Guidelines Vacuum Sealing and Food Safety The vacuum sealing process extends the life of foods by removing most of the air from the sealed container, thereby reducing oxidation, which affects nutritional value, flavor and overall quality. Removing air can also inhibit growth of microorganisms, which can cause problems under certain conditions: Mold – Easily identified by its fuzzy characteristic. Mold cannot grow in a low oxygen environment, therefore vacuum sealing can slow the growth of mold.
Food Preparation & Reheating Tips Thawing and Reheating Vacuum-Sealed Foods Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave — do not thaw perishable foods at room temperature. To reheat foods in a microwave in a FoodSaver ® Bag, always cut corner of the bag before placing it on a microwave-safe dish. However, to avoid hot spots, do not reheat bone-in meat or greasy foods in microwave within a FoodSaver ® Bag.
Guidelines Food Preparation & Reheating Tips It is recommended that vegetables are blanched before vacuum sealing. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color and texture. To blanch vegetables, place them in boiling water or in the microwave until they are cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and peas; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli; 5 minutes for carrots; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob.
Food Preparation & Reheating Tips Preparation Guidelines for Fruits: For best results, vacuum seal fruit in a FoodSaver ® Container which protects the shape of berries and soft fruits. Alternatively pre-freeze fruit for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing to help maintain the shape and flavour of food. If storing in the refrigerator, we recommend using a FoodSaver ® Container.
Guidelines Food Preparation & Reheating Tips Preparation Guidelines for Liquids: Using a FoodSaver ® Container is the easiest way to vacuum seal liquids. Pouring liquids into a FoodSaver ® bag, then using Seal only is a quick way to prepare liquids for storage. Alternately pre-freeze liquids until solid, remove from freezer and vacuum packaging in FoodSaver ® Bags. Then return to the freezer.
Vacuum Sealing Non-Food Items The FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System also protects non-food items from oxidation, corrosion and moisture. Simply follow directions to vacuum seal items using FoodSaver ® Bags, Containers and Accessories. Silverware To vacuum seal silver, wrap fork tines in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel, to avoid puncturing bag, and seal as normal. Your silver will be clean, fresh and untarnished right when you need it for your next dinner gathering.
