so it can withstand a lot of abuse. In order to make the film a protective barrier to oxygen, a foil layer is added. (oxygen cannot go through glass or metal) This foil layer can be disturbed by folding, moving or filling the bag and you can sometimes see a scratch or a separation during regular use but these are not holes in the film and do not significantly effect the performance of the bag. Mylar bags from Pack Fresh are made here in Southern California and have never been shipped until you buy them. That is how we can afford to compete with the other discount "mylar" that comes from China. There are some enlightening Washington Post articles that should make it clear why American-made products such as those from Pack Fresh are superior. Have a great day and please let us know if you have further questions.

Yes I use foil quite often. There is no problem. Think of it as a mini conventional oven that's a little faster

Posting on behalf of the actual user: the original foil and blades lasted 3 years before the blades had to be replaced, and even then the outer foil looked fine. Developing a hole after only eight months of normal use is not usual.

Mylar bags is the way to go if you want an extended shelf life. Vacuum bags are good but can't compare to the shelf life of Mylar.

No problem just keep the heat at meduim low and adjust the moisture vents. No need for foil.

It's some type of man made material. Not sure exactly what though. As far as the material touching the foilage we didn't have a problem with that.

I just got these a couple weeks ago and there were no holes. Perhaps there is a regional variance or it is depending on who is selling them. But I'd go into it assuming they are sans holeage.

I found the box to be appropriate for the content. I did not realize that Rubbermaid made two different qualities of plastic. This soft plastic is above (barely) Ziplock quality. When microwaving material with in can melt the plastic a bit. I am however, going to order the harder plastic, which is clear, and a better product in my estimation. Nevertheless, this is a very good value for.

I have no idea. i use these to protect my handmade cards. They are crystal clear and can be sealed and resealed a few times. Love them.Sorry I couldn't help.

I would much rather grab a box of these compared specifically to normal CopperTop alkaline for when I have to enter the field and will drain a few and can't spare time to get screwed with duds or have uneven current life. I think these just have higher quality controls but I can't confirm it. It's probably marketing but I feel better just the same. Perhaps its a pro pack because it comes in a self storing a box and not a silly blister pack.

The "foil" is a very specially hardened stainless steel. Aluminum would be far too soft to function as a cutting edge! There's an incredible amount of thinking that goes into that very special material.

Actually that hole is important. First, if anyone was to try to fire a ceramic piece that thick, it would likely shatter. Second, it helps air get into the handle when you cook, making the handle cooler when you get ready to serve the tasty stuff to your guests. I have had good luck with these, by the way.

Thank you for the reply, but I was referring more to the mesh itself if it is fine enough to keep very tiny bugs out.

The screen is for the charcoal. But the foil to me works better. Use either.

The sleeves are lined with foil. The metal stops data readers from being able to pick up the data off the chip in your credit card. If you want to go on the cheap, you can wrap your credit cards in aluminum foil, but it is a pain in the neck to reinsert your card and refold the aluminum foil around your card every time you use it. The sleeves are clean, you can insert them in slots in your wallet for that purpose and they will last a long time, unlike the aluminum foil.

I purchase a smaller contain some months back from a different supplier and it did not have lumps in it. I believe is should have been a smoother product. However, onces I cupped the product in my hands, my body temperature melted the product and it was ok. I did not notice a hole in the bottom of the product I purchased but I will look at it this evening.

This is something I haven't tried, so someone with more experience could possibly provide a better answer. Considering the package is mylar and for what the product is designed to do, it is pretty obvious that moisture would be the problem. So if you could reseal in a similar type bag and eliminate the possibility of moisture contamination, I would think it would work.
