Hello Dave, Thanks for asking. The FoodSaver&reg; Easy Fill 1 Quart Vacuum Sealer Bags are designed to work with FoodSaver vacuum sealing systems for simple, mess-free sealing. After placing your food into the bag, insert the open edge into your FoodSaver machine&rsquo;s vacuum channel and close the lid securely. Select the Vacuum &amp; Seal function, and the machine will remove the air and create an airtight seal. Be sure the top of the bag is clean and dry and that the opening lies flat to ensure proper vacuuming and sealing. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us at https://www.foodsaver.com/support/contact-us, 1-877-777-8042, or through LiveChat. Our team is available Mon.-Fri. 9am-5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! &mdash;FoodSaver Consumer Care

<h2 class="bvseo-question">
How do you prevent fluid from the food being packed from wicking up to the machine preventing the sealing function from working? Food containers are a much better match that bags. Where are the 5 cup storage containers?
