    SV dead?

    Welp, I guess my original Joule is dead. Started making noise the other day then stopped, figured it was a fluke. Then again and she shut down, now it's serious and loud!! She shakes and off balance. Always been cleaned and well taken care of, obviously many miles on the odometer...

    Best Sub$320 Vacuum Sealer

    I LOVE the Vacmaster I bought from @lisa b This 360 is a diff world! Even came with 2nd set of foam seals! True it is large but that is just fine for me. Also the discount we get on our bags does not apply to a new machine(sorry for the bad news).

    I tried looking at checking my seals and the seems the foam oval seal is not replaceable on my unit? And this foam seal is the one that is deformed.

    I already buy my rolls from VSU so buying the Vacmaster is getter nicer indeed:-) also this will have its own spot next to my SV (I’m finally building the table I’ve had in mind for some time, nice to get it going!) My food saver wil not suction air out of the bag unless I bear grip the unit...

    The Vacmaster is down to $327 for Labor Day and looking more into Cabelas because obviously their stuff is crazy popular!

    I was close to pulling the trigger on a Avid Armor A420 https://a.co/d/9j6dJ09 But the LEM was so near in price I thought I should ask the forum for some input first.

    Best Sub$320 Vacuum Sealer

    My food saver is on its last leg, so would it be in my best interest to throw down for a LEM vac sealer? I would just like a nice unit and the LEM 1253 max vac 500 is what I am considering. It’s a considerable chunk of cheddar on a piece of equipment but I know it will be used. Anyone have...

    Curious about Vacuum Sealer Bags

    I have used the food saver bags(it’s been some time) and now use VSU. currently on a roll with the texture can’t recall which that is. But I prefer the performance of them over any other!

    Garlic Confit

    Chef Jimmyj, we know the garlic aroma on our person all to well LoL I will try your spread ASAP! And thanks for the info about the oil, exactly the info I was hoping for. I actually thought I was getting bad oil so it’s a relief to know I’m ok in that area hahahaha. And I love the warm water...

    Garlic Confit

    I do about 6 or 8 heads at a time, 180(?)degree’s is the starting point but let the bubbles guide me for the temp. Want a slow bubble going, then wait for golden to happen :-) I do as much oil as I can cuz it’s great 👍

    Garlic Confit

    I have read the same thing so I am very careful about my fridge temp, always 37* and the jars go into the fridge very soon after coming out of whatever cooking implement they were in (smoker or oven). Also I am careful about how long they stay in the fridge, I have poured a few containers out...

    Garlic Confit

    So this is my third or 4th run of garlic confit, 2nd on the smoker. I don’t remember getting sediment in the oil last time I used the smoker. This time I used a different olive oil and was not happy with the result at all. But back to the question: When the jar settles the oil will clear and...
