I'm looking to get a vacuum sealer to make it tidier and easier to put things away in the freezer. Anyone who can recommend a good one? Price range up to £50.
I bought one the other week. I did a fair amount of research into the various ones, both from the ultra cheap up to FoodSaver etc. In the end I settled for the greatly named Aicok because it has a good warrenty, works with liquids and has a pulse button unlike a lot of them to control the amount of air taken out. I bought some cheap rolls to use in it and the combo seems to work fine.
Both come in under your budget by 2p too at £49.98

That is a bit of a deal breaker, if you bulk prepare currys, lasagne meat mix, stock, etc., and then cannot, in one shot, evacuate the bag and put into the freezer,Pro tip that I read for vacuum sealers in general: sometimes it's easier to put liquidy things in the freezer for a little while before you try and vacuum seal them. If they're slightly frozen it makes them a bit more malleable.
Ok - it is true the liquid is generally thickened too, and can, I imagine, support the sealer a few inches above bag lip.Just can vacuum pack moist... hit the seal button before the liquid goes flowing into the suction area
where do you get your bags ? (less resiliant freezer grade ones, usually <£2 for 80@20x30cm)I much prefer to have a range of ready made (sealed on three sides) bags
