I Left Food In A Vacuum Sealer For 30 Days... 

Previous smoothie king employee, from personal experience and from a few knowledge holders about bananas....that slimy rubbery looking banana is still good. When it looks like that, its the sugars in the fruit coming forth compared to them staying more dormant when you get a ripe fruit. Those slimy bananas are very very good for smoothie making if you want a sweet banana smoothie without using any sugar. :) hope someone finds this and learns a bit more

Couple of tips. Some foods are not supposed to be vacuum sealed because they release a gas that might compromise the integrity of the seal. Bananas are one of them. You can vacuum seal bread (and possibly chips) without destroying it/them if you have a machine with a pulse function. It allows you to choose how much you want to vacuum the bag. Vacuum sealing meat is most useful for freezing, to prevent freezer burn.

"I have a vacuum sealer, let's see if it keeps food fresh" Proceeds to put items in the bags that have no use in a vacuum bag like long lasting crackers and chips and squishy items like bread, bagels and banana/

“i’m not gonna swallow it-but it tastes good”😂😂 i’m not sure how i found this dude but i love the content!!

I laugh so hard at what the the bananas were looking like and I also gagged but still funny.

I'm glad they haven't invented smellovision. The sight, sound and the thought is enough.

Chubby Emu did a video about a guy that took a sip of rancid coconut water that had sat on his counter for a few weeks. Despite spitting it out and rising his mouth, he croaked. No way I'm going anywhere near a piece of fruit that's more than a week old.

Uncooked eggs in a shell don't go bad in 30 days, but if they are out of the store they probably will be. because sometimes the out of the store eggs are already bad when you buy them. Also you should have done the flouting test with the eggs. For the rest good video

Hey thanks a lot for making this video because I was thinking about getting some vacuum sealers and I was wondering how long the food was going to last for. It was fun watching your facial expressions too.

the flaccid banana is cursed

Peel bananas from the other end. You're welcome.

If you have unwashed chicken eggs they can last 30 days without even being in the fridge. I have my own chickens and just leave the eggs on my counter top.

Put the eggs in water next time, if the are fresh its gonna sink to the botton, if the are fresh/old its gonna be in the middle of the water. If the are gonna float to the top its not fresh and not gonna be eaten

Your train of thought is a peculiar yet brilliant thing to watch. May that be not understanding how a toaster works, storing milk for far too long or vacuum sealing a banana...you just have to watch

“It smells like something has died” yes, that’s dead meat lmao.

I use a vacuum sealer all the time on a lot of stuff. You don't have to do it 100% til the item is smashed to have it work. Just stop before you hear crunching or before the bread starts going flat. I love my vacuum sealer and would stand by it and the results.

Imagine Tyler's reaction when he finds out there's vacuum containers made specifically for fragile foods.

"I'm really paranoid about mold" -> Doesn't eat that specific chip -> Proceeds to eat a chip from the same bag D: That's not how mold works

so tyler clearly has never had graham crackers, and prefers the "stale" ones over the fresh ones lol. never change.

I like how he takes bites out of the food. It looks like he is going to take a small bite, but he actually takes a good sized bite.

Tyler’s reaction towards the vacuum sealed banana is absolutely hysterical 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I swear I love watching you use things in the wrong way with perfect reasoning and things just don't quit go right

Please do another one of these vacuum sealing videos with cheese, hot dogs, and pickles. Also would be cool to see the differences after 60 days, and 90 days.

After he vacuum sealed the egg, idk why, I just really wanted him to immediately smash it

"It smells like something died in here" The chicken: "Am I a joke to you?"

You can manualy stop the vacuum early to prevent crushing and mooshing on most vacuum sealers.

FYI - When you freeze bread you need to freeze it first (put in freezer just until it is frozen through, Then vacuum seal it and put back in freezer. It will remain fresh for months and edible for longer. Important to let the bread thaw completely before breaker seal or it will get really hard.

As soon as Tyler put the zip lock bag with chicken in it up to his face, you can see his fight-or-flight response kick in lmao

Watching that piece of bread come out of the vacuum sealed bag was hilarious. That’s some of the thinnest bread ever. 🤣

points at something that has been dead for months "it smells like something has been dead for months!"

When Tyler smelled the chicken in the ziplock bag I almost shit myself laughing so hard.

Tyler eats vacuum sealed food after 30 days. SteveMRE1989 eats vacuum sealed food after 30 years. Or at times even older than that too.

Tip: To test a raw egg to see if it's still good, just about fill up a glass with cold water and drop your egg in. If it floats = no good. Sinks = good egg.

This was a interesting video, but gives a false view on how good vacuum sealers really are. For an example, when Covid started, we organized our freezer and found raw flap meat and a piece of leftover smoked Brisket, that was 6 years old and they were both still good. We have been vacuum sealing since the late 80's and rarely throw cheese or meat away, no matter how long we have had them. Bread can also last a long time, but it needs to be frozen first, so you don't squeeze it too bad, then vacuum sealed and kept in the freezer. We have saved a fortune from vacuum sealing. There is is a little bit of a learning curve on what to use them for and what not to use them for.

