This Best-Selling Amazon Vacuum Sealer Will Save You Time and Money

We’ve all been guilty of letting food expire and ultimately being forced to toss it at some time or another. Not only is food being wasted but so is your hard-earned money. That’s why we’re big fans of vacuum sealers, which preserve food by reducing air and limiting bacterial growth so that everything stays as fresh as the day you sealed it. No more freezer-burned meats or moldy cheeses! Vacuum sealers are also great to use for marinating, sous-vide cooking, microwaving, and, best of all, they eliminate the need for storage containers, so you’ll save space in your fridge and freezer.

If you’re thinking of adding this game-changing kitchen tool to your arsenal, you might consider the NutriChef Vacuum Sealer, Amazon’s best-selling vacuum sealer with over 4,300 5-star reviews. Roughly the size of an egg carton, it features two sealing modes — dry for solids and snacks or moist for simmered or steamed foods — and can help keep food fresh up to five times longer than regular plastic bags and containers. According to customers, this small appliance has made a huge difference in their approach to meal prep and storage.

“This gets the job done!” said one reviewer. “I’m an avid cook and baker, and with 2 small kids, I make a LOT of small sized foods, in bulk. My freezer would be packed FULL of Ziplocs. Not anymore. This thing has saved my food AND my space! It’s so easy to use, and I love that it’s so simple. You can cut bags to size, use it with marinades, wet food, and seal in canisters. It’s not horribly loud either. I just vacuum sealed 2 freezers in 3 hours.”

Another customer loves that the vacuum sealer is a huge time saver. “I now make more food, we vacuum seal it and we have homemade fast food that we pull out of the freezer whenever we are in a hurry or we just don’t feel like cooking that night,” the reviewer wrote. “We boil the frozen food in the bag and that makes it even easier for us… no messy pots and pans to clean after dinner! The food tastes like I just made it!!!”

The NutriChef Vacuum Sealer comes with a starter kit that includes a wine stopper cork, five medium vacuum bags (78 x 118 inches) and one extra-long vacuum bag roll (78 x 790 inches), which are reusable and waterproof. Replacement bags and extra rolls can be purchased as well, in case you find yourself experimenting like this customer:

“It can pull a vacuum strong enough to crumple an empty soda can, ” said a reviewer who tested the NutriChef Vacuum Sealer’s strength. “Crushing cans is not super useful I know, but it IS cool!”

We totally agree.
