Why vacuum pack?

Vaccuum packaging is the perfect way to preserve your favourite food dry or moist, extend its shelf life and to protect it from dehydration and freezer burn. It's also Ideal for sous-vide cooking, portion control, etc.

Warning: Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Perishable foods still

need to be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging.

Tips and Hints for vaccum packaging

• Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling food.
• Use clean equipment and utensils.
We recommend pre-freezing for
- liquids, e.g. soups, sauces. Pour the liquid into the vacuum bag and place it upright into the freezer.
Once the liquid is frozen, you can vaccum seal the bag. You can also freeze the liquid in an ice cube tray and then transfer to the vacuum bag.
- berries, e.g. raspberries, blueberries, etc.
- meat and fish (for approx. 1 – 2 hrs) to retain its shape and juices
- When vacuum packaging vegetables, cooking or steaming is recommend beforehand.
Note: All Vegetables incl. broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips emit gases during storage, therefore store them in the freezer.
- Only vacuum pack freshly cooked food and vegetables after they have cooled down.
- When vacuum packaging powdery food like flour, it's best to use their original packing inside the vacuum bag. As the fine powder could get sucked into the appliance and could cause damage to the appliance.

Some foods contain anaerobic bacteria, which can grow without the presence of air. Within a

vacuum sealed pouch, with reduced oxygen, these bacteria will grow and may pose a risk to your health.

Therefore, do not vacuum seal:

• raw mushrooms
• garlic
• soft cheeses (blue cheese, brie, camembert, ricotta and other soft and unpasteurized cheeses)

touch the appliance during and/or immediately after operation.
