GUIDELINES FOR SUCCESSFUL VACUUM SEALING VACUUM SEALING AND FOOD SAFETY
The vacuum sealing process extends the life of foods by removing most of the air from the sealed container, thereby reducing oxidation, which affects nutritional value, flavor, and overall quality.
Removing air can also inhibit the growth of microorganisms, which can cause problems under certain conditions

Mold – Easily identified by its fuzzy characteristic. Mold cannot grow in a low oxygen environment, therefore vacuum sealing can slow the growth of mold.
Yeast – Results in fermentation, which can be identified by smell and taste. Yeast needs water, sugar and a moderate temperature to grow. It can also survive with or without air. Slowing the growth of yeast requires refrigera­tion while freezing stops it completely.

Bacteria – Results in an unpleasant odor, discoloration, and/or soft or slimy texture. Under the right conditions, anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium Botulinum (the organism that causes Botulism) can grow without air and sometimes cannot be detected by smell or taste. Although it is extremely rare, it can be very dangerous. To preserve foods safely, it is critical that you maintain low temperatures. You can significantly reduce the growth of microorganisms at temperatures of 40 °F (4°C) or below. Freezing at 0° F (-17°C) does not kill microorganisms, but stops them from growing. For long- term storage, always freeze perishable foods that have been vacuum sealed, and keep refrigerated after thawing.

It is important to note that vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for canning and it cannot reverse the deterioration of foods. It can only slow down the changes in quality. It is difficult to predict how long foods will retain their top-quality flavor, appearance, or texture because it depends on the age and condition of the food on the day it is vacuum sealed.
IMPORTANT: Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum sealing.

FOOD PREPARATION AND REHEATING TIPS
Thawing and Reheating VacuumSealed Foods- Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave – do not thaw perishable foods at room temperature. To reheat foods in a microwave in a FoodSaver® Bag, always cut corners of the bag before placing it on a microwave-safe dish. However, to avoid hot spots, do not reheat bone-in meat or greasy foods in the microwave within a FoodSaver® Bag.

You can also reheat foods in FoodSaver® Bags by placing them in water at a low simmer below 170° F (75°C). Preparation Guidelines for Hard Cheeses: To keep cheese fresh, vacuum seal it after each use. Make your FoodSaver® Bag extra long, allowing one inch of bag material for each time you plan to open and reseal in addition to the 3-inch room you normally leave between contents and seal. Simply cut sealed edge and remove cheese. When you’re ready to reseal the cheese, just drop it in bag and reseal.

IMPORTANT: Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, Soft cheeses should never be vacuum sealed. Preparation Guidelines for Meat and Fish:For best results, pre-freeze meat and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing in a FoodSaver® Bag. This helps retain the juice and shape, and guarantees a better seal. If it’s not possible to pre-freeze, place a folded paper towel between meat or fish and top of bag, but below seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum sealing process.

Note : Beef may appear darker after vacuum sealing due to the removal of oxygen. This is not an indication of spoilage. Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables:Vegetables need to be blanched before vacuum sealing. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color and texture. To blanch vegetables, place them in boiling water or in the microwave until they are cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and peas; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli; 5 minutes for carrots; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process. Finally, dry vegetables on a towel before vacuum sealing.

Note: All vegetables (including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally emit gases during storage. Therefore, after blanching, they must be stored in freezer only.
When freezing vegetables, it is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze vegetables in individual servings, first place on a baking sheet and spread them out so they are not touching. This prevents them from freezing together in a block. Once they are frozen, remove from baking sheet and vacuum seal vegetables in a FoodSaver® Bag. After they have been vacuum sealed, return them to the freezer.

IMPORTANT: Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, Fresh mushrooms, onions and garlic should never be vacuum sealed. Preparation Guidelines for Baked Goods:For best results, use a canister to store leafy vegetables. First wash the vegetables, and then dry with a towel or salad spinner. After they are dried, put them in a canister and vacuum seal as normal. Store in refrigerator. Preparation Guidelines for Coffee and Powdery Foods:To prevent food particles from being drawn into vacuum pump, place a coffee filter or paper towel at top of bag or canister before vacuum sealing. You can also place the food in its original bag inside a FoodSaver® Bag, or use a FoodSaver® Universal Lid with the original container to vacuum seal.

Preparation Guidelines for Fruits: When freezing soft fruits or berries, it is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze fruit in individual servings, first place on a baking sheet and spread them out so they are not touching. This prevents them from freezing together in a block. Once they are frozen, remove from the baking sheet and vacuum seal fruit in a FoodSaver® Bag. After they have been vacuum sealed, return them to the freezer. You can vacuum seal portions for baking, or in your favorite combinations for easy fruit salad all year round. If storing in the refrigerator, we recommend using a FoodSaver® Canister.

Preparation Guidelines for Liquids:Before you vacuum seal liquids such as soup stock pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf pan or ice cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum seal in a FoodSaver® Bag. You can stack these “frozen bricks” in your freezer. When you’re ready to use, just cut corner of bag and place in a dish in the microwave or drop into water at a low simmer, below 170° F (75°C).

To vacuum seal non-carbonated bottled liquids, you can use a FoodSaver® Bottle Stopper with the original container. Remember to leave at least one inch of room between contents and bottom of Bottle Stopper. You can re-seal bottles after each use. Preparation Guidelines for Make-ahead Meals, Leftovers and Sandwiches:Effi­ciently store your make-ahead meals, leftovers and sandwiches in the stackable, lightweight FoodSaver® containers. They are microwaveable, top rack dishwasher safe and come with a custom adaptor. The lightweight containers will be ready to head off to the office, to school or the great outdoors whenever you are! Preparation Guidelines for Snack Foods:Your snack foods will maintain their freshness longer when you vacuum seal them. For best results, use a FoodSaver® Canister for crushable items like crackers.

Vacuum Sealing Non-Food Items

The FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System also protects non-food items from oxida­tion, corrosion and moisture. Simply follow the directions to vacuum seal items using FoodSaver® Bags, Canisters and Accessories.

To vacuum seal silver, wrap fork tines in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel, to avoid puncturing bag, and seal as normal. Your silver will be clean, fresh and untarnished right when you need it for your next dinner gathering. Your FoodSaver® Bags are ideal for outdoor excursions. For camping and hiking, keep your matches, maps and food dry and compact. To have fresh water for drinking, simply fill a FoodSaver® Bag with ice, vacuum seal it, and when needed, let the ice pack melt. You can trim the corner off the bag to make a spout for drinking or pouring.

If you’re going sailing or boating, you can vacuum seal your food, extra batteries, memory cards, cash, identification cards, boating license and a dry change of clothes. Just remember to bring scissors or a knife to open the bags when you need them! To keep emergency kits safe and dry, vacuum seal flares, batteries, flashlights, matches, candles, first aid kits, extra food and other necessities. Your emergency items will stay dry and organized in your home, car, boat or RV.
