FoodSaver 12ct Gallon Zipper Bags for Use with FoodSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealer

A: Hello Lulu, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the FoodSaver 12 ct Gallon Zipper Bags. Generally you can’t rely on them for traditional sous vide cooking at higher temperatures, because they aren’t specifically designed or rated for sustained heat in a water bath, regular vacuum‑style zipper bags may weaken, leak, or degrade over time when exposed to sous vide temperatures if they’re not made for that purpose. We would like to have a chance to assist you further, that is why we strongly encourage you to reach out to us directly via our official website on the "Contact Us" page or calling us at 1-877-777-8042. Thank you! —FoodSaver Consumer Care
