Do they still make the “double seal” zip lock bags? That seems easier than breaking out the vacuum sealer for one bag or two bags.

They do, but it's less about the zipper seal and more about the thin seams around the edges for super long sous vides.
I had a heavy duty ziplock fail on a long prime rib cook once. I won't do that again. And my vacuum sealer lives in my pantry at arms reach, so no problem.
But yes, for 6 minute asparagus, 20 minute salmon, or any other cook just for the day, I go ziplock!
