2.4 About vacuum sealing foods
This vacuum sealer system offers a safe, efficient, cost-effective way to preserve the fresh
taste and nutritional benefits of a wide variety of foods. The following guideline and tips will
help you get the most out of your new vacuum sealer:
We recommend you observe the following temperature guideline for storing foods:
Refrigerator: 40°F or below
Freezer: 0°F
Please note
► Once perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated, consume them
immediately.
► Before vacuum sealing, wash your hands, any utensils and all surfaces that may come in
contact with food.
► Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediatelyafter vacuum sealing them. Do not
leave perishable foods sitting at room temperature.
► The shelf life of dry foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals that have been vacuum
sealed will be extended significantly if they are stored in a cook, dark place. Exposure to
oxygen and warm temperatures will cause high-fat content foods to become rancid.
► Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables such as apples, bananas, potatoes
and other root vegetables, it is best to peel them to extend their shelf lives.
► Some vacuum-sealed fresh vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage can emit
gases. Blanch and frewwze these foods before vacuum sealing to reduce this effect.
