Question 1

I already have some plastic pouches that I currently use with a heat sealer. Can i still use thse bags with your vacuum sealer ?

Accepted Answer

Basically yes-if you have any heat seal(ed) pouches these will work no problem. After using this great gadget for a while now, I have found that packaging such as multipacks of crisps etc. work just as well.If you are freezing ensure though that you are using proper thicker bags- (crisp bags for example don't protect from freezer burn).

Question 2

Hello, whole fruit such as banana and grapes be sealed and kept fresh for longer please?

Accepted Answer

I do not eat banana but soft fruit like grapes and berry's is best sealed in containers as bags will crush them in containers I can keep them in the fridge for over a week.

Question 3

can you unseal and re-use your pouches to save you buying expensive pouches?

Accepted Answer

I've never tried, but it might be worth a go!  You'd need to make sure all grease, etc, was thoroughly washed out and dried as you won't get a good seal other wise.  I get these rolls of bags and they seal perfectly for boiling and microwaving after defrosting, and work out quite economical, I think.  Good luck, though, if you try!  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008ZZWRWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes it most certainly is and it is a great item, I highly recommend it and you can get it online without being a member. I'm normally a loyal Amazonian but loyalty to my fellow citizens obliged me to post the question as I had tried to include this in a review but kept receiving messages "sorry you can't say that"!!!!
