Water Displacement Method for Food

Darren_316779

Has anyone tried using the water displacement method to vacuum seal food for storage and keeping them fresh longer?

Technically, the water should push all the air out of the ziploc bag when submerged fully. I wonder how does the seal compare to a basic handheld vacuum pump?

Yup. Works nearly as well as my FoodSaver sealer. I use that method both for sous vide in zip lock bags and for removing air from freezer zippys before freezing. I would say at this point, I use if more often than the FoodSaver...only going to the vacuum when I am doing long cooks.
