SEALING BASICS
Vacuum sealing is an easy and convenient way to
help preserve the freshness of your food. Vacuum
sealing is not intended to replace refrigeration or
freezing. Food that normally requires refrigeration
(below degrees) or freezing (below - degrees)
even when vacuum sealed should still be
refrigerated or frozen. Vacuum sealing will help
retain your food’s flavour, colour and texture. It may
not stop the growth of certain kinds of bacteria
and yeast fermentation. Vacuum sealing is not a
substitute for heat preserving or canning.
Do not serve or consume food that has an odour,
texture or appearance of food that has gone bad.
Microwaving and Simmering
The VacuumFresh bags and rolls are microwave
and simmer safe. To microwave, cut the bag on
one corner so that the steam can escape and place
directly into the microwave. To simmer, place bag
into the saucepan of simmering water with the top
of the bag out of the water for easy removal.
Vacuum seal can not restore or revive
food that is past its prime.
NOTE
Freezing
Vacuum sealing helps prevent freezer burn by
removing the air in the bag.
Placement (storage)
The back of a freezer has a more constant
temperature than other areas near the door of
a freezer. Delicate foods which may thaw easily
should be kept at the back of the freezer.
Thawing food
For the best results, thaw frozen foods in a
refrigerator. Never thaw raw meats, fish, dairy
or poultry at room temperature. Thawing by
microwave may aect the texture of foods. If
thawing by microwave, begin cooking process
immediately after thawing, to prevent bacteria
growth.
Once bags or rolls are used in the
microwave or cooked in a pot, they
should not be re-used.
NOTE
Soups and Sauces
To vacuum seal soups and sauces, pour liquid in
a bag and leave at least cm of space at the top of
the bag. Do not vacuum seal at this point. Place
filled bag up right in the freezer and allow liquid
to freeze. Remove frozen bag and then proceed to
vacuum seal it.
If you only require small amounts of
stock or other liquids, you can pre-freeze
in ice cube trays and use as much or as
little as you wish. Try vacuum sealing ice
cubes in advance to save time and freezer
burn.
NOTE
Fruit
For best results many fruits can be frozen before
vacuum sealing. Wash and dry the fruit. Then
spread on a tray or baking sheet. Place the cooking
sheet in the freezer for about hours, then transfer
fruit to a vacuum sealer bag and vacuum seal.
