Leaf vegetables:
For the best result, use a vacuum container for vacuum packing of leaf
vegetables. Rinse the vegetables and let them dry on kitchen paper or similar.
Vacuum pack later in a vacuum container and keep in the refrigerator.
Fruit:
Fruit with skin should be peeled before vacuum packing. We recommend
that you pre-freeze fruit for 1-2 hours before vacuum packing. Spread out
the fruit on baking paper or similar to prevent them from turning into a frozen
lump. Vacuum pack later in a vacuum bag and keep in the freezer. If you want
to keep it in the refrigerator, vacuum packing should be made in a vacuum
container.
Bread and cakes:
If you want to vacuum pack soft bread and cakes, we recommend that you use
a vacuum container to keep the shape. On the other hand, if you want to use
a vacuum bag, we recommend that you pre-freeze bread and cakes for 1-2
hours. It is of course also possible to vacuum pack cake dough, pies and cake
mix for later use.
Hard cheese:
To keep the cheese fresh, vacuum pack it if you are not going to use the
cheese within a couple of days. Use a very big vacuum bag, so that you can
reuse the bag if you want to vacuum pack the same cheese again.
Note!
Soft cheese should not be vacuum packed because of the risk of anaerobic
bacteria.
Powder and flour:
In order to prevent particles from getting into the vacuum pump, we
recommend that you put a coffee filter or kitchen paper between the contents
in the vacuum bag and the bag opening. Make sure that the filter/paper does
not get into the sealing. You can even vacuum pack the raw materials in the
original packaging by putting the original packaging and the contents in a
vacuum bag and then seal the vacuum bag.
Snacks:
If there are any snacks left, they will keep longer if vacuum packed. To get the
best result, use a vacuum container for vacuum packing to prevent crushing.
Liquid:
Before you vacuum pack liquid, e.g. soups and bouillon, pre-freeze the liquid in
a freezer resistant container or an ice cube tray until the liquid is fully frozen.
Next, remove the frozen liquid from the tray and vacuum pack it in a vacuum
bag or a vacuum container. Next, put the vacuum bag/vacuum container in
the freezer. Note that if liquid is vacuum packed direct in a vacuum container
without pre-freezing, the container may be damaged and crack when put in the
freezer.
