New Product Review

As you already know,  I love to try new gadgets.  And I love it even more when the new gadget works great.  Well, the fine folks at Ziploc have brought us another awesome product - the Ziploc Vacuum. You simply fill up the special vacuum seal Ziploc bags with whatever you want to keep, seal the bag and let the gadget go to work. It's a little pump, and it looks like a huge plastic syringe, and you just put the end of the plunger thing over the designated spot on the special vacuum-seal Ziploc bags and then just start pumping and the gadget will take all of the air out of the bag.  Our good friend and neighbor PS got one earlier this week and when he showed it to Mom, well, she just had to have one. (Now you know where I get it from.) 


We tried the gadget out this morning and it was awesome.  We filled up a gallon bag with some zucchini muffins, and with just a few pumps from the gadget, all of the air was out of the bag and we just popped it in the freezer. I immediately went to the fridge and grabbed a couple hunks of cheese and fixed them in a bag, too.  Now when we want a slice of cheese, we just open the bag, get our cheese, and then get the little gadget and pump the air out of the bag and put it back in the freezer.  


You can't beat the price - I got the starter kit containing the handy gadget and 3 quart bags for $3.98, and got a box of 8 gallon-sized bags for only $2.98.  You can't beat the price when compared to the big Seal-A-Meal machines they sell for over $100. 


Ziploc Vacuum Seal contraption most definitely gets two thumbs up and the TWIT Seal Of Approval.
