Best commercial food prepartion equipment according to redditors

This is a foot pedal that attaches to a crimping device of some sort. The one I have came with [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HO30TE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) a chain attaches from pedal to the base of unit, which is clamped to a work table. I know this is a poor explanation and I have not been able to locate an example.

edit: [found it] (https://www.amazon.com/Heat-Sealer-Foot-Pedal-Attachment/dp/B00O18F0N4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484414955&sr=8-1&keywords=hand+held+heat+sealer+foot+pedal)

So... Let this be your proverbial writing on the wall if you haven't already started: prepare for food shortages or price shocks now.

Buy rice and beans at the grocery store, load it into mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, and seal them. They will last 20 years. Think about what might happen to food production and availability over the course of 20 years. A good goal is 2 weeks of food and water per person.

Start thinking now about your Spring garden. You can do sub-irrigated beds, containers, raised beds, and/or rain gutter grow system for high yields on annuals. Establish some local food security.

What do you mean dragons don't seal bags?

Damn, I'd uninstall right now if my phone actually could play the game.

Well I hate to inform you but...

$29 on Amazon will get you an "impulse sealer".
https://www.amazon.com/Metronic-Impulse-Sealer-Sealing-Machine/dp/B07T473CBY

All you need for a "professional seal". It's what they do use. But anyone can do it. Same way they seal Mylar bags, plastic bags, anything and everything packaging wise is sealed with one.

tell him to get an impulse heat sealer and make a poster out of it

Not OP, but looks like she uses cello bags and a heat sealer like this: Flexzion 8-Inch/200mm Impulse Sealer with Replacement Element Grip and Teflon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011TS3UWQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qC.Dyb5GSFY9J
That's what I use for my cookies :)

Well friend this is your lucky day. For a mere $623 you can have this heavy duty metal die cast milkshake maker Waring Commercial WDM360 Heavy Duty Diecast Metal Triple Spindle Drink Mixer that will mix your milk at 24,000 RPM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BHQT5YS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uHNTCbN23D4MH

This is what I use. Works like a charm. I typically use it with Wilton treat bags.

A few ideas:

1. Make a track to set them in. Build something with 3 pieces of wood or find something you can reuse, plastic edging etc.
   
2. Taking a stroll around a hardware store might help you find something out.
   
3. If you know someone with a 3D printer, they might be able to make you a stand.
   
4. Final idea, maybe a clip with a screw hole? Simple Smart Stainless Steel Chip Bag Clips Multi-pack of 12-6 with magnets 6 with holes, For Home, School and Office use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJRJ1BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uSr1DbKQP83MP

Nothing beats a spindle mixer for milkshakes.

I got a 1965 edition of the Anskarum mixer, bought it for $100 on a flea market. I use it several times a week, and guess it got many years in it still.

I know what I would buy if I had to buy a new one, but I doubt I ever will..

Just put yourself in a giant one of these.

Would this work?

Let me start off with, I love sleeving cards. I can watch tv or a movie and sleeve cards all day every day. I'm crazy so I open all sealed products with latex gloves, then cards go into a KMC perfect fit then I use this https://amzn.com/B00QK5AEBE to seal its soul. Then into an outer sleeve. Valuable cards go in binders and others into those white card boxes. I also throw one of these https://amzn.com/B001UYEBNW into the storage unit, deck box, binder, storage box. Hope this helps ya! =D

Use the advice in the other comment, where you vacuum seal some ice cubes. Let it sit out until the water thaws and then see where your leaks are. That will show you where you might have dirt on the heat sealer.

Wiping it might help, especially if you wipe it while it's warm. Be careful not to burn yourself and use something that won't melt or otherwise be affected by the heat. Like a dry paper towel as long as you keep it moving so it doesn't burn or get stuck.

If you want to do it cold then you can try scraping it very, very gently with like a small razor blade or something along those lines. But that's more if it's dirty enough that you can see where plastic is stuck to it. Still... Be very careful and very gentle that you don't damage it though, because then it won't seal right anyway.

It might be better to see if you can order a replacement strip for it, but since the company's not offering much support it might not matter.

You can buy something like this (they should have cheaper ones) and use it to manually seal the bags ahead of where the vacuum sealer is attempting to do so.

Here are some links for the product in the above comment for different countries:

I have this sealer and [this roll of tube] (http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-5869/Shrink-Film-Tubing/14-x-1500-100-gauge-Shrink-Tubing) and [this heat gun] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004TUCV) that I picked up to do a run of 100 board games.

All three are great, but I don't use them any more. I'm not willing to ship them (just too heavy), but if you're local to Boston by chance, we should talk.

I heat them with a proper heat sealer. But I think some people here use irons, hair straighteners, and even heated pipe tampers.

But I use:

Nah, no tip needed. Love to see a photo of the finished product if you end up going this route. I linked to larger bags, and U-Line is rarely the cheapest, but it shouldn't be too hard to find similar packaging in whatever size you need.

Those little value-adds, like the compostable bag, for your market should give your customers the warm-fuzzies. Especially with the recent push towards not having zero-use plastics, and keeping that waste out of dumps.


I would also email that bag mfg, they might have slightly heavier bags, and inquire if they're able to be heat-sealed. Depending on the bag size you end up with, a heat sealer wouldn't be an expensive option.

Cant help you but this is a similar design

Put a bunch of these in the car

I'm posh so only use the Waitrose fabric bags where ever I go. You need at least six though as I'm not going back in doors if I forget one.

Also, you can actually just pull off 50 at the self serve and the server will just press the button that says it screwed up again.

Either way. There are options.

I want to say that this is what you are looking for

A quick, easy and tasty thing is to wrap the breast in smoked bacon (streaky bacon in the UK). Add a few splashes of Tabasco. Cook in the oven for 25-30 mins at 200 ºC (392 ºF) Gas mark 6.

I like to have it with cous-cous and roast veggies.

Total prep time is only a few minutes, and if you buy some of these there's no washing up!

Also, semi-pro-tip... use the timer on your phone when cooking
