Recommended Food Vacuum Sealer
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer
FoodSaver makes great vacuum sealers for the kitchen. My preferred vacuum sealer for keeping venison fresh in the freezer is the FoodSaver V2244 Advanced Design Vacuum Sealer. The machine has a small footprint compared to some other models and does everything you need it to do to bag and seal your venison (or other food). It also has the accessory port that lets you hook up things like a jar sealer, which is useful for sealing stuff in jars, for example, seasonings that you want to stay fresh between batches of venison sausage.
You'll like the smaller size and the quality of the FoodSaver versus cheaper brands. When I'm packing a lot of meat for the freezer, this makes the task easier and keeps the food fresher longer and keeps me from worrying about freezer burn.
Packaging your own cuts of meat means you can save on processing costs (assuming you know how to cut your own venison). It makes venison more affordable than ever. You can also store your homemade venison jerky in vacuum sealed bags for extra freshness.
If you do pick up a vacuum sealer, be sure not to forget to buy a variety of bag sizes. The rolls come in several widths and lengths and you should have different sizes for different needs.
