I love Foodsaver and am happy with my machine but I really regret buying these rolls. They are the perfect size for single serving portions so I thought that by sealing 2 at once, I'm not only saving a tiny amount of electricity but also some plastic because the 8" bags are a little too wide. When I hit the vacuum/seal button the machine chugs and chugs, trying to get all the air out of the bags but it never can. So after a while I press the Seal button and the bags reinflate slightly, completely defeating the purpose of using a vacuum system. I've used half of one roll already and on only one occasion did the bag vacuum and seal properly.

This is such a great idea. I had a problem and this solved it. I go salmon fishing in Alaska every summer and we vacuum pack our Sockeye salmon (very yummy). I like to create packages that are about meal size, but I have to be efficient to get it done pretty quickly, so I put 2 filets in each bag. The Portion Pouch Roll allows me to put a filet in each section and seal it in one operation. Then back home, I can just open one filet if that's all I need. No need to repackage and refreeze the second filet. So less work, no waste! And the salmon filets look great in the Portion Pouch Rolls when vacuum sealed!

There's just two of us and I use the food saver bags for just about everything that I freeze and for some things that I refrigerate! The portion pouch roll is great for smaller portions and the perforation part is just what I needed. I was putting corn in small snack bags and freezing two or three bags in each quart foodsaver bag. Now I can put two portions of corn, one on each side of the bag and tear it apart when I need it. That applies to lots of other things that I freeze, especially blueberries. Now I won't have to open more than I need.
Thanks Foodsaver!
Thanks Foodsaver!

I really like the portion pouch concept. Makes a nice small bag for individual servings or small items. For example,. I usually put two chicken breasts in an 8" bag, but when my son comes home I have to defrost 4 chicken breasts, now using portion pouches, I only need to rip the bag in half and defrost one at a time. Great! I have used these to do chicken breasts and 1 pound portions of hamburger, Cost is the same as 11" bags, can't beat it.

My husband and I like to plan ahead in case of emergency. We had bought a large load of rice and wondered how best to protect it after weevils invaded one bag and we had to toss it. I decided to portion out the rice for how much I would normally cook for my family and then poured it into each pouch. It took a half hour of my time and a whole roll of the double pouches, but the rice is secure from those pesky weevils now and the next time I want to cook rice, I just rip off a package, open it up and dump it into the water, no measuring needed.
The only thing that I noticed was that toward the end of the package, there were two partitions that didn't seal very well on one side as the air wasn't sucked out enough. I ended up wasting four bags, but the rest held up well.

The portion control bags sold by food saver offer the best savings and utilization of any of the other food saver bags are roles. They hold even the largest chicken breast that I can get from whole foods. They allow me to store things in single serving size and only fallout as many items as I need. Even though I could use a regular bag/role it seems like a waste of space to only put one chicken breast are one fish fillet into a bag. On many occasions my wife once a chicken breast and I want to fish fillet. I just tear one off of the bag and cook the items. I use the roles and other bags, but the portion bag is my favorite now.

I think you have the same problem sealing as I did before I figured out what the problem was. When you store your machine in the closed and locked position, the two rubber gaskets tend to stick to each other when you open the machine. Make sure each gasket is where it belongs before you try to seal. Once this is done, you should have no more problems.

I thought I was doing something wrong - I couldn't get my machine to pull the air out of the bags. I tried several times, wasted several bags. Come to find out, instead of the usual couple of inches needed to suck out the air and seal properly, you must add an additional 2 to 3 inches. If you don't, the bag wrinkles and won't allow the machine to do it's job. This is very wasteful. Our son and daughter in law had the same problem. We both agree, waste of money and bags - defeats the purpose.

Review 9 for FoodSaver® 11” Portion Pouch Roll
Overall rating
I've had a FoodSaver appliance for the last 22 years at least. It's the best appliance out there for people like myself, a single person, living alone. FoodSaver makes it possible to buy things in bulk, and most recently, using the portion pack bags made short work of a 14-count package of hotdogs, each snug in its own little vacuum bag. The portion pack bags seem less wasteful than making your own and I can see packing meat in one half and a vegetable or side dish in the other for an easy "TV dinner".
Another advantage to the portion pack bags is that they cut the work of vacuum packing in half -- I only had to do 7, rather than all 14 separately.
This is a great product and I will be using these regularly!

Review 10 for FoodSaver® 11” Portion Pouch Roll
Overall rating
I had problems sealing some wet items, I know you need to dry the inside and outside of bad where it is going to be sealed. But, if too much moisture is sucked up by the vacuam process it doesn't seal the bags completly, and you have to cut off enough to try it again, depending on how much spare bag you have left. Only one side sealed but not the other so I tore it into seperate portions, and tried to reseal the side that did not seal. I ended up having to try at least four times, with paper towels inside, but I should have just left in the frezzer until frozen to seal.

Always freeze everything in so called "freezer bags" and everything dries out and gets covered in ice crystals. Now anymore! But I had to learn how to use the "gentle" vacuum feature really quick. We buy a dozen bagels or cider donuts and freeze them in a bag. Not good, Now I can use the foodsaver and freeze them individually. However, I did not stop the machine in time and they are squished and funny looking. Still taste fresh though. Best thing I've ever purchased. Just needed to learn the vacuum feature properly.

This is certainly one of those "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" ideas! You're putting up two foods that you'll eat together; why wouldn't you store them in a side by side bag? You've got an economy bag of chips but want to put them up in smaller portions; of course you'd use a side by side bag! Great product.

I am happy that you now have a smaller size bag-roll size. I have always liked the 6 " size. I have been unable to get them. This is a better size roll for me. It is perfect for freezing vegatables for 1 or 2 people. This will be my favorite size.

It was kind of difficult get chicken breasts into the pouches but extremely convenient for dinners because you can pull out individual chicken breasts instead of trying to thaw 4 frozen together! I also enjoyed tearing the perforated parts :) Overall I think it's a great idea but the pouches also have a place in the foodsaver world... in other words, I don't feel the perforated pouches can replace the standard roll for me anyway. This is because there is such a large variety of items I vacuum seal and not all of them will fit into the pouches.

These bags are perfect for me, I live alone and now I cook extra portions and freeze them separately in the bags...they have saved me a fortune...fast food places are a thing of my past. The bags are pricey and I don't usually re use them, but they are still cost efficient compared to eating out or throwing away spoiled food.

What I like about this product is the convience of two sides. I can put two servings in one side and another two servings in the other. If I need only two servings, just separate and I will have just two. Should I have company and need more then two, take out both and I will have enough for four. I can also put meat in one side and the marinade in the other. They are frozen together and the sauce won't get "lost" in the freezer.

We generally cook large batches and food saver individual portion sizes so we have quick lunches and quick dinners through the week. This cuts the time in half and puts less of a strain on our food saver because we can make two servings at a time. I love it!

I have already used up the first box purchased and am getting ready to place an order for more. This smaller size bag is fantastic for freezing meats used for seasoning, especially if your family only consists of two people. It is also really great for freezing individual portions of leftovers or whatever. I would higly recommend it and now prefer it to the larger bags and even the quart size bags.

I have had a few Foodsavers over the years. My last one was the V3000 series (the upright one). I never did like it. It took forever to make multiple bags and seal them. You have to push the bag so far into the slot to activate the vacuum that I felt a lot of bag was wasted. Same with sealing. You need both hands and more to work it - and it was very noisy. Finally I got sick of it and gave it away. Now I have this little simple thing. Two buttons. Great seal. Quiet operation and no pushing things into a slot. You choose where the edge of the bag goes! Used less counter space too!
