Powder and flour:
In order to prevent particles from getting into the vacuum pump, we recommend
that you put a coffee filter or paper towel 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 ingredients in the original packaging by
putting the original packaging and the content in a vacuum bag and then seal
the vacuum bag.
Snacks:
If there are any remains, 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
having been frozen, the container may be damaged and crack when stored in
the freezer.
General rules when handling foodstuffs
•
Always wash your hands, surfaces and any utensil to be used when handling
and vacuum packing.
•
As soon as fresh food has been packed, put it in a refrigerator or a freezer
immediately and do not keep it in room temperature.
•
Raw materials that are warmed or defrosted shall be consumed immediately.
•
Tinned and factory vacuum packed food that has been opened can be
vacuum packed again. Follow the instructions in the manual and store the
raw materials in accordance with the recommendations.
•
Do not eat defrosted raw materials that have been kept in room temperature
for more than 5 hours.
•
Spread the vacuum packages in the refrigerator or the freezer to ensure a
fast cooling.
•
Note that vacuum packing is not the same as preservation.
