3.1 Product Introduction

This product uses the so-called "bell" vacuum technology capable of reaching up to 99.9% vacuum, a much higher value than that of traditional vacuum machines.

The more air that is extracted inside the bag or container, the less oxidation the food will undergo.

The almost total extraction (up to 99.9%) of the air will therefore be able to guarantee the preservation of the food for a longer period than traditional vacuum machines and to prepare the food for vacuum cooking in an optimal way.

This technology also makes it easy to preserve liquid foods such as soups, marinated foods, in bags or containers.

You will find on this product additional innovative functions that are not feasible with traditional vacuum sealers, such as fast marinating that will allow you to save a lot of time, fast preparation of pickles, vacuum packing in containers useful for reducing food waste, the cold extraction technique for the preparation of infusions and many others.

The benefits with SousVide cooking are many:

• Flavour and texture remain unaltered.
• Nutrients and moist is kept in the food.
• No need for oils or fats for cooking.

Set Food type and Bag type depending on the food that you intend to vacuum seal and the bag used.

In case of Liquids (such as soups, etc) fill the bag with Max 1/3 of the bag's volume.

Risk of liquid spillage from the bag.

Do not use hot liquids.

Seal
