You have this huge (long) bag with a small content in the bottom. Why not just cut 5" or so off the top of the bag so it will both fit in the machine better and make a more compact package to store? 80% of that bag is unused. In fact, you could use the top half of the bag that you cut off and use it as another bag, saving even more money.
Hi G-Whiz, youur response is intuitive and was my first response as well when I learned how to use these machines. The fact is that while we could have used a slightly smaller bag this is the amount of bag called for by the instructions. If you cut it too close you risk the bag not sealing properly. The machines do require more than simply sizing it to the amount of food you are sealing. Thanks for asking, I know this answer may not satisfy but as you research more you will find others doing the same.
Food prepared with the sous vide method are delicious without the effects of the microwave turning food to rubber. And when sealed in the Avid Armor it's as simple as it gets - take food from the freezer and drop it in the water, remove from the bag when temp is reached and done. Enjoy!

Nice video. How does the sous vide taste after spending time in the freezer?
