I used the same bag and tried it 3 times. I made a raft using straws as suggested. I just couldn’t get a good vacuum and seal. I’ll definitely try again with the machine since it sounds like it takes a few times to get the hang of it. No worries though because I didn’t waste the bag and have a hunk of meat in the fridge aging as I write this. 🙂
