re: Vacuum Sealer

Is that chamber sealer big enough to seal a pork shoulder?

After using several traditional models of vacuum sealers, the chamber vac sealer is what I have settled on. You just can't beat them. They are pricey though.

Chamber Vac

This is the unit I just got in August and I absolutely love it. I have ran food saver types for 20 years and a chamber vac is awesome. If you have room for it and want to spend on it id go that route. While you can use a food saver type and get by and do some liquid its not the same as using a chamber. Not sure if I could fit a pork shoulder. Probably a smaller one but I don't know about a big hog from a jumbo pack from rouses. I did want to have that option but the cost is prohibitive to get a giant chamber vac. If I cant fit one I'll use my past 16" suction style. I don't have the need for that often tho. You can also use a chamber vack like a traditional suction style and hang the bag out of the unit for long items like ribs or slabs of fish. You have to use certain bags tho I think that have texture on both sides.

It doesn’t crush the food like sucking the air out. Oil pump so it’s not near as loud as the food save type. Serviceable. It automatically starts when you shut the lid instead of having to close lids and press buttons. Bags are a lot cheaper. It comes with some spacers to take up space in the chamber. You can use what ever but if you do small things you want to take up the chamber space so it runs faster. I flat out love it.
