Do the food saver rolls have a "zip" sealand if not, how do you get the air out?

You would basically cut the size you want. Seal one end, then add your item and the food saver will remove the air and the seal the bag.

Your Foodsaver appliance removes the air and heat seals your package. There is no "zip seal" involved in preparation of your product for storage. Hope this answers your question.

They do not have zip deals and you get the air out by using the machine which has a vacuum sealer on it.

When you use the Food Saver Machine it automatically sucks the air out. You can use it with moist or dry items. I love this product as I like to buy in bulk sometimes at Sam's or Costco's and then I bring it home and divide it up. I'll sometime make the bags ahead of time but it depends on the size of the items you are freezing.

these are vacuum sealer bags. you will cut them to the desired length and use a vacuum sealer to remove the air. no "zip"

Cut to side, then you seal one end with the heat sealer, the place food in the bag, and put the open end in the sealer. The sealer sucks the air out before it heat seals the end. Each foodsaver is a little different so follow the directions, it's pretty easy.

You have to seal both ends with the food saver. You cut the length you need, seal one end, put the food in, put the other end into the machine and it seals and removes the air. voila.

There is no zip seal. The bags are cut to the desired length and sealed using the FoodSaver machine. The bag is then cut again to open it, and can be resealed many times with the machine.

You seal this one with the button on top of the container. You need a different type of container to use with a food saver.

They zip with a Velcro fastener at the top. I never completely unzip them because I am lazy and feel they are easier to deal with when unzipped about half-way.

Its hard to say without know what your trying to seal, but it won't pull a complete vacuum if there are gaps where air can get trapped, its not powerful enough for that. It helps to arrange the food so that it is at the bottom of the bag and compacted as much as possible before hand.

I was just wondering if this comes with any of the Foodsaver rolls (bags)? Thank you!!

If I had asked the same question you are asking before I purchased these rolls, I never would have bought them. They seal just fine, but when I tried to vacuum/seal I experienced a big problem. No vacuuming occurred after about the first 5 seconds. I am very disappointed. I would not advise buying this product.

You can seal bags without vaccuming the air out. I also reseal potato chip bags, brown sugar bags, etc without having to put the in foodsaver bags. any food that comes in a bag can usually be reseal with this.

Yes an impulse heat sealer or foodsaver like pump is necessary to seal these shut, although these bags are very thin and don't seal well and break easily after being frozen and the plastic stretching. Look into zippops they are the best alternative I found with good thick plastic and a ziplock like seal so you don't need a heat sealer even though you can use one anyway. This product here isn't good though

there are special bags for travel that don't require a vacuum to get the air out. You roll them and it takes the air out. I have some but have not used them yet but they do work cause I tested them.

I don't recall that the seal was "airtight" once opened, and the inside did not have an extra lining. It seemed to "keep" very well, but I supposed you could break it up and vacuum seal what isn't used in the near term.

I don't think the're airtight but the ones I have are defective. The "zip strip" is not attatched to both sides of the bag, so they don't seal at all. I have purchased these big zip bags for a few years now and have some old ones here but these are manufactured wrongly.

My Ziploc sealer is in the blink and I just borrowed a friend's FoodSaver sealer. Tested the Ziplock sealer bags on hand and they sealed perfectly because they are also textured. Same for a generic roll I bought for larger bags.

No. There's a special vacuum seal on the bags you have to use with it. However Ziploc does now make bags with the little round vacuum thingy in the corner.

these are zip lock. they do not have the zipper runner. they do make a seal good enough to keep clothes "vacuum" packed. That is I don't get any air in once I squeeze all the air out. I have put food in them and when they are too full they will leak.

There is double zipper like on ziploc bags. Then you suck the air out using a sealable hole.

The package that the oxygen absorbers come in is airtight.Each packet is not.I use my food saver with a jar attachment to put all i did not use in a mason jar and remove the air this way each time you use them they are fresh.I also put a silica jell pack into the jar as extra protections.Before i did this i used a zip lock bag or a jar with lid ,the indicator changed in about 2 months whereas the vacuum packed jars i have almost a year and the indicator is unchanged.

YES! I accidentally found out how much better vacuum sealed steaks tasted vs ziplocked and I was HOOKED. I'll grill out mass quantities off meats (pork chops, chicken thighs, chicken breasts, hamburger patties... you name it, let them cool slightly and seal 'em up. I call them "meat snacks". I've actually sealed chili, ground turkey and tomatoes, ham and potato stew... pretty much anything. Really helps to be able to grab something from the freezer at work vs going out for fat food. (Typo intentional, lol.) Protip... if your sealer seems to be losing suction after say a year or so, just moisten the foam rings prior to using. Gotta do it each time, but it beats buying a new unit.
