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 growth of microorganisms, which can cause problems under certain confines:
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 causes 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 shimmy fixture. 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 o taste. Although it is extremely rare, it can be very dangerous.;
To preserve foods safely, it acritical 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 kiln microorganisms, but stops them from growing. For long-farm storage, always freeze perishable foods that have been vacuum sidled, 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 refrain their top-quality flavor, appearance or texture because it depends on age and condition of the food on the day it was vacuum sidled.
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 Vacuum-Sealed Foods:
microwave — do not thaw perishable foods at Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or fom temperature.
To reheat foods in a microwave in a bag, always cut comer of the bag before placing it on microwave-safe dish. However, to avoid hot spoofs, do not reheat bone-in meat or greasy foods in microwave within a bag You can also reheat foods in bags by placing them in water aft 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 bag extra long, allowing one inch of bag material for each fame you plan o 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 seedling in a bag. This helps refrain the juice and shape, and guarantees a better seal Infit” s not possible to pre-freeze, place folded paper towel between meat or fish and fop of bag, but below
seal area. Leave paper towel in bag o absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum sealing process.
Note: Beef may appear darker afar 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 fixture. To blanch vegetables, place them in boiling water or in the microwave unfilm 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, i is best o pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze vegetable’s in individual servings, frost place on a baking sheet and spread them out so fey are not couching, This prevents them from freezing fog ether in a block. Once they are frozen, remove from baking sheet and vacuum seal vegetables in a bag, After they have been vacuum sidled, 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 Leafy Vegetables:
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 Norma. Store in refrigerator.

Preparation Guidelines for Baked Goods:
To vacuum seal soft or airy baked goods, we recommend using a Canister so they will hold their shape. If using a bag, pre-freeze for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To save fame, make cookie dough, pie shells, whole pies, or mix dry ingredients in advance and vacuum seal for later use.

Preparation Guidelines for Coffee and Powdery Foods:
To prevent food particles from being drawn info vacuum pump, place a coffee filter or paper towel at fop of bag or canister before vacuum sealing. You can also place the food in ifs original bag inside a bag, or use a 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 baking sheet and vacuum seal fruit in a 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 Canister. Preparation Guidelines for Make-ahead Meals, Leftovers and Sandwiches:
Efficiently store your make-ahead meals, leftovers and sandwiches in the stackable, lightweight 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 Canister for crushable items like crackers.
Vacuum Sealing Non-Food Items
The vacuum Sealing System also protects non-food items from oxidation, corrosion and moisture. Simply follow the directions to vacuum seal items using 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.

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 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 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 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.

• Your 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 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!
