If you want to have fun with the kids, put marshmallows into a FoodSaver canister or mason jar. The bigger the container the better. They squash down to nothing. When pressure is restored they puff right back up to normal. Very dramatic.
Lots of uses for that FoodSaver besides just food.
Hey thanks for the hot-tip CanMan, even having fun with the kids will be neat (since I am the biggest one in our family:)) But we are planning on camping in July and I now want to do our marshmallows in jars for the occassion!!! How cool:p
Thank you, CCCathy

It Is Wonderful, We Are Using Ours Like Crazy. Eddie Will Use It Like There Is No Tomorrow, And Wraps Everything! I Think He Just Likes The Way It Sucks The Air Out Of The Bags And Then Seals It Shut, It Is Really Neat To Watch! You Can Plce The Bags In Boiling Water To Re-heat Food I Like That Too.
You Can Make Homemade Frozen Dinners, Like Cook Enough For 3-4 Meals Eat 1 Serving The Day You Prepare It, And Have 2-3 More Meals Frozen For Later Down The Road, Maybe On Days You Are Too Busy To Cook, Pretty Neat I Think!

You'll see alot more from the
FoodSaver.com website.
Another cool tip is when you have leftovers or want to prepare a dinner ahead of time, put on a plate or dish slighter smaller than the gallon bag, slide the plate into the bag, vacuum seal, and freeze. Very easy to reheat in microwave (just remember to punch a couple holes in the bag for steam release.
