Notes on Storing Food

Vacuum sealing, i.e. vacuuming air out of the packaging, is a common method of prolonging the storage life of food. With the purchase of the PC-VK 1080 you have chosen a product that allows for the fast and convenient use of airtight packaging.

Due to oxygen in the air, food may easily lose its fresh flavor and quality.

Airtight packaging accommodates for that. Approx. 90% of the air will be removed from the sealing bag. For that reason the storage life of vacuum-sealed food is prolonged five fold in comparison to traditional storage methods. Furthermore, freshness and flavor of the food are retained for a longer time.

That allows you to portion and pack a variety of food and ready meals as desired.

Even hard food, such as nuts or beans, as well as non-food items that need to be protected from humidity, may be sealed. Not to forget coins or silver jewelry, or clothes and matches for the next boat trip.

The following regulations and notes will help you, especially if you have never used a vacuum sealer before.

• Wash your hands and clean the accessories beforehand.
• The sealing bag should be approx. 8 cm longer than the items to be sealed.
• Do you have loose items, such as herbs, and want to cut and reseal the bag? Calculate extra material of approx. 2 cm.
• Calculate another extra 5 cm, if you want to freeze the items afterwards, because aqueous liquids might expand when subjected to low temperature.
• Only use textured foils for creating a vacuum. Such as ribbed, honey-comb or diamond texture.
• Keep the area around the sealing seam dry and clean. Avoid creasing. The seam at these spots might otherwise become permeable!
• The appliance features a short-time duty and needs to cool down one minute before sealing the next bag.
• When peeled beforehand, fruits and vegetables last longer.

• Cabbage, such as broccoli and cauliflower, must be blanched beforehand, as they release gas when inside the packaging.

• Different items, such as meat, may contain humidity. Place such items together with a kitchen paper towel inside the bag.

• If sharp edges are likely to damage the bag (e.g. bones), wrap such items in kitchen paper beforehand.
• Liquids in the bag may only be sealed but not vacuum-sealed, because liquid could be sucked in. For that, squeeze out the air first.
• Liquids could be sucked in by the vacuum pump. When sealing liquids, use the SEAL function only.
• Once food has been packaged, it is to be frozen or stored at a cool place.
• Use waxed or greaseproof paper to separate items that are likely to stick to each other when frozen.
• Place food, that is to be frozen, into the freezer immediately after it has been packaged. If necessary, use shock-freeze function.
• Do you want to freeze liquid food, such as soup, in a vacuum bag? Freeze the liquid inside a bow. Then remove the bowl and seal the frozen item inside a bag.
• Do you want to re-open the bag again? Use scissors to cut along the sealing seam.
• You may heat the bags in a pot. But do not exceed temperatures of 90°C .
• If you want to heat the bags inside the microwave, please note:
• Most liquids expand when being heated. Use a folk to pierce the bag beforehand.
• Place the bag into a microwave-safe bowl or container.
• Heat the bag, using a maximum of 50% microwave power.
• Only heat the bag to low or medium temperature.
• Never heat using grill or convection function.

- Dispose of bags that were used for storing raw meat, fish or greasy stuff. You may wash other bags by hand and re-use.

Bags are available in sizes of 22 x 30 cm or 28 x 40 cm.
