I'm currently packaging dried meals in quart sized vacuum bags. For most things its working well as far as holding foods go. I haven't cooked with them yet, but will start that next week. I have experienced one problem when repackaging Idahoan sliced potatoes. They often puncture the bag when a vacuum is applied. I may have solved that problem by breaking up the potatoes into smaller bits, but that means I won't have nice big pieces of potato in the meal. Does anyone have a work around for this, or am I on the right track? Would dehydrated potato dices work better thanthe slices? Can the be rehydrated using a cozy?
Thanks for being patient with this noob.
