Hello, I see in Volume 2 that a Chamber Vacuum Sealer with the options listed below is recommended. Is there a table top sealer that has all these features? Dual Seal Bars to double the throughput of the machine Double-Seam Sealing Wire Both Above and Below which provides a more secure seal and allows the use of specialized, thicker retort bags Digital Pressure Gauge to seal bags more consistently Programmable Settings for more control and convenience Soft Air Release to protect delicate food from decompression damage External Vacuum Port for use with rigid containers Gas Injection to preserve delicate food under inert gas Cyclone separator to protect the vacuum pump from water and debris in the vacuum line http://ultrasourceusa.com/index.php/equipment/product_category/category/vacuum_chamber_machines http://www.henkelman.com/Equipments/Table-top-models/Table-top-models.html http://us.multivac.com/our-products/chamber-machines/table-top-and-floor-machines/table-top-machines.html http://vacmaster.aryvacmaster.com/cgi/ary.wsc/category.htm?l=Vacuum-Packaging-Machines I know the recommended Gear Guide model is the ARY Vacmaster VP210C, but it doesn't have all these features.

Highly recommend this site. http://fcg-bbq.blogspot.com/

Although I don't know if this is contained in MC, I do know that in Thomas Keller's Under Pressure this exact topic is discussed. In fact, he discusses how one of his employees got the NY Dept. of Health to approve his techniques at Per Se.
