Wanted to ask, I don't own a vacuum food sealer. Is it

For that style they need to have a flat side. So no to circle, yes to octagon.

Ok cool.

Octagon was more important anyways. If I get the sealer plastic they sell on rolls, is it ok to cut it into the shapes I need?

>>941090
They have two features, impulse seal, which melts the plastic sheets together and vacuum which removes the air.

You can cut the plastic to what shape or size you need.

Thanks much for the info. This is gonna make some projects a lot easier.

Where can I get a steak printer like this? Or does someone have a guide so I could build my own?

>>941042
Once it's sealed, you could use a regular bag sealer to cut it to whatever shape you want, no?

>>941042
Look for "heat sealer" and you'll save a lot of money if you don't need to vacuum seal it. Also that is going to be a lot handler to work with.

No joke look for "bioprinter" instructables has a DIY bioprinter. Good luck with your Frankensteak.

In an effort to derail OPs semi retarded thread;

Everyone post your vacuum sealers and how well they work. Iv been looking into getting one but I live in a condo so I dont want something that takes a lot of counter space,.

I've been using one of the early FoodSavor's we bought from Costco and although it works "okay" the new ones that they carry now are better from what I hear. I think OP's pic related is one. They're something you keep stored out of the way until you need it but they aren't huge.

>>941233
BTW I don't think OP's post is semi-retarded at all... Yours on the other hand is.

So its less retarded to ask a question that can be answered in the appliances manual than a question of opinion from real people?

>>941280
OP doesn't own one yet. I can almost guarantee that the manual doesn't cover octagons.

>>941042
I use a Weston 2300 Pro for my food. I have a homemade vacuum machine to do other things.
What is it that you are trying to do. It would help guide you on what equipment to use.
I use vacuum for fiberglass work. It pulls a vacuum on the fiberglass so the resin will impregnate all of the glass and not have air bubbles.

>>941042
Yes. However, you'll need to seal it around the shape using multiple angles. Outward curves like a circle will be easy. Inward curves won't work.

So, an octagon will work just fine. You'll

Vacuum sealers are great.

Learn about Mylar, OP. Mylar bags are light barriers and much better than plastic. Unless you're using UMAi bags to age beef. Mylar might be much cheaper, too.

Check out sous vide cooking, too. Vacuum seals aren't necessary but they still work for it. You can cook literally perfect steaks with sous vide.

Maybe he meant how you said intravenously instead of I have, or maybe he's talking about the fact that you have a condo
