Homemade Beef Jerky

My vacuum sealer is a food saver. If I put liquid in with the meat won't the liquid be forced out theough where the vacuum part attaches? I.e. won't there be spillage?

Bob they make canning jars and canisters that hook right up to the Foodsaver

OK , now I understand the question.

To do it in a bag you need a manual seal button or Instant seal button. this way you vacuum until the juice starts to get sucked towards the vacuum spout then hit the seal button to stop the vacuum and do the heat seal before it sucks the liquid.. if you don't have such buttons , you use a cannister like MikeT shows.

Having some fun with this thing. After the 1st screwed up batch I have 1 flavor that is perfected. It's a spicy garlic teriyaki. It's nice and spicy. I also made a Jamaican Jerk that is pretty awesome and packs some intense heat and a ton of flavor. The best 44 bucks I've spent. I'm starting to vac seal some batches for ice fishing. I'm using wet marinade with whole meat, top round, cut into thick bacon slices by the local meat market which save alot of prep/headache.