I love that your vacuum sealing things that no one vacuum seals vacuum sealers are meant for meats and vegetables. vacuum sealing meats and vegetables allows the food to be frozen longer then when you use ziplock bags

"I don't know how food works, so lets experiment with it anyhow" LOL

Eggs rarely spoil and can even last up to year if stored properly. By how those eggs looked I doubt anything happened to them after the 30 days

In my experience vacuum sealing is most effective for meats and cheeses, especially if being frozen. I have cuts of meats that are literally years old I vac packed and tossed in my chest freezer that are just fine without any freezer burn or odd flavors. Shelf stable products like breads, crackers and chips... well... those arent really the right use case for vacuum sealing anyway.

I worked on a Butchers for a while, and I gotta say; Vacuum packing different kinds of meat is oddly satisfying.

“I’m not going to swallow it. But. It tastes good.” That’s what she said

Clearly Tyler doesn't understand how oxygen is the leading catalyst in food spoilage. The less oxygen that gets to the food the longer it lasts.

bro called the regular lays chips the "stock" ones. lmaooooo

Also something you should test, if you have stale chips, stick them in the oven on warm for a few mins, once the water evaporates they should be perfectly good again

Tyler:; vacuum sealer bags aren’t really the best ., there are containers that can hold a vacuum and are better designed for freshness

Vacuum sealing prevents aerobic microbes from growing. If you want it to be effective at room temperature, you need to first boil the items to kill most microbes.

I work in a restaurant where we use a vacuum sealer on a daily basis and it does help extend the life on many things compared to regular plastic portion bags some products (like calamari) will last 3-4 days in a portion bag whereas in a vacuum bag they will almost last 2 weeks which makes a huge difference in keeping product fresh

I wanna see if a keurig will brew using different liquids. Like put different liquids in the container your supposed to put water in. I've always wondered that

For bread and chips, you’re supposed to use the vacuum only button to be able to stop it earlier, then seal it. That way it doesn’t crush them.

Tyler's concentrated face whilst comparing the two methods is the best part of this video 🤔🤣

Leave the grahams 6 months and that moisture you are talking about for the zip lock bags will make them super stale. The vacuum sealed ones will be as fresh as when you sealed them.

the banana probably started dissolving itself with the enzymes in it. pretty much all fruit have enzymes that decompose themselves its only a matter of time. apples specifically need oxygen to start the decomposition so vaccuum sealing them probably stops the enzymes from starting.

When trying to smell putrid meat, I suggest wafting it using your hands like a chemist. I fear that some of the bacteria and mold growing on the meat may enter your nose.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the comments already but some sealers have different modes to account for liquids and delicate items. Your sealer likely doesn't as it destroyed (crushed) the bread, chips, etc. Had you used one with those options things would have gone differently in terms of the crushing of the food at least. (I own 3 or 4 sealers, they can definitely vary). Also, consider that most people are probably using sealers to store food that they then freeze which is where the difference really becomes more important if you are looking for long-term storage (which you mentioned very briefly right at the end).

For the soft stuff, like bagels, you should use a jar and jar sealer attachment for the FoodSaver. That way it removes the air without squishing what you're storing. They also make larger buckets you can use with the FoodSaver for bags of chips. I've used the chip bucket and it works great. A bag of chips opened two months ago are still fresh when you pull them out, and not crushed.

Then there's me, who snacks on a bag of chips I just found that has been in the back of the pantry for 3 and a half years

i like how he changed "a million times more fresh" to a thousand cause a million would be unscientific

Vacuum sealer is great to preserve cooked food. And also freezing it vacuum packed, takes less space in the freezer.

Does he realize bread is like 90% air and the reason it taste like yeast is because you compressed all the yeast in it together? All you did was concentrate the yeast into a thin paper like piece of bread.

The bread an bagel reminds me of when cartoon characters get flattened by a steamroller.

Thanks for the amazing content!! Always love to chill out and watch your videos !!

Some vacuum sealers have a soft setting for stuff like bread so it doesn’t damage it. Results may vary

“I never thought I’d be examining graham crackers so closely” I died 😂😂😭😭😭😂

10 yo tyler:ima be a astronaut Adult tyler:THIS GRAHM CRACKER TASTES FAINTLY DIFFERENT THEN THAT GRAHM CRACKER!!

Hey Tyler! Great idea for a vid, great video, thanks! I just bought a vacuum sealer earlier this year myself, and I'm thrilled with it. I think your next test should maybe be the difference between ziplock freezer bags (or whatever brand) and vacuum sealed bags.....but with things being frozen. I've noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in things I've frozen since I got my sealer. Moister when cooked, almost zero freezer burn, and better overall flavor. Would be a cool test. Anyways, thanks again for the great vids, and cheers from sunny Phoenix, brother! :)

Lol, puts Graham crackers in a vaccum sealed tube, sucks all air, compressing the crackers and removing all moisture.. 30 days later confused.. "They feel thin and dry"

Bro who on this earth keeps chips for longer then 2 day the self control that is needed 😅😅😅

i greatly understand your testing.....but try dehydrating fruits and veggies first.....and freeze your proteins! and if you had no choice would you rather eat stale items or fresh tasting items especially in a survival situation?

