With OBH Nordica’s Food Sealers, you save both time and money!
OBH Nordica Food Sealers let you save food up to five times longer than with
conventional storage methods. This means that you can:
• Save money by buying economy or family size packages and vacuum pack
them for later use - no waste.
• Save time by preparing large portions and freezing in portion sizes straight
in vacuum bags.
You will also save time when you use the Food Sealer to marinate meat and
fish. Vacuum packing opens the meat’s/fish’s pores so that the marination
process only takes a few minutes instead of hours.
Moreover, by removing the air from the packaging, you avoid freezer burn on
the produce.
Important!
Vacuum packing is not the same as preserving and cannot prevent food from
getting old; however, it can delay the process.
Vacuum packing is not a substitute for refrigeration and freezing. Chilled goods
must still be stored in a refrigerator or freezer after vacuum packing.
If the temperature in the refrigerator is above +4°C for an extended period of
time, it promotes the formation of harmful micro-organisms, so the temperature
should be below +4°C.
Food can advantageously be stored in the freezer (preferably at -17°C or
lower). Even if it does not kill all micro-organisms, it inhibits their growth.
Parts of the Food Sealer
1.
Vac & seal
- for vacuum packing and sealing.

been achieved. Then push “Manual seal” to seal. Normal or gentle vacuum
pressure can be selected.
3.
Moist
- provides a shorter vacuum process for wet or moist produce.

- provides a longer vacuum process for dry produce without moisture
(default time is “Dry”).
4.
Gentle
- for soft and delicate produce that needs less vacuum pressure.
Normal
- for regular produce (default pressure is “Normal”).
5.
Canister
- is used only when vacuum packing in a canister.
