Over the weekend we made some chicken breast pounded thin, stuffed with ham and gouda, (secured with toothpicks) and wrapped in a slice of bacon. We made a couple extra since we were firing it up anyway and it's just me and the husband. I decided to vacuum seal the extras with the Foodsaver. I microwaved one of them today for lunch; just put the bag unopened in the microwave.
The result was the juiciest piece of leftover chicken i've ever had. I shared it with my co-worker since it was way more than I needed for lunch, and the dude smiled as he chewed. We haven't been without a Foodsaver for years since we buy a lot of bulk and package our own quantities, and we camp a lot so its always good to throw in the cooler and not get waterlogged. This was totally a win though because now I can cook stuff on the weekend and have it not dry out in the fridge to have a few days later. Just sharin

We have a V3835, and it works great. This is actually our 2nd. The first one just stopped sealing as well as it should. I don't recall what model it is but we do keep it in our camper just in case.

Our "must-have" accessory on it though is probably the cannisters. We do skirt steaks in them with some mole and other mexican spices, and serve sliced thin with onion, tomato, tortillas etc to make some great Carne Asada

Not sure of a different model, this one works pretty well. The bags are not cheap but we get them in bigger packages from Sams. Hope this helps
+1 on the food saver, not quite sure which model, but it works like a charm. Also +1 on buying the rolls for bags at Sam's. We've got us enough to last quite awhile even with me always making the bags bigger than necessary.
