THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER! THANKS FOR ENTERING!
Have you ever checked out ChefsCatalog.com? They have a great selection of kitchen products with all the best brands a foodie like me could ever want! My husband purchased a Kitchen Aid Slow Cooker from chefscatalog.com a few years ago and I couldn’t be happier with it.
I love getting Chefs Catalog in the mail! When I thumb through it on the couch, I’m like a kid in a candy shop! If you would like a Chefs Catalog, you can request a catalog HERE. Then you can mark all the things you want for Christmas in the catalog and conveniently place it on your husband’s pillow. Just like Ralphie did in the movie A Christmas Story! (Remember that one? “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!”)
I am so excited! Thanks to Chefs Catalog, I have a Deni Vacuum Sealer valued at $129.99 to give away to one of my readers! I’m so happy for you! Check out this vacuum sealer. Isn’t she a beauty?!
(photo from Deni.com)
The Deni Vacuum Sealer is perfect for preserving your food and saving money. Simply buy your fresh meat on sale, vacuum seal the meat in the right portions to suit your family, throw it in the freezer, and it stays fresh for months without freezer burn. You’ll be amazed at how much you can save at the grocery store! And don’t forget…more food in your freezer means less trips to the grocery store!
Other handy uses for vacuum sealers:
* Vacuum seal silver and collectibles to keep them from tarnishing.
* Fill a bag about 2/3 full with water, seal the end (don’t vacuum). Freeze the bag and use for ice in the cooler, or ice packs for sports injuries.
This vacuum sealer is commercial-quality, yet light weight. You don’t have to worry about carrying it from one place to another. Do you want to see how it works? Check out my video!
This vacuum sealer includes:
Two different size 10 ft. bag rolls (8.6″ wide and 11″ wide)
5 bags (8.6″ x 12″)
5 bags (11″ x 12″)
After testing out this vacuum sealer, I give it two thumbs up! It’s easy to use and works great. It’s going to come in real handy in my house!
So what do you think? Is this something you can use? Would you like to win the Deni Vacuum Sealer?

I love to cook in bulk,so I would use this handy gadget to help preserve the meals that I cook-taco meat, spaghetti, chicken cordon bleu, protein muffins, chicken pot pie, cookie dough, etc.
I love to freeze fresh herbs I have been growing. To be able to vacuum seal them would be amazing!
As a single person I always have leftovers. This would be a great way to keep my leftovers tucked away in the freezer for another night.

I would most likely use it for meat & rhubarb, but I’m sure many other things would end up in the bags also. Very cool!

We get our meat in bulk so I would seal things like ground beef and pork chops.
I would use it on ground beef and chicken breasts. No more freezer burn!
OMG! I would use this for the vegetables in my garden. I tell myself every year that I am going to buy one so that when I freeze the food it doesn’t get freezer burn. But, I never seem to have the extra moola. What a GREAT giveaway and review.

I would use this to seal up the fish my husband brings home from the lake. He always catches a ton and this would make it much easier for us to share with friends and family!
I buy in bulk for cost savings so a lot of meat, fish and cheese. I hear you can use it for marinating meat too. I wonder how that works.

I NEED THIS! My vac sealer stopped doing the vacuum thing (still seals - just doesn’t suck out air) and I really miss it. My favorite thing to do with it was buy large pkgs of chicken breasts and seal them into packages of 1 or 2. Saved money - and perfect way to defrost just enough for me.

We’d use it on meats. Since I try to use it sparingly, sometimes it stays frozen a while, and gets a little frosty… yuck.
