So I’ve got the kit for my sous-vide cooking and I am the (proud) owner of a LAVA V1.00 Premium vacuum sealer. It’s cost me a fair bit of money, so it better makes itself useful around the house.
Here are a few ideas:
- I cycle a lot, including my daily commute to work. Bicycle Panniers a re tough place for anything, as keys, spare clothes and essential tools all grind against anything else in the bag. I want to have a decent first aid kit with me, that survives the inevitable sand and grit influx into the bag. Vacuum sealed, the first aid kit becomes rigid, dust & waterproof and hard wearing.
- Bicycle repair kit. I’ve tried to carry a spare inner tube before, but the cardboard box in which they are sold barely survives a couple of days and if that doesn’t finish the tube off, then the constant grinding of sand and grit will chafe it to pieces by the time you need to use it. Vacuum seal ahoy!
- I’m a lover of warm winter clothes, in particular high quality wools. Unfortunately the local moth population has also figured out how tasty my jumpers are. I’m no fan of saturating my living room with moth poison, so I figured the best way of keeping my winter outfit in good shape is to seal it in.
- Love computers, help people out repairing stuff and and always have a box of untidy, unwieldy cables using up valuable space. You’ve guessed it, shrink’em down.
