Pac, were they folded in the box they came in, I mean across the zipper part? If so, SB has the right of it, the tracks are misaligned.
You probably got left-handed ones. Look for the right-handed ones next time. They'll work better.
I must say Chief, you and Andy are so helpful. The next time I have a problem, I will know right where to go. Straight to hell for even listening or entertaining any thought of listening to either one of you. The two of you are definitely an asset to this forum. Even for a laugh or two. Thank you.
I don't know, Dawg. It stinks, that's for sure.
I bought these large bags with the sole intent to use when I'm brining pork belly and the first two I use have the same problem.
When all else fails, use duct tape. It really is "the Force." It has a dark side and a light side and holds the universe together.
They are on a half sheet pan, Andy.
Been there done that with nothing underneath meat in the fridge.

It is a well known fact that every tool box needs two things....a roll of duct tape and an can of WD-40. If it moves and it's not supposed to move, use the duct tape. If it's supposed to move and doesn't, use the WD-40.When all else fails, use duct tape. It really is "the Force." It has a dark side and a light side and holds the universe together.
Whoa. You can heat seal these? Do you think a Foodsaver would work?
I like this kind of clips:Pac, if you don't have any success mechanically sealing the bag and, as you report, tape isn't working, how about trying to fold over the top of the bag(s) and securing them with several binder clips? I always keep several binder clips in my "tools" drawer in the kitchen for assorted uses. They might do the trick if other solutions fail.
Can't wait to give it a try. I almost picked up a new FS today.
