I buy fresh shrimp in bulk and freeze them using the Zip Vac Storage system and they keep as fresh as the day they were caught.

It is great for taking fishing trips because it is so easy to pack and you always have the ability to vacuum pack you fish to preserve the freshness.

Comments about CTI Industries (ZipVac) ZipVac Starter Kit Portable Food Storage System:
I liked the concept when I saw it advertised, but the electric pump is just too unwieldly and unnecessary. The manual pump does the job just fine. Ziploc is now offering something like this. However, if you are bagging more than 10 or 20 lbs. worth of meat, then the electric pump may be for you. If you're looking to store two or three bags worth of meat, the manual pump works great, and it's much easier to clean.
Also when using this product, be sure to keep the valve in contact with the opposing side of the bag so the liquid can make a temporary seal while you're closing the valve. Not doing so caused me some frustration.
Another problem, when charging the electric pump, the indicator light turns green after a few minutes. Don't be fooled. You'll only get a bag or two worth of charge from it. It need to stay on the outlet for at least five hours. Unfortunately, unlike a lot of charging devices these days, you have to take it off after twelve hours or it becomes unsafe. I can't see myself actually using it from now on.

Comments about CTI Industries (ZipVac) ZipVac Starter Kit Portable Food Storage System:
I have used the Zip Vac vacuum system to marinate meats and fish before cooking. By placing the marinade and food under vacuum seems to improve the marinating process which means tastier food with better texture. It is easy to use. I also use the Zip Vac system to store leftover food. I have also packaged water sensitive items under vacuum for storage.

I have several Zip Vac bags of walleye and perch fillets in my freezer. This product is just great, no more freezer burn. I will be using it again and again.

Finally a price point where I would purchase this type of product. Works like the $250 models and you can use the bags over and over. Good quality too.
