Review: VonShef Food Sealer System

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, however I live alone so it is very difficult to find meat packaged perfectly for just myself. I find that I wind up wasting quite a bit because I end up cooking all of it and throwing away half before I’m able to eat it, or I keep half in the packaging and it ends up with freezer burn. With the VonShef Premium Vacuum Food Saver and Sealer System I am able to vacuum seal my unused food items and keep them stored perfectly for as long as I want to. This system is so easy to use that even a kitchen novice can use it with ease!



What are the features?

·         Seal food in seconds retaining it’s freshness and nutrients for longer
·         Allows for both a vacuum seal, or regular seal only
·         Prepare meals with a Sous Vide
·         Protects food from bacteria and prevents freezer burn
·         Pulse function to control vacuuming in small stages which is ideal for soft food packages

Usage tips:

This VonShef Food Sealer System is a breeze to use, it isn’t difficult at all, but one word of advice to people just getting started is to take your time. Don’t rush because you want this done perfectly that way you won’t mess up and possibly ruin your food. When cutting your bags, take great care to make sure the cuts are as straight and uniform as possible; this will make for a better seal as well as a better aesthetic look when storing the sealed foods. Also, be sure to make you bags long enough especially when using the vacuum seal function. The bags should be a couple (at least 2) inches longer than whatever food item you are placing in them, this is a great rule of thumb. It’s better to have too long of bags than too short. As the final tip, make sure that you always have the lid properly closed; you should hear a click from both sides when closing, if you don’t hear that click open the lid and try again.



My Opinions:

I truly don’t know how I lived without this VonShef Food Sealer System all of these years. I feel like I am able to keep my food much longer and even grocery shopping is much simpler because I no longer have to search high and low to find “single person” packaged food items. This sounds so sad but it’s true! The Food Sealer System works like a charm! I love the fact that I can not only vacuum seal foods like meats, cheeses, fish etc, but I can also seal food items that could easily be crushed like cookies or chips.


The machine itself isn’t the quietest thing ever, but that is never an issue for me. This product does the job and does it well and that’s all that matters to me. I have been a sealing fool I actually went through my entire freezer and sealed products that I had in different packaging. One of the things I really enjoy is having all of your food sealed because then it looks nice and uniform in your freezer and you can actually fit more in there when you don’t have the big bulky packaging on it any longer.
This VonShef Food Sealer System would be great for anyone from a single person such as me to a large family! If you want to save your food you need this food sealer system. Get yours below:

Review: PB2 and PB2 with Chocolate


I recently got the chance to try out the PB2 and PB2 with Chocolate, which is a powdered Peanut Butter that you add water to, then it turns in to the standard Peanut Butter consistency. This product tastes absolutely amazing, and best of all it lasts a VERY long time.

The regular PB2 tastes great, it doesn't have the sweet taste that other peanut butters are that you may be used to. It has more of a toasted nut flavor without the sweetness, so it's a little bit different. I actually prefer this one to other peanut butters because of the fact that it isn't too sweet. I didn't like Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches because they were too sweet for me, but with this PB2, it tastes much better because it's not sickeningly sweet. 

The PB2 with Chocolate is even better, this is actually one of my most favorite snacks! It's so bad, but I love mixing a little of this up here and there and just eating it on  a piece of toast or a cracker, it tastes like absolute heaven! I also appreciate the fact that these peanut butters are all natural, there are no crazy chemicals added.

Review: Ozera Silicone Breakfast Egg Mold Ring

If you have kids, you definitely need the Ozera Silicone Breakfast Egg Mold Ring set in your life. They are cute molds made of 100% food grade silicone that transform boring eggs into fun works of art for all ages. 

What are the features?
  • Made of 100% food grade silicone
  • Dishwasher safe & BPA free
  • Withstands temperatures from -20 degrees F to 450 degrees F
  • Easy to clean
These Ozera Silicone Breakfast Egg Mold Rings are so easy to use, I simply added a little oil to my pan, mixed up my eggs and poured them in. I personally don't like runny yolks so I beat my eggs together. The point of these rings however is to put the whole yolks in the circles (eyes, or where the sun is) and it will look even better! I poured my egg mixture into this mold and let it cook away. These are so much fun anyone would love having eggs in fun designs to brighten up their morning, best of all you can throw them in your dish washer and they are ready to go for the next day.