The next time that you try this experiment, how about using the vacuum seal containers, instead of the bags, for things like chips that will get destroyed by the air being sucked out of the bags. This past summer, I was moving stuff around in my chest freezer, and set a bag of frozen chicken breast and hot sausages (packaged in their own vacuum sealed bags) on the swing on the nearby screen porch...I forgot about them, only discovering them when I was trying to find "what's that smell?" The sausages had gassed off, so much, that they'd popped their freezer bags, and the chicken breast looked a few days short of popping their own. That smell was so nasty.

As you mentioned at the end. Short term 1 month usage in a fridge or counter is not really where vacuum sealing belongs. Think of it more as 3, 6, 12 months in storage in the freezer or long term dry food storage.

They make a difference if you use them properly/with the proper stuff.

Tyler: this smells like something dead and it's been dead for months Me: like how it literally is... it once was a chicken living and breathing than it died/got killed and it got cut up and sent to the store than some bearded guy bought it and shoved it in bags and forced it to watch the light in the fridge go on and off for a month

Tyler needs to buy a used fridge, for garage experiments.

Fun fact, apples are picked in the fall, and stored in warehouse for up to a year or more. They are stored in oxygen free environment. The apples sleep and stay fresh. So apples you buy right before Apple picking time in the fall are a year old

A vacuum sealed egg looks like the perfect joke gift for a company secret santa 😂😂

Put chips in a small plastic bowl like lunch meat comes in, without the lid. vacuum seal that. They won't get crushed.

I'd love my vacuum sealer! We go to Sam's Club and buy hamburger in bulk divvy it out to 1 pound packages and freeze them. Absolutely no freezer burn and we're eating hamburger that was bought a year ago and that we froze and it's still fresh as a daisy.

Please do a best of Tyler 2021. You videos this year have been great entertainment 👍👍

With chips they kinda do the opposite of vacuum sealing, they displace all the air with nitrogen which keeps the chips fresh and prevents them from getting crushed in shipping. A video where you try to preserve food in different gasses would be cool

He should get a fridge/freezer for the garage just to use for experiments like this.

Pointing at a piece of dead chicken "This smells like something dead"

Tyler says I'm worried about mold then proceeds to eat apples with his gloved hands that were just touching moldy apples lol

How sharp can you make a flathead screwdriver? Would be an interesting vid

Graham crackers last in the cupboard quite a while before they start going stale, so that one might not have been a great test. Another great accessory is they have a 9" square dish with a vacuum lid that you use to marinate meat. Put chicken in it for 30 minutes in the dish under vacuum with teriyaki sauce will get the flavor deep into the chicken. The vacuum opens the pores of the meat and sucks the marinade inside the meat.

This test is invalid because there were no pickles involved 🤣🤣

22:09 he is now an expert on the smell of salmonella.

I would really like to see this mans fridge, just to see all the weird shit it has in it 😂

You are entertaining to watch (when I'm not screaming at the TV of how completely wrong you're going about something) but man, you need a wife. Please choose one with a little more common sense, though!! Maybe she can keep you from making a fool of yourself about products you don't know anything about. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

You've definitely gotta repeat this test with things in the freezer. At least then you shouldn't see anything completely disgusting

Muriatic acid in jars for 30 days. You will need a mask for sure when opening them up but I guarantee almost everything will dissolve completely. I’ve heard stories of pop cans dissolving in this stuff.

When I vacuum seal a extra biscuit from a restaurant I always cut a strip of cardboard long enough to wrap around the outside of the biscuit and it always seals good no squishing.

"I'm worried about mold." >>continues to stick two 30 day old chips that taste off into his mouth because potatoes can't go bad. Edit: one of the most important things I learnt during my studies to become a butcher is that just because something might still *look* good to eat, does not mean it still is. The risk is not worth the botulism people.

Every time I see your upload I get excited. Never a boring video. Keep it up! Love your content. 🔥

Your reaction to the banana out of the vacuum sealed bag was golden! 🤣🤣

I wonder how often he gets food stuck in that beard.

Grabs moldy apple slices with gloves; then uses same gloves to grab other apple slices that he then chews.... yeah.... good one there....

For the more delicate items like bread and chips you can use manual or pulse mode on the vacuum sealer and control how much air gets sucked out and how tight it is in order to seal it properly to not ruin the food. Should have done the water test with the eggs. If they float they are bad.

“I am not gonna swallow it, but it tastes good” Thats what she said (or Tyler about the vacuumed apples) 😅

You would’ve been better off leaving the chips in the orig bags because they were flushed with inert gas. You could’ve put them in a 7.5 mil mylar bag, flushed with inert gas and sealed and they would last years. (At least mine do). If you froze the bread and bagels first, it would’ve hold its shape.

“It’s not bad but…” you definitely just ate an apple using the same gloves you manhandled the moldy apples with 🤢🤮
