    Overpressure can otherwise develop and cause the va- cuum bag to burst. If bags other than V-ZUG vacuum bags are used for sous-vide cooking, these could be- come soft, the sealing seam may not hold or may melt. Only use other bags for vacuum sealing and adjust the sealing time to the material of the bag.
