Re: Snorkel vs foo saver

It’s not clear, based on the forum threading, if you are speaking to me, but I’ll answer and apologize if you aren’t.

It’s not really loud, but I try to keep a closed door between the chamber vacuum and anybody who is sleeping. No complaints so far.

No, I can’t seal more than one bag at a time. But at Thanksgiving, we produced many quarts of turkey stock. !5? 18? I don’t remember. We set up a production line and I was doing the long (60-second) vacuum and I was able to more-or-less keep pace with the people who were straining and filling the bags with broth.

And – no contest on venison. It takes longer to process a muscle portion than it does to ladle broth.

And that was with the extended 60-second vacuum. Which is actually not much stronger than the 30-second vacuum.

Oh……. wups. Maybe I didn’t understand your question. The sealer bar is 12″ wide. If you have two bags that are less than 6″ wide, then – yes – you can seal more than one bag at a time. Putting the bags side-by-side works fine.
