Fresh Food
Keep your food fresher longer with this food vacuum sealer and heat sealer. Air Lock gadgets help you preserve your favorite snacks and meals, easily.
To close up bags with an airtight, water-resistant seal (think: chips, crackers, cereal, and baking goods), use their heat sealer. It’s rechargeable via USB (hooray for no AAA batteries) and will seal up to 500 bags on a single charge. The folks from Air Lock even thought to put a magnet on the sealer, so you can keep this handy food freshness device on your fridge door.
Or, to take all the air out of a bag, use the Air Lock vacuum sealer. It will create a vacuum seal in just 30 seconds. This sealer comes with freezable, leak-proof bags that make food last three times longer, marinate meat in minutes, and won’t get freezer burn.
Besides keeping things fresher, you’ll save some money and waste less food, too. Go ahead and cook in bulk. You can seal in freshness in seconds.

4/17/2017 10:09 AMHello Mike, I love the small size of the vacuum sealer. My questions is about the bags that come with that. Would they hold up to prolonged heating in a sous vide application?

4/17/2017 11:24 AMHi Brenda, thank you for the comment and yes, they will hold up to the heat of sous vide.

4/17/2017 10:58 AMHi Mike... Can the seal created by the Air Lock be opened by hand or should it be cut open?
Also, Brenda's question regarding the vacuum sealer's use in sous vide is important to me also.
Mike – Grommet Team
4/17/2017 11:24 AMHi Len,
It probably can be opened by hand, but to ensure a clean, even opening, your best bet is to cut it open.
And yes, you can use the reusable bags for sous vide.

4/17/2017 11:34 AM@len Yep you can open by hand or cut. Personally, I've done both ways. When you go to re-seal the bag just make sure you start a little lower on the bag than where you previously re-sealed it.

4/17/2017 11:05 AMHow many bags come in the refill pack? What sizes?
Mike – Grommet Team
4/17/2017 11:13 AMHi J C, you get 10 refill bags that are 10" x 3" x 2.5".
Christine
4/17/2017 12:12 PMThis product has caught my eye. I see the Refill Bags are 10" x 3" x 2.5". Are there any plans to make other sizes? For instance 6-1/2" x 5-7/8", the size of a sandwich bag so a person could freeze individual portions? Thanks!
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 12:23 PM@Christine while we appreciate the suggestion, as of now there are no plans for new bag sizes. If it helps any, the bags are reusable and you may freeze them.
Stacey
4/17/2017 12:26 PMWhat kind of plastic are the bags for the vacuum sealer made of? Are they BPA free?
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 12:47 PM@Stacey yes, the bags are BPA free!
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 12:48 PMForgot to mention, they are ABS plastic
Holly
4/17/2017 12:32 PMThis looks like a great product - size, convenience, no batteries. So I might be asking too much - but does this work at all on grocery-store freezer bags, or only on your proprietary bags? Thanks
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 1:12 PM@Holly Appreciate the kind words! Air Lock Vacuum Sealer will only work on our bags. There's a specialty made valve on the corner of the bag which is where the Vacuum Sealer unit removes the excess air inside the bag.
Denise
4/17/2017 12:32 PMCan the vacuum sealer be used with Ziploc bags?
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 1:14 PM@Denise Air Lock Vacuum Sealer will only work on our bags. Traditional Ziplock bags don't have the valve needed on the bag itself to remove excess air.
Michael
4/17/2017 1:54 PMHi Mike. Looks like a great product. Can the bags be purchased in a larger quantity with a reduced price? The bags look a little spendy to me for daily use.
Mike – Grommet Team
4/17/2017 1:57 PMHi Michael, this would be a good question for our Wholesale team at [email protected]!
Nancy
4/17/2017 2:16 PMMike, Looks like a great product! How do you clean the bags? Approximately how many times can each bag be used.
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 2:44 PM@Nancy A little warm water and soap will do the trick. Approx how many times the bags can be used will depend on how they are treated. Even during the most extreme usage (heavy marinating, children start using it a football etc.) you're looking at at least 15-20 uses.
Nancy
4/17/2017 3:39 PM@Mike Great! Thanks!
Bernice
4/17/2017 3:27 PMHi Mike-the vacuum sealer requires your bags but the thermal bag sealer does not, is that correct? I know the thermal sealer does not remove the air, correct? Thanks
Mike – Special Guest
4/17/2017 3:34 PM@Bernice Correct on both accounts!
