The plus side, and the minus
Strengths
- Rolls rather than fixed bags: cut to the length the food actually needs
- Stated suitable for sous-vide, microwave-safe and boilable
- Stated compatible with handheld and common bar sealers
Compromises
- No thickness in microns published — the Omtofo publishes 190 µm
- One width only, at 11.8 in (30 cm)
- No temperature rating published for the material
- On Amazon.com the reference opens the German listing, shown as currently unavailable
Rolls, not bags
Two rolls of 11.8 in × 19.7 ft (30 × 600 cm) — about 39 feet of film, cut to whatever length the food needs. A box of fixed bags wastes film on everything smaller than the bag; a roll does not.
What Amazon states
BPA-free and tear-resistant material, suitable for sous-vide, microwave-safe and boilable in a pan of water, and compatible with handheld and common bar sealers.
What it does not state
A thickness in microns, and a temperature rating for the material. The Omtofo rolls in this hub publish 190 µm and a seven-layer construction; thickness is what decides whether a bag survives a bone edge or eighteen hours in a bath.
Buying it in the United States
The Amazon reference behind this page is the same on all six Amazon stores this site reads, but on Amazon.com it opens the German listing (“2 Rollen für Vakuumierer”), shown as currently unavailable. Until it returns, the other rolls and bags on this page are the ones you can actually order — the FoodSaver rolls if your machine is a FoodSaver, the Syntus bags for a desktop sealer.
The compatibility question
Before ordering film of any kind, establish whether your sealer is an external machine or a chamber machine. External sealers need embossed or channelled film to draw air down a channel; a smooth bag simply will not evacuate. It is the single most common reason a box of film goes unused.
What readers want to know
Will these work with my sealer?
Amazon states compatibility with handheld vacuum sealers and common bar sealers. The distinction that matters most in this category is between external sealers, which need embossed or channelled film, and chamber machines, which do not — check which type yours is before ordering anything.
How thick is the film?
No micron figure is published for these rolls. The Omtofo rolls in this hub publish 190 µm across a seven-layer construction; thickness is what decides whether a bag survives a bone or a long bath.
