The benefits of the Vac
2
Pac are endless.
Vac
2
Pac will save you time by allowing you
to prepare meals in advance. It will save you
money by allowing you to keep food fresh and
buy in bulk. It will even save you space since
vacuumed sealed items take up less space
than conventional storage.
We hope you enjoy all of the wonderful
benefits the Breville Vac
2
Pac has to offer…
The Breville Vac
2
Pac is a simple and effective
way to extend the shelf life of your food. It’s
not only compact, but it also offers powerful
vacuum sealing. Vac
2
Pac uses special zipper-
top bags so you can easily access stored items
without having to cut open the bag every time.
This feature also enables the bags to be used
up to 20 times, which reduces waste and
saves you money.
Do not reuse Vac
2
Pac bags after using with
raw meat, fish or poultry or after Vac
2
Pac
bag has been heated, ie. microwave or
simmer.
Note
The Vac
2
Pac works by creating a small hole
in the bag and then vacuuming out the air
from that hole. Once the air is removed, the
Vac
2
Pac automatically creates a heat seal
ring around the hole to prevent air from re-
entering.
You can Vac
2
Pac just about anything you want
to keep fresh for longer. The Vac
2
Pac was
designed first and foremost for solid foods;
however, it also does a great job preserving
other valuable items, from silver (helps prevent
tarnishing) to silks (helps prevent pests).
