[pct-l] Vacuum Sealing Issues

[Alan Miller]

So, we are getting pretty good at making and dehydrating meals now.  I
figure now is the time to try vacuum sealing, so I borrowed my parents
vacuum sealer and tried it out on some stir-fry we had made.  Well, of the
eight bags I sealed, 5 of them lost their seals.  I figure it is probably
because the rice is poking holes in the bags.  Has anybody else experienced
this?  Any tricks I should know about or are there any heavier duty bags
out there?  Thanks, Alan
