VACUUM SEALING GUIDELINES

FOOD STORAGE & SAFETYFor best results in extending the life of foods, it is important to vacuum package foods that are fresh. Once food has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging may only slow the deterioration process.Vacuum sealing cannot prevent the growth of mold. Other disease-causing microorganisms can still grow in low oxygen environments and may require further measures to be eliminated.IMPORTANT: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging.FOOD PREPARATION HINTS AND TIPS FOR AIR-TIGHT VACUUM SEALINGCooking. Thawing and Reheating: Simmering in a vacuum bag helps food retain its flavor and it helps with the dean up as wellNo dirty saucepans! When reheating foods in the microwave using your vacuum bags, always puncture open the bag to allow hot air to escape. You can also reheat foods in the vacuum bags by placing them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C).IMPORTANT: Always thaw foods in either a refrigerator or microwave — do not thaw perishable foods at corn temperature.PREPARATION HINTS FOR MEAT AND FISH :Try pre-freezing meats and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. This helps retain the juices and shape. and provides for a better seal.If you can’t, place a folded paper towel between the food and the top of the bag, but below the seal area. Leave the paper towel in the bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during the vacuum packaging process.PREPARATION HINTS FOR CHEESES:Vacuum package cheeses after each use. If you make your bag just a little longer than needed, you can re-seal the bag after each use.IMPORTANT: Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria. soft cheeses should never be vacuum packaged.PREPARATION GUIDELINES FOR VEGETABLES :Blanching is a process that should be done before vacuum packaging vegetables. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color, and texture. To blanch vegetables, place them in simmering water or in a microwave until they are cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times can range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and peas, 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini, or broccoli, give your carrots about 5 minutes, and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse the vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process.NOTE: All vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage. cauliflower, kale, turnips, etc.) naturally emit gases, during storage. Therefore, after blanching, it’s best if they’re stored in the freezer.More on Vegetables :Vegetables are a great candidate for portion control. When storing vegetables. try pre-freezing them for 1 to 2 hours. then separate them Into meal portions within your vacuum bags. Alter the have been vacuum packaged, return thorn to the freezer.IMPORTANT: Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria. fresh mushrooms, onions, and garlic should never be vacuum packaged.PREPARATION HINTS FOR POWDERY FOODS :When vacuum packaging powdery items like flour, it’s best to use their original packaging inside of the vacuum bags. Otherwise, the fine powder could get sucked into the machine and cause enough damage to shorten the life of the sealer.PREPARATION HINTS FOR LIQUIDS :Before you vacuum package liquid such as soup stock, pre-freeze them in a casserole dish, loaf pan, or Ice cube tray until solid. Remove the frozen liquid from the pan and vacuum package in the vacuum bags. You can then stack it in the freezer. When you ro ready to use, just cut a corner of the bag and place it in either a microwave dish or drop it into the water at a low simmer below 170*F (75″C).
