Serve it up with Seal-a-Meal

The way the price of food is sky-rocketing these days, some of the most-appreciated products on the market are those that keep food fresher longer. The Holmes Group, Milford, Mass., has introduced a pair of vacuum food sealers with some welcome new options.

The Rival Seal-a-Meal Cord/Cordless Vacuum Food Sealer ($99.99) is the first appliance of its sort to feature operation with or without a cord. It can seal 25 custom food bags and 50 pre-cut bags on one battery charge. It sports the unique Lock'n Seal nozzle system with a drip tray that conveniently holds the bag in place during sealing. It also has a built-in bag roller, accessory port, low-battery indicator, and Microban antimicrobial product protection.

Another valued addition to this product line is the Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Food Sealer with Soft Seal Vacuum Control ($69.99). This machine has a control setting to seal delicate foods, such as muffins or cookies, without crushing them. It also has the Lock 'n Seal nozzle system, bag roller, accessory port, one-touch vacuum and seal buttons, and Microban protection.

Both of these handy products are available in white, black, or silver/ metallic, and each comes complete with a starter bag kit and the Seal-a-Meal Smart Guide to Vacuum Food Storage. Visit www.sealameal.com for more information about these kitchen helpers.
