Notes on Storing Food
Vacuum sealing, i. e. vacuuming air out of the packaging,
is a common method of prolonging the storage life of food.
With the purchase of the C-VK 4000 you have chosen a
product that allows for the fast and convenient use of airtight
packaging.
Due to oxygen in the air, food may easily loose its fresh
flavour and quality.
Airtight packaging accommodates for that. Approx. 90 %
of the air will be removed from the sealing bag. Compared
to conventional storage methods, the storage time of
vacuumed and heat sealed food is therefore extended by
a factor of eight. Furthermore, freshness and flavor of the
food are retained for a longer time.
That allows you to portion and pack a variety of food and
ready meals as desired.
Even hard food, such as nuts or beans, as well as non-food
items that need to be protected from humidity, may be
sealed. Not to forget coins or silver jewellery, or clothes and
matches for the next boat trip.
The following regulations and notes will help you,
especially if you have never used a vacuum sealer
before.
• Wash your hands and clean the accessories beforehand.
• The sealing bag should be approx. 8 cm longer than the
items to be sealed.
• Do you have loose items, such as herbs, and want to cut
and reseal the bag? Calculate extra material of approx.
2 cm.
• Calculate another extra 5 cm, if you want to freeze the
items afterwards, because aqueous liquids might expand
when subjected to low temperature.
• Only use textured foils for creating a vacuum. Such as
ribbed, honey-comb or diamond texture.
• Keep the area around the sealing seam dry and clean.
Avoid creasing. The seam at these spots might otherwise
become permeable!
• The appliance features a
short-time duty
and needs to
cool down one minute before sealing the next bag.
• When peeled beforehand, fruits and vegetables last
longer.
•
Cabbage, such as broccoli and cauliflower, must be
blanched beforehand, as they release gas when inside
the packaging.
• Different items, such as meat, may contain humidity.
Place such items together with a kitchen paper towel
inside the bag.
• If sharp edges are likely to damage the bag (e. g. bones),
wrap such items in kitchen paper beforehand.
