Remember the late lamented Handi-Vac? Well, I found...
this FoodSaver gadget at K-Mart (also readily available from their site)



It's rechargeable and gives a much better vacuum and more reliable seal than the Handi-Vac ever did. As usual, the bags aren't as cheap as I'd like, but they are sturdy.

And FoodSaver probably won't be getting out of the business any time soon.

Looks easier to use than the standard food vac contraption.

Thanks for the tip.

4. Interesting!...
The Handivac worked far better than the little Ziploc version. But I can't find the bags anymore and don't really want a bigger machine. I'll have to check this out. Thanks!
