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.

Preserving food in vacuum bags extends the time the food is kept fresh in storage. SousVide is a cooking technique where the food is cooked slowly at low temperature.

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.

This function works for a variety of different types of containers and jars.

Re-sealing jars with twist-off lid: Put the lid in place, but make sure the lid is NOT turned tightly before the function is started, for the vacuum to be created properly.

To ensure a perfect air-tight seal, use new twist-off lid every time.

Note: when vacuuming Liquids, fill max 1/2 of the container's volume. Do not use hot liquids.

External vacuum

For vacuum sealing bigger containers or bottles that do not fit inside the chamber.
