According to a recent study, Americans throw away roughly $1,300 a year on spoiled food. It takes a toll on both the earth and your wallet — but one brand aims to minimize waste, maximize savings and even help you cook and organize like a pro. FoodSaver’s vacuum sealer systems remove the air to keep your food fresher up to five times longer compared with standard storage options (a lifesaver in this economy), but the practicality doesn’t end there.
For one, FoodSaver bags are made with multiple layers of durable, BPA-free material, so they’re not only freezer- and refrigerator-safe but can also be used for microwaving and elevated cooking techniques like sous vide. For another, they even have a line of accessories to help you marinate quicker and preserve liquids like wine and oil. Plus, FoodSaver’s line of zipper bags provides an easy solution for on-the-go storage. FoodSaver bags are puncture- and tear-resistant, so you can seal your toiletries to prevent leaks in your luggage while traveling. You can even use your FoodSaver machine for organization; save room in your closet by vacuum-sealing clothes and stuffed animals, or protect important documents (like passports and social security cards) in waterproof, airtight plastic.
