IMPORTANT:
When vacuum sealing apples, they must be sliced, and put a small bit of lemon juice on
the slices to prevent them from browning.
Because of their natural ripening, bananas may actually decay faster under a vacuum seal.
Food Preparation & Reheating Tips
Preparation Guidelines for Fruits:
When freezing soft fruits or berries, it is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly
frozen. To freeze fruit in individual servings, first place on a baking sheet and spread them out
so they are not touching. This prevents them from freezing together in a block. Once they are
frozen, remove from baking sheet and vacuum seal fruit in a FoodSaver
®
Bag. After they have
been vacuum sealed, return them to the freezer.
You can vacuum seal portions for baking or in your favorite combinations for easy fruit salad all
year round. If storing in the refrigerator, we recommend using a FoodSaver
®
Container.
Preparation Guidelines
for Baked Goods:
To vacuum seal soft or airy baked goods, we recommend using a FoodSaver
®
Container so they
will hold their shape. If using a bag, pre-freeze for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To save time,
make cookie dough, pie shells, whole pies, or mix dry ingredients in advance and vacuum seal
for later use.
Preparation Guidelines for
Coffee and Powdery Foods:
To prevent food particles from being drawn into Vacuum Pump, place a coffee filter or paper
towel at top of bag or container before vacuum sealing. You can also place the food in its
original bag inside a FoodSaver
®
Bag to vacuum seal.
Food Preparation & Reheating Tips
Preparation Guidelines for Liquids:
Before you vacuum seal liquids such as soup stock, pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf pan or ice
cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum seal in a FoodSaver
®
Bag. You
can stack these “frozen bricks” in your freezer. When you’re ready to use, just cut corner of bag
and place in a dish in microwave or drop into water at a low simmer, below 170°F (75°C).
To vacuum seal non-carbonated bottled liquids, you can use a FoodSaver
®
Bottle Stopper with
the original container. Remember to leave at least one inch (2.54 cm) of room between contents
and bottom of Bottle Stopper. You can reseal bottles after each use.
Preparation Guidelines for Make-ahead
Meals and Leftovers:
Efficiently store your make-ahead meals and leftovers in the stackable, lightweight
FoodSaver
®
Containers. These convenient FoodSaver
®
Containers are nestable, crack and shatter
resistant, dishwasher safe, and bases are microwave safe for reheating only.
Preparation Guidelines
for Snack Foods:
Your snack foods will maintain their freshness longer when you vacuum seal them. For best
results, use a FoodSaver
®
Container for crushable items like crackers.
