TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Aldi Food Sealer

Wed 25 Jan, 2017 2:41 pm

Latest Aldi catalogue lists their Ambiano Food Sealer on sale Sat 4/2 for $60 as well as the choice of rolls or bags $14. Can anyone comment on how good these are ? Bags are listed as microwave, boil and freezer safe.

I have a Sunbeam one that's lasted years and I think there are only a few manufacturers of the bags around and they need to be food safe. Commercially, food is regularly heat treated in the bags so being microwavable and boilable is essential.

We wouldn't be without it for home or hiking.

I bought a super cheap one from AliExpress - $23. It works way better than I expected, better than the orved $400 machines I've used before.

I can't vouch for it's long term quality but hey if you want to get started cheap...
