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.

Camping

Your FoodSaver

®

 Bags are ideal for outdoor excursions. For camping and 

bushwalking, keep your matches, maps and food dry and compact.

Water

To have fresh water for drinking, simply fill a FoodSaver

®

 Bag with ice, seal it, and 

when needed, let the ice pack melt. You can trim the corner off the bag to make 
a spout for drinking or pouring.

Boating

If you’re going sailing or boating, you can vacuum seal your food, extra batteries, 
memory cards, cash, identification cards, boating license and a dry change of 
clothes. Just remember to bring scissors or a knife to open the bags when you 
need them!

Emergency

To keep emergency kits safe and dry, vacuum seal flares, batteries, flashlights, 
matches, candles, first aid kits, extra food and other necessities. Your emergency 
items will stay dry and organized in your home, car, boat, caravan or 4WD.

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 75°C.

Preparation Guidelines for Make-ahead Meals, 

Leftovers and Sandwiches:

Efficiently store your make-ahead meals, leftovers and sandwiches in the 
stackable, lightweight FoodSaver

®

 containers. They are microwaveable, top rack 

dishwasher safe and come with a custom adaptor. The lightweight containers 
will be ready to head off to the office, to school or the great outdoors whenever 
you are!

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.
