A Review of Rival’s Food Sealer Products

5th March, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

The Rival Company has labored for many years offering time-saving appliances for today’s kitchens including some Commercial Vacuum Sealer as well. This manufacturer’s coffee pots and roasters have made food preparation easy for generations of moms, dads and their active families. We should not be shocked, then, to find out that this appliance designer also makes a convenient and affordable vacuum sealer to help us to store the ingredients for those conveniently prepared meals. See below to learn how the Rival Seal-A-Meal can improve your food storage capabilities.

While the Seal-A-Meal is made for working with quart bags, the real genius within this machine becomes evident when plastic rolls are installed on the appliance. The user merely is required to modify the heat settings as per the user’s manual, then put the foodstuffs over a layer of plastic and switch on the appliance.

The Seal-A-Meal works like a Commercial Vacuum Sealer. It heat-seals the food in an air-tight bag which is precisely the size of the food inside. This means of storing food decreases the possibility of freezer burn and frees up storage area in a typical freezer. The Seal-A-Meal will then trim the bag to size, then the user may then place the bag in a kitchen freezer for storage. The user’s manual even contains advice with regards to the length of time that particular food products may be frozen inside these vacuum bags.

The Seal-A-Meal keeps on being a convenient machine once the food is efficiently stored. The food channel can be removed from the appliance for easy cleaning of spills or drips resulting from the sealing process. After the sealing procedure and the tidying-up are over, this vacuum sealer will sit unobtrusively on the kitchen counter, or if you decide on the space-saving wall-mount attachment, you can keep it within reach but out of your way. It would be nice if the kitchen help were as compliant!

The Rival Seal-A-Meal is an affordable device, which is not to be confused with being shoddy. While many vacuum sealers can be marketed for $140 or more, this machine most often retails for around $100, and possibly a lower price than that at Christmas or clearance sales.

The plastic rolls cost near to $10, and give you many more bags than the rolls of pre-cut bags made to be sealed by many vacuum sealers. When you also factor in the time and food which are automatically saved by using vacuum sealed bags, you can quickly realize that the Rival Seal-A-Meal is a sensible investment for a modern kitchen.
