FoodSaver 1-Gallon Size Bags, 32 Bags

Designed to be used with all Tilia FoodSaver vacuum-packaging machines, the 32 VacLoc bags in this package each hold up to 1 gallon of food. Each bag is 11 inches wide and 14 inches long. The bags' material is a three-layer construction--two plastic layers and an outer layer of nylon--that keeps moist foods moist, dry foods dry, and all foods from leaking odor. For cooking, the bags can go directly into a microwave oven or boiling water. They are resealable, reusable, and dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
