I finally upgraded to a chamber vac sealer after my Anova vac sealer gave up the ghost and would seal anymore for the 3rd time. Went with the VacMaster VP95 and it came in yesterday.

Looking for tips/tricks on creative ways to use them besides just vacuum sealing. Anyone have fave marinade recipes they use with their sealers?

No marinade, but I sometimes use it to vacuum seal mason jars with crushable things such as cookies, to extend their life a bit.

Not specific to the chamber vac, but a couple years ago someone turned me on to lacto fermenting in vac bags. Just weigh your veggies, put in the bag, add 2.5-3% salt, and seal. You don't have to work them like a typical ferment to generate a brine, or worry about any air getting onto any floaters and ruining the batch. The vacuum takes care of it.

In a couple days you can take the CO2 head off if you want or need to due to bag inflation.

I found this too, awesome with all the summer pepper in the garden

This is a great suggestion! I just made my first batch of lacto fermented hot sauce and can see how this would be way easier than dealing with the floaters in a mason jar.
